Golden langur threatened by lack of suitable habitat

[UngulateNerd92]

• A habitat suitability study of the golden langur, that’s found in Assam, India and Bhutan, projects that by 2031, only 13% of its current habitat will be liveable for the species.
• The habitats that the species would find amenable are scattered and fragmented and are vulnerable to the growing human-caused changes leading to deforestation.
• Community conservation is helping the species in increasing its population in certain pockets in Assam.

The golden langur, first photographed and formally discovered by naturalist and tea planter E. P. Gee in 1953 on the east bank of the Manas river on the Bhutan-Assam border, is now struggling for suitable habitats. A habitat suitability study of the golden langur, a primate that is endemic to Assam in India and the bordering country of Bhutan, projects that only 13% of the current habitat will be suitable for the species by 2031. At present, 18% of the current habitat range of 66,320 square kilometres across the transboundary region is suitable for the species.

I would almost say ... kick out the jams from 50% of territories and thus save the species. Half Earth is only fair (and honestly should be way more compared to overzealous and arrogant humankind).
