The Ecological Role of Javan Langurs as Conservation of Flora Biodiversity

Javan langurs (Trachypithecus auratus) are a group of primate animals that are endemic to Indonesia which is protected. In Indonesia we called it Lutung Jawa. The IUCN data states that Javan langurs are listed in Appendix II of CITES or may not be traded as Vulnerable. This is because these animals are increasingly rare due to their declining population (Eliana et al. 2017). The decline in the Javan langur population is caused by various factors and the main factor in humans. Javan langurs are wild animals whose natural habitat is in the forest. Various habitat damages such as forest burning, deforestation, land conversion, and illegal hunting have resulted in an increasingly depressed natural ecosystem of the Javan langurs.
