The Purple-faced langur  The purple-faced langur, also known as the purple-faced leaf monkey, is a species of the Cercopithecidae family that is endemic to Sri Lanka. The monkey is a long-tailed arboreal species, identified by a mostly brown appearance, dark face and a very shy nature. According to the Mammals of Sri Lanka, the 4 subspecies are,
The purple-faced langur is found in closed canopy forests in Sri Lanka's mountains and the southwestern part of the country (wet zone). The purple-faced langur is mostly foilvorous, but their diet also contains fruits, flowers and seeds. While they normally avoid human habitations, they also feed on fruit such as jak (Artocarpus heterophyllus), rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), banana (Musa balbisiana) and mango (Mangifera indica). The western purple-faced langur is one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world. So let's do our best to protect all the endangered animal species in the world.

Hello Seyera, this is your mentor Chelwoon.
I think this article is related to this month??s theme. I am wondering if enough measures are being taken for purple-faced leaf monkeys. Otherwise, they are likely to be extinct very soon.
What do you think is the main cause that made them one of the 25 most endangered primates? And what do you think we should do to deal with this problem?
Thank you for the article!
Regards,
Chelwoon

Hello Seyara, this is your mentor Joon.
There are so many endangered animals in the world. They are facing dangers mostly due to human activities, yet we are not taking much responsibility into our actions. We do not know how species are interrelated and we are not sure which of them are keystone species which connects the middle level of the pyramid and plays crucial role. Therefore, we always have to work on reducing the possible extinction for us to survive in this planet.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon
