The natural population of the Javan Langur Monkey (Trachypithecus auratus) is in decline. This endangered species is struggling to survive amidst deforestation, poaching and illegal trade of these animals. This sanctuary takes in Javan langurs that have been rescued or confiscated. Once at the sanctuary, the monkeys are then put through a rehabilitation program which includes the introduction of natural food, socialization, a medical and psychological check-up and recovery. This is to hopefully enable them to be released back into the wild. Volunteers on this project will be assisting with this rehabilitation process. Daily assigned activities include feeding the monkeys and enriching, cleaning and sterilizing the enclosures. Some volunteers may assist with monitoring the released langurs in their natural habitats. If volunteers happen to be there at the right time, they may be able to observe the team undertake a release back into the wild.
