RE: Attractions of Halong Bay #4 Cat Ba National Park
It's truly a tragedy to see these animals brought to the brink of extinction by the hand of humanity. People have lived far too long without noticing the reprecussions of their actions. You are doing good work spreading the message about these Langur and I hope that efforts like these can bring about a change in the way we see nature.
Great Post! Do you know why they were poached? Generally speeking it's connected to some kind of value, (Rhinos are poached for their horns, bears used to be poached for "fancy" meat and medicine, etc.)
Thanks so much for your kind comments. The langurs were poached for the usual dumb reason out here. There bones were used in "traditional" medicine. It's tragic and as you say, the worst of humanity.
