The Popa langur Trachypithecus popa is the most endangered langur species in the world. Discovered in 2020, they are immediately considered critically endangered. These primates are known for their striking lilac-grey fur, expressive white-ringed eyes, and long tails. Named after Mount Popa, an extinct volcano in central Myanmar, they are a living testament to the region’s rich biodiversity.
Sadly, fewer than 300 individuals are still alive in the wild. Habitat destruction caused by palm oil deforestation, logging, and infrastructure development has pushed this species to the brink of extinction.
Protect their future by supporting indigenous-led conservation efforts, boycotting palm oil, and sharing their story. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
