GEORGE TOWN: Although they are now becoming a common sight on rooftops and in gardens, the majestic dusky langurs (Trachypithecus obscurus) are at risk of going extinct if nothing is done to protect their natural habitat.
Langur Project Penang (LPP) founder Dr Yap Jo Leen said the primates are now classified as an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.
