On Saturday 15th September The Aspinall Foundation's Java Primate Project released 13 wild born Javan langurs into a 2000 hectare band of forest in the east of the island of Java. These langurs have been held in captivity in cramped and unsuitable conditions for up to nine years each, after they were taken from the forest to supply the demand for primates as pets. Thanks to the work of our team in Indonesia in collaboration with local communities, forestry commissions and the Indonesian Government, these primates will have a second chance of life in the wild.
