The golden langur is a medium-sized primate. In India, a comprehensive survey to estimate the golden langur population in Assam was conducted in 2008-2009 by the Assam Forest Department with the support of local non-governmental organisations. The golden langur thrives in the vicinity of human-dominated landscapes, especially in plantations and orchards. Golden langurs are polygamous; females and males start breeding around five and six years of age, respectively. Because of their high endemicity and small population, the golden langur has received the maximum conservation attention.
