This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective: To conserve the Golden Langur in India. The Golden Langur Conservation Project is a holistic project that blends conservation, research, education, economic development and community development. We focus on the full range of the golden langur in western Assam, India. We work with more than 130 villages to create forest protection committees and self-help groups that create economic opportunities for villagers. We are stepping up conservation and evaluation efforts at one focal area, the 17.2 sq. Kakoijana Reserve Forest. Project participants, including national forest members and villagers from adjacent communities, plan to measure changes in reforestation, the increase in golden langurs, and changes in economic development within 10 communities surrounding Kakoijana. We aim to provide definitive proof of the success of the holistic community conservation approach by: 1) Providing data supporting the success of the conservation efforts; 2) Creating a monitoring program for one golden langur population; 3) Creating a community-based research program; 4) Gathering data on ecology and behavior of golden langurs in Kakoijana; 5) Training villagers in simple data gathering methods; 6) Encouraging villager interest in the forests, the monkeys and their conservation; 7) Providing community incentives to protect the langurs and their habitat. The project ran from January to December 2008. The Jacobsen grant is funded personnel, including the hiring and training of additional community research assistants, to total 15-20, plus on-site transportation, binoculars and GPS units. Participants mapped the study sites and collected data. Additional data is being taken in 2009 to complete a 12-month yearly cycle. Results: The Golden Langur Conservation Project has caused an increase in the total Indian population of the golden langur. In Kakoijana the population has gone from less than 100 monkeys to almost 500 in 10 years. The forest cover of Kakoijana has gone from about 5% to now 60-70% secondary forest. We will have 2 perhaps 3 censuses (the latter will be over 500 langurs) and ecological data. We also have data on the migration of a partial edge troop that has left Kakoijana looking for a new home and the corridor it moved in. This data will help us create new and/or strengthened corridors between isolated Reserve Forests in the southern range of the langurs. The Lawrence Jacobsen Conservation Award from the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center was a new, annual award established in 2008 to support studies in applied conservation biology that protect non-human primate species and their habitats. Note: Species is Golden Langur (Trachypithecus geei). Publications are pending.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 目的：保护印度的金眼鲷。 黄金海岸保护项目是一个综合项目，融合了保护、研究、教育、经济发展和社区发展。我们专注于印度阿萨姆邦西部的全系列金叶猴。我们与130多个村庄合作，成立森林保护委员会和自助小组，为村民创造经济机会。 我们正加强一个重点地区的保护和评估工作，该地区面积为17. 2平方米。Kakoijana保护区森林。项目参与者，包括国家森林成员和邻近社区的村民，计划测量Kakoijana周围10个社区内重新造林的变化、金叶猴的增加以及经济发展的变化。 我们的目标是通过以下方式为整体社区保护方法的成功提供明确的证据：1）提供支持保护工作成功的数据; 2）为一个金叶猴种群创建一个监测计划; 3）创建一个基于社区的研究计划; 4）收集关于Kakoijana金叶猴生态和行为的数据; 5）培训村民简单的数据收集方法; 6）鼓励村民对森林、猴子及其保护的兴趣; 7）提供社区激励措施，以保护叶猴及其栖息地。 该项目从2008年1月持续到12月。雅各布森赠款是资助人员，包括雇用和培训额外的社区研究助理，总共15-20，加上现场交通，望远镜和全球定位系统单位。参与者绘制了研究地点的地图并收集了数据。2009年正在收集更多的数据，以完成一个12个月的年度周期。 结果：金叶猴保护项目导致了印度金叶猴总数量的增加。 在Kakoijana，猴子的数量在10年内从不到100只增加到近500只。 Kakoijana的森林覆盖率从5%左右上升到现在的60-70%次生林。 我们将有两个或三个人口普查（后者将超过500叶猴）和生态数据。我们也有部分边缘部队的迁移数据，这些部队离开Kakoijana寻找新家和它进入的走廊。这些数据将帮助我们在叶猴南部孤立的保护区森林之间创建新的和/或加强的走廊。 威斯康星州国家灵长类动物研究中心的劳伦斯·雅各布森保护奖是一个新的年度奖项，成立于2008年，旨在支持保护非人类灵长类动物物种及其栖息地的应用保护生物学研究。 注：种属为金猴（Tracypithecus geei）。 出版物待定。
