Distribution and Habitat
Delacour's langur is endemic to Vietnam, where it is found only in an area of around 6,000 square kilometres (2,300 sq mi) in the provinces of Ninh Binh, Ha Nam, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa, and Ha Tay in the north of the country. The largest surviving population is believed to be in Van Long Nature Reserve in Ninh Binh, where the monkey inhabits open forest up to elevations of 328 metres (1,076 ft), in terrain dominated by limestone karst.

“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
