SGA critically endangered Raffles’ banded langur was recently spotted in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for the first time in nearly 40 years, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts. The sighting, documented in a peer-reviewed study published in 'Nature in Singapore,' suggests the langur may have returned via ecological corridors like Eco-Link@BKE. With only 70 to 80 individuals remaining in Singapore, the langur is classified as globally critically endangered.

This event follows previous sightings in nearby nature reserves and highlights ongoing efforts to monitor and protect the species.
