With this research, I will examine the conservation value of fragmented forests for an Endangered primate endemic to Sri Lanka, the northern people-faced langur (Semnopithesus vetulus philbricki). Although these animals appear to be sensitive to urbanization and the loss of forest cover, their biology (i.e., folivory) may allow them to sustain populations in small degraded forests. Throughout their range in the dry zone, landscape change has likely caused the ongoing fragmentation of remaining forest, and an assessment of the ability of S. v. philbricki to occupy small forest patches is therefore timely. In Sri Lanka, crop foraging wildlife is also becoming an increasing issue as forest cover changes, and people’s reactions to wildlife may be impacted by the risk of economic losses due to animals. Studies show that both crop foraging and other human-wildlife interactions are prevalent in fragmented landscapes because increasing forest edge creates accessible boundaries between primate habitat and human dominated areas.
