Editing Proboscis monkey (section)

==Conservation status==
The proboscis monkey is assessed as [[endangered]] in the [[IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]] and listed in Appendix I of [[CITES]]. Its total population has decreased by more than 50% in the past 36–40 years to 2008 due to ongoing [[habitat loss]] because of logging and oil palm plantations, and hunting in some areas due to the species being treated as a delicacy, as well as its use in traditional Chinese medicine.<ref name=":0" /> The population is fragmented: the largest remaining populations are found in [[Kalimantan]]; there are far fewer in [[Sarawak]], [[Brunei]] and [[Sabah]].<ref name=iucn/> The proboscis monkey is protected by law in all regions of Borneo. In Malaysia, it is protected by a number of laws including the Wildlife Protection Act (federal law), the Wildlife Protection Ordinance 1998 (Chapter 26) and Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997 (Sabah state law).

The proboscis monkey can be found in 16 protected areas: [[Danau Sentarum National Park]], [[Gunung Palung National Park]], Kendawangan Nature Reserve, [[Kutai National Park]], Lesan Protection Forest, Muara Kaman Nature Reserve, Mandor Reserve and [[Tanjung Puting|Tanjung Puting National Park]] in Indonesia; [[Bako National Park]], Gunung Pueh Forest Reserve, Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, Klias National Park, [[Kulamba Wildlife Reserve]], Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, Sungei Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary and Ulu Segama Reserve in Malaysia.<ref name=iucn/>
