Kickstarted as a postgraduate research project in January 2016 and officially registered as a primate conservation enterprise in 2022 – We, the Langur Project Penang (LPP) is a community science-based outreach and conservation project in Malaysia. We collaborate with governmental bodies, educational institutions, and non-governmental organisations (NGO) in Malaysia. LPP aims to foster coexistence among humans and urban wildlife through citizen science-based fieldwork capacity building, environmental education, and conservation efforts.

Dr. Jo Leen Yap, a wildlife researcher, environmental educator, and certified Malaysian Regional Nature Guide, established LPP by studying the ecology and behaviour of Dusky Langurs (Trachypithecus obscurus) in Penang. Today, LPP aims to promote coexistence among humans and urban monkeys through community science and environmental education. LPP has the vision to further bridge the gap between primate conservation and community engagement in Malaysia.
