The project aims to protect this globally important area and its wildlife not only through enabling the establishment of one new protected area and strengthening the existing protected areas system in the limestone range but also through building the capacity of relevant stakeholders to manage the wider karst ecosystem through a regional landscape plan. It will improve the conservation status of the critically endangered Delacour's langur, and generate public support for karst conservation.
