SINGAPORE - A Raffles’ banded langur was spotted for the first time on the Eco-Link@BKE, a positive sign that the monkey – which is now mainly found in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve – could be venturing into other forested areas to find food and mates.

The sighting represents an encouraging sign for the species, the National Parks Board (NParks) said in a statement on April 25, as it means that the link bridge was used to expand its habitat and increase its chances of survival.
