mysterious monkey re found?

Reference: http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2012/01/21/mysterious_monkey_rediscovered_in_borneo.html

Summary: A PhD student from Simon Fraser University went to Borneo hoping to take pictures of the clouded leopard. He set up his cameras to find the leopard instead he found something even more outstanding. He was dumbfounded when he reviewed the time lapsed photos. Instead of the leopard he saw Millers grizzled langur. This monkey was thought to have been extinct or on the break of extinction. The only evidence that they had to compare the pictures were specimens that were in a museum.

Critique: This article is really interesting because we could help save this monkey from extinction

Impact: This will help us save the monkey from extinction by makiing us more aware that it is still alive and maybe we could help save its habitat.
