The Philippine Long-tailed Macaque is found on all major islands (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao). However, though classified "Near Threatened," it is actually in serious retreat or already extinct in much of its original range. For instance, in Olongapo in Zambales Province (western central Luzon), where a patch of old-growth forest remains, the monkeys have found some refuge; unfortunately, they are often road killed, accidentally electrocuted by live wires, and sometimes stoned. |
