(see Assessment details)
Assessment rationale/justification
This species has been categorized as Critically Endangered in view of the number of mature individuals being less than 250 and population decline is continuing due to habitat destruction. Also its populations are heavily fragmented and there is very little or no genetic exchanges between two neighbouring populations. Severe human-elephant conflict and poaching are also contributing to this population decline.

Asian Elephants are generalists and they occur in grassland, tropical evergreen forest, mixed evergreen forest, moist deciduous forest, dry deciduous forested and dry thorn forest in addition to cultivated and secondary forests and scrublands. Asian Elephants are social animals and live in herds. They feed on grass and other vegetations but also raid crops. Senses of smell and hearing are well developed (Islam et al. 1999, IUCN Bangladesh 2000, Khan 1980, 1985, 1987).

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
This species is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Myanmar (Das et al. 2008). Of the three species of Langurs, this species has the widest distribution. It occurs in all forest ecosystems, barring the Sundarbans which never had any of the primates but the Rhesus Macaque. In the early 1970s and 1980s it occurred in Gazipur District to Jamalpur, Sherpur, Netrokona and Mymensingh under Dhaka Division to the forests in Sylhet and Chittagong Revenue Divisions. At the current time it has just a handful specimens left in Mymensingh Division when rests are present in the mixed evergreen forests of Sylhet and Chittagong Divisions (Khan 1981, 2015).

Habitat details as listed in assessment
This species is found in the dense forest and bamboo patches of both moist deciduous and mixed evergreen forests. It generally prefers middle canopy, but also uses the top and lower canopy of the forests. It also uses forest floor for feeding and moving. This species is diurnal and predominantly arboreal. It lives in single male multi-female groups and group size varies from 2 to 15 Langurs. It is mainly folivorous and the food supplemented by fruits, flowers and nectar. It drinks water from water accumulated in tree trunks and rarely from a ground level water body. It often sits and forages in trees along the bridle paths and roads passing through a forest.

Assessment rationale/justification
The population of this species is known to have been decreased. Although, Gittins and Akonda (1982) estimated only 100 individuals in Bangladesh. Khan 1987 considered the total population of Hanuman in Bangladesh to be between 250 and 300 individuals considering all ages. Khan and Ahsan (1986) reported 89 individuals in 8 groups in Jessore. Khatun (2012) reported 246 individuals at six villages of Keshabpur under Jessore District. Currently, approximately 204 individuals have been observed in at 11 groups distributed in Keshabpur and Monirampur Upazilas under the same district (Anon 2015, unpublished report), though the total population is not more than 250 individuals occurring in all districts. The number of mature individuals in total population could be slightly more than 140. The Extent of Occurrence of this species is more than 100 km2 but below 5,000 km2. Actual Area of Occupancy is above 10 km2. Since male migration has been occurring, all groups together can be considered as single population.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
This species occurs in south western Bangladesh and eastern India (in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, and West Bengal) and also occurs in Nepal (Chetri et al. 2006). The Bangladesh population is very likely to have originated from a single pair introduced by Hindu pilgrims on the bank of the River Jalangi (Mitra and Molur 2008). This is the only non-human primate species of Bangladesh that does not occur in any of the three forest types the country have. It occurs in south western Bangladesh mainly in Jessore District (Keshabpur and Manirampur upazillas), while few troops have been established in Faridpur, Meherpur, Jhinaidaha and Satkhira Districts.

This species has a restricted distribution only in the mixed evergreen forests of northeast, east and southeast of the country. So, it is inferred that at least 50% of its population has been reduced due to the decline of its AOO, EOO, over the last two decades or so, unprecedented changes in habitat qualities and potential level of exploitation that are continuing unabated. It has been wiped out from its former range in the Sal forests (Khan 1987). Thus, it has been categorized as Endangered.
