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have been observed in at 11 groups distributed in Keshabpur and Monirampur Upazilas under the same district (Anon 2015, unpublished report), though the total population is not more than 250 individuals occurring in all districts.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.
