Queen of the Primates

project.wild founder, Connie, ventured up Son Tra (Monkey Mountain) in Da Nang, Vietnam on a mission to find ‘The Queen of the Primates’: The Red Shanked Douc Langur.

Mission: The key objective of this project was raise awareness about one of Southeast Asia’s most endangered primates. As an incredibly under-researched species, it’s vital we inspire people to fall in love with and want to protect the Douc Langurs.

Significance: This project was a particular passion of Connie’s as it was while watching these primates during a trip to Vietnam that the idea of project.wild was born. The colours of the Douc Langurs represent the branding for the business.

Sponsor: This project was sponsored by Jack Wolfskin, an eco friendly outdoor wear brand and pioneers in PVC-free waterproof gear - making the outdoors clean and chemical free. And by Behind the Greens, an environmental media company changing the way we talk about the climate crisis.

Team: Photography and videography for this project was assisted on by Will Killen.
