Since 2007, the DLF has supported a professional staff of Vietnamese biologists and botanists who collect field observations on the douc diet, behavior and ecology all year. These studies are providing the first long term data on various aspects of behavior by all members of the group. Our botanist has been documenting the characteristics of all plants the doucs’ utilize. In addition, the chemical properties of all foods consumed have been analyzed.
Our research has taken place in Son Tra and Chu Mom Ray National Park
