Long-term Field Research on Primate Behavioral Ecology
Founded in 2014 by Dr. Himani Nautiyal, the Himalayan Langur Project began as a small field study and has since grown into a long-term research program on primate ecology in human-dominated landscapes. She completed her doctoral research at Kyoto University on langur sociality, genetic structure, and human-community relationships, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Howard University. HLP is now a collaborative research platform. Field assistants, students, and researchers across disciplines contribute to long-term data collection, community engagement, and conservation education throughout the Himalayas.
