Andie Ang's personal interest in monkeys was awakened when she was a child.In 1995，Ang's father saw some sailors mistreating a small young African monkey and brought it home.
Just ten at the time,Ang clearly remembers her excitement on first seeing the golden-furred little monkey.She named him Ah Boy and they soon became close companions. "I would cycle through the neighbourhood and Ah Boy would always follow me," recalls Ang. "Neighbors would stop to look and comment,'Oh,so cute!'" Ah Boy quickly developed a daily routine of climbing onto Ang's shoulders to pull her hair apart in search of anything that shouldn't have been there.
But as the years passed,the family became unable to care for the monkey,so Ang turned to the internet for help.After a complicated and costly process,the day arrived for Ang and Ah Boy to say goodbye.It was a tearful parting for her.Later that day,Ang made up her mind to study monkeys. "The time we spent together made me want to know more about monkeys,the threats to them,and how we can help," she says.
After getting a Life Sciences degree,Ang went on to complete a PhD in Biological Anthropology with a specialty in Raffles' banded langurs（黑脊叶猴），a critically endangered species which hadn't been studied for 15 years.
Today,she spends hours in Singapore's Central Catchment Nature Reserve,where the entire local population of Raffles' banded langurs can be found,doing field research in the forest.Her group has done lots of things to preserve this species,identifying and naming every monkey living in residential areas.They enjoyed discovering their individual personalities.As a result of Ang's work and growing support among locals,the community has come to better understand the value of native wildlife.The future of this small population of Raffles' banded langurs has become a lot more certain.
