中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
濒临灭绝的狮尾猿（狮尾猕猴）只栖息在南印度的西高止山脉一带。那里的世界正在迅速地向两极化发展着，一方面印度受到自身庞大人口的危害，另一方面又一股脑地投身到现代化建设当中去。忧心忡忡的人们正在联合起来为人类和森林的居民们挽救那些即将失去的东西。

英文注释：
Macaques, Valparai, India, 2001
The endangered lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus)) has only one home, the dense rain forests of the Western Ghats mountain range. That world is fragmenting fast, a victim of India's surging population and headlong eagerness to modernize. Concerned citizens are joining forces and working to save what's left before it's too late—for human beings and forest dwellers alike.
