Abstract
The endemic proboscis monkeys in Borneo live along the rivers and coasts where people also tend to concentrate. Hitherto there has been room for both. But in Kalimantan, logging and wood-processing industries are expanding rapidly — Indonesia hopes to be self-sufficient in pulp and paper by 1984 — and this, together with the planned removal by the same date of 2½ million people from overcrowded Java, mostly to Kalimantan, could seriously affect the proboscis.
