One Vietnamese specialist whom Rawson trained has helped record the country's largest single group of grey-shanked douc langurs, a gorgeous monkey with an orange face and white beard that lives in the highlands of central Vietnam. Some organizations have even hired primate hunters, whose keen tracking skills make them useful for surveying elusive populations.
