Abstract
Visitors activities were observed and their effects on foraging behaviour of proboscis monkeys in trees were recorded. Visitors were interviewed to seek their understanding of the importance of Proboscis Monkey Nasalis larvatus as a main attraction of the park. The off-trail activities and visitors engaged in laughing were the most disturbing effects on the foraging behaviour. Majority of visitors rated the survival of proboscis monkeys as very important to them. The presence of the monkeys heightened visitors satisfaction and experience of the park.
