Abstract | The southern white-cheeked gibbon Nomascus siki is endemic to Indochina and is classified as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. The most updated information on the status of this species dates back to a decade ago. As hunting has tremendous impacts on wildlife in Southeast Asia, the population of N. siki might have changed a lot in the last decade. Updated information on the status and potential distribution of this species is critically important for conservation and prioritization, especially for N. siki because of its undefined distribution range. The goal of this study was to review the population status of N. siki in Vietnam and Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) and to model its potential distribution. In Vietnam, this species has been intensively surveyed in all major areas of occurrence from 2016 to 2021. The total number of N. siki groups recorded and estimated in Vietnam were 324 and 483, respectively. In Lao PDR, the occurrence of N. siki has been confirmed in Nam Kading, Nakai Nam Theun, Hin Nam No, and Phou Hinpoun national protected areas. However, population estimates are generally lacking. The suitable habitat of N. siki was predicted from about 105.00° to 106.80° E longitude and from about 16.60° to 17.90° N latitude located in Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces (Vietnam), and Khammounan and Savannakhet provinces (Lao PDR). The area of the potential distribution range is about 9894.15 km |
