PLEDGE TO WALK A MILE A DAY FROM 4TH AUGUST TO END OF SEPTEMBER.  I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO WALK PROPERLY SINCE BREAKING A BONE IN MY BACK IN EARLY FEBRUARY, I'M 77 & HAD BEEN IN LOCK-DOWN SINCE EARLY MARCH UNTIL 1ST AUGUST.
I HAVE 'COMPLEX POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER', AGORAPHOBIA AND PAINFUL NEUROPATHY IN MY FEET AND LEGS.  DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT FOR OVER 7 MONTHS DUE TO COVID-19, WALKING AND FACING THE WORLD AGAIN WERE GOING TO BE VERY FRIGHTENING, SO I KNEW I NEEDED 'SOMETHING SPECIAL' TO GET MYSELF WALKING AGAIN AND DECIDED TO 'DO IT FOR THE DOUC' TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP 'Endangered Asian Species Trust': https://www.go-east.org/ BUILD A NEW FOREST ENCLOSURE FOR THE ORPHANED DOUC.  DOUC-LANGURS, BLACK-SHANKED, RED-SHANKED AND GREY SHANKED ARE AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND ENDANGERED MONKEYS IN THE WORLD.  ALL 3 SPECIES ARE NATIVE TO CAMBODIA, LAO PDR, AND VIETNAM.  ADULTS ARE ILLEGALLY HUNTED AND KILLED SO THEIR ORGANS CAN BE USED IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE OR FOR BUSH-MEAT.  THIS MEANS THAT ORPHANED BABIES ARE OFTEN LEFT TO DIE OR SOLD INTO THE ILLEGAL PET TRADE, WHERE THEY ALSO DIE. SINCE MARCH 2019 DAO TIEN, IN VIETNAM, '(Endangered Asian Species Trust': https://www.go-east.org/) THE  SISTER PROJECT OF 'MONKEY WORLD' - https://monkeyworld.org/
HAS TAKEN IN 6 BABY DOUC, ONE WAS PARTICULARLY UNWELL WHEN SHE ARRIVED AND SADLY DIED, BUT THEY STILL HAVE FIVE BABIES, SOME ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR PARENTS BLASTED OUT OF THE TREES AND ARRIVED AT DAO TIEN TRAUMATISED AND OFTEN PEPPERED WITH GUN SHOT PELLETS.  THEY ARE GOING TO NEED YEARS OF CARE BEFORE THEY CAN BE RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD.  STAFF AT DAO TIEN NEED TO BUILD A NEW 'FOREST ENCLOSURE' FOR THE ORPHANED BABIES, WHERE THEY CAN GROW STRONG, AND BE WEANED AWAY FROM THE COMPANY OF HUMANS AND EVENTUALLY RELEASED BACK TO THE WILD, WHERE THEY BELONG.   MY PHOTO SHOWS YOUNG DOUC, ANTHONY, TEACHING YOUNGER LUOM, THE CORRECT 'LEAF' TO EAT.
