Philippine long-tailed macaque height of 40–50 cm (16–20 in). It is the size of a domestic cat. Male macaques weigh 4–8 kg, but females only attain 3–4 kg. The Philippine long-tailed macaque is found in all major Philippine island groups (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao). However, though assessed Near Threatened, it is actually in serious retreat or already extinct in much of its original range. For instance, in Olongapo in Zambales Province (western central Luzon), where a patch of old-growth forest remains, the monkeys have found some refuge; however, they are often road killed, accidentally electrocuted by live wires, and sometimes stoned.

Celebes crested macaque Paignton Zoo are among a number of mostly European zoos which hold "ex-situ" breeding populations of this animal. Since 2006, the "Macaca Nigra Project" has been studying the biology and promoting the conservation of this species. The project, a collaboration between the German Primate Center and the Bogor Agricultural Institute, is run by Antje Engelhardt and located in the Tangkoko reserve, home of the biggest crested macaque population remaining in the species' original distribution range. Nevertheless, despite being critically endangered, crested black macaque are still being hunted down and slaughtered. Crested black macaque is considered a delicacy by local residents.
