Moreover, the analysis of data were conducted with statistics descriptive analysis. The results showed that the home range that has been analyzed using Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) is 142.45 ha and this area of long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) home range lies in almost all of the Menipo NTP area with its forest characteristics that consists of dry forests, brackish forests, and coastal forests.
