Thus, the overall objective of this Action Plan is to re-establish viable populations of Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys within secure habitats throughout their range in Viet Nam. Four broad goals have been identified towards achieving this objective:

​

Short-term goals:

1. To secure adequate protection for currently known populations of the Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys and their habitats, to arrest any further decline in populations and habitats within 3 years.

​

2. To secure protection of habitats available to the Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys through establishing new protected areas, extensions of existing ones, or establishing land corridors between protected areas with Tonkin snub-nosed monkey populations within 3 to 5 years.
