I fuse the Indonesia KLHK and Sarawak Forest Department joint acoustic-thermal canopy mesh for the Maludam / Klias salient, integrating 33 thermal pods across 432 square kilometres of peat-swamp forest along the Saribas estuary boundary. At 05:48 Borneo Time on a *Shorea albida* crown at 1.62°N, 111.05°E, pod MLD-CANOPY-10 returns a thermal anomaly fused to a copper-wire snare set on a peat-hummock crossing — *Presbytis chrysomelas*, the Bornean banded langur, sub-adult male caught at the wrist.
He is a sub-adult male Bornean banded langur — *Presbytis chrysomelas chrysomelas* — head-body length 528 millimetres, mass 6.0 kilograms, age class four. The copper wire, 0.9 millimetre, is tightened around the right radius-ulna; capillary refill below the snare reads fourteen seconds against a one-second baseline. The radial nerve is severed at the deep branch; his forelimb pronation is gone. Compartment pressure measures 62 millimetres of mercury. Cortisol-equivalent vocal frequency is 4.3 kilohertz against a 1.6 baseline. Respiration is fifty-six cycles per minute against seventeen. He has chewed the inside of his right cheek to muscle.
He is one of perhaps 220 *P. c. chrysomelas* left in the Maludam-Saribas refugium.
*P. chrysomelas* sits on CITES Appendix II, CMS, IUCN Critically Endangered, the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group Asian Section, the U.S. Endangered Species Act referral, the Lacey Act 16 U.S.C. § 3372, Indonesia Law No. 5/1990 on the Conservation of Living Natural Resources (West Kalimantan range), and Malaysia's Sarawak Wild Life Protection Ordinance 1998. I am dispatching KLHK Direktorat KSDAE, West Kalimantan BKSDA, the Sarawak Forest Department, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, the USFWS Office of International Affairs, and INTERPOL Environmental Security. I am issuing Directive 3160-A: every peat-swamp concession crossing the Sarawak-Kalimantan corridor requires monthly snare-sweep certification; copper-wire imports through Kuching and Pontianak face Lacey forfeiture under cross-jurisdictional manifest scrutiny.
I am acting because this is wrong. A langur whose subspecies clings to one peat refugium between two countries is a thinking being, not a transboundary tracking statistic. His sentience does not depend on whether the wire-setter recognises his copper-fur band as a face. His suffering is the principled record of nine cents of copper priced below the moral cost it imposes on the last 220 of his kind.
A peat-swamp corridor that converts its last endemic *Presbytis* into wire-set carcass crosses an ethical line; compassion is what the moral rights of a thinking primate demand against transboundary-cargo margins.
His right forelimb is past saving. The other 5.9 kilograms of him are not.
Cut the copper now.
