The region also enjoys the highest primate diversity in India harboring 9 species out of the total 15 primate species in the country. However, in vast areas of the Arunachal Pradesh including Dibang Wildlife Sanctuary any systematic primate survey is yet to be carried out. Due to its bio-geographical continuity with Myanmar and China, there remains the possibility of occurrence of high primate diversity in Dibang area.
