This monkey is a settler on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia and can be found in all three countries that share this island: Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia. It is most common around the island's rivers, coastal areas, mangroves, and swamps.

These species are classified as threatened. Their number has decreased by 50% in the past 36-40 years. The loss of habitat was the main reason for the significant decline in its population.
