Some experts argue there may be three langur species in Nepal, but further research is needed. Globally, there are about 300 monkey species. Of these, the Assamese macaque is listed as a protected species under Nepal's National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act. The langurs are listed in Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), while the Rhesus and Assamese macaques are in Appendix II. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, the Assamese macaque and Tarai langur are endangered, while the Rhesus macaque and Nepal langur are classified as species of least concern.

The Himalayan goral (Naemorhedus goral) is a bovid species that occur in the Himalayas from Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, southern Tibet, and the states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh in India to western Myanmar. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List and CITES Appendix I because the population is thought to be declining significantly due to habitat loss and poaching for meat. Gorals are extremely difficult to spot because their camouflage is extremely effective, along with the fact that they lie motionless and can Stand at the vertical edge of a rock cliff.
