Ecological corridor expands habitat for snub-nosed monkeys in southwest China's Guizhou

With a population of only around 850, the Guizhou snub-nosed monkey is under top-level state protection in China. It is one of five snub-nosed monkey species globally and one of the three endemic to China.

Their habitat, Mount Fanjing, boasts a geological history dating back 1.4 billion years. Its ancient forests of fir, hemlock, and dove trees provide a specialized ecosystem for the monkeys, but also limit their interaction with the outside world.
