Golden Snub-nosed Monkey

The Golden Snub-nosed monkey is a rare endangered species of primate found in Central and Southwestern mountainous regions of China. Their population has decreased due to loss of habitat mainly because of deforestation and disruption. Found in a relatively small area, any disruption to their environment such as human settlement or removing their main food sources is a threat to their ultimate survival. Monitoring this species and continuing conservation efforts for these beautiful elusive creatures is essential.
