Decades-long mission continues to protect snub-nosed monkeys

In the heart of the Baihe National Nature Reserve, nestled in Jiuzhaigou county, the Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province, approximately 1,700 wild Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys find joy in their natural habitat. Watching over them day and night are dedicated rangers.

At the forefront of this conservation effort is team leader Tang Yulin, 56, of the Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Research and Monitoring Center at the Taiping Protection Station in the reserve. His family has a longstanding connection to the reserve — his granduncle, Tang Guoshun, was among the first staff members when the reserve was established in 1963, followed by his father, Tang Daigui. Inspired by their commitment to protecting the monkeys, Tang Yulin vowed to continue their legacy.
