Yunnan snub-nosed monkey research of the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract

At the beginning of 2016, I returned to the Baima Snow Mountain with a CCTV film crew. As the birth place of the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, Baima Snow Mountain in northwest Yunnan belongs to the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet and Yunnan-Guizhou plateaus, and is regarded as the most magnificent of the Yunling Mountains. Revisiting my old haunt, I cannot help but recall the international snub-nosed monkey research launched by the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) so many years ago.
