A Life Devoted to Protecting the Snub-nosed Monkey

China Today, February 7, 2017 Adjust font size:

 Yu Jianhua sets out on foot loaded with monkey feed.


This meager income did not deter local people, spurred by their affection for the monkey, from joining Yu’s team of rangers. Its members peaked at around 20. Even after the subsidy rose to RMB 1,200, young people seldom worked as rangers for long. Compared with what they could earn in big cities, it was peanuts. This made it difficult to find new blood for the ranger team.

Ensure a Safe Environment

Yu believes that the increased subsidy is attributable to commercialized operations. Since the Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkey National Park in Shangri-La invited a company to run its tourism business, more visitors have come here.
