About Yunnan Snub-Nosed Monkey National Park Tacheng Section
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is a nationally protected Class I species endemic to China, listed as Endangered by the IUCN and found only in a roughly 20,000 sq km band between the Jinsha and Lancang rivers. The Xianggelila (Shangri-La) Yunnan Snub-Nosed Monkey National Park at Tacheng sits within the core area of the Three Parallel Rivers region, 62 km from the Weixi county seat, and its listed sub-sites include the Xiangguqing wildlife rescue station, the Buddhist site of Damo Patriarch Cave, the Qizong sacred spring, a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at Qibie, the Geden Neolithic site, the 'first rock gate of the Yangtze' and the Lisu mountain village of Duonage. A Yunnan provincial forestry and grassland bureau survey reported in 2021 found the species' population had grown from about 1,000-1,500 individuals in 13 groups in 1996 to more than 3,300 individuals in 23 groups.
