China Daily  

Yang Wei, deputy director of the rescue center at the Fanjingshan reserve, takes care of a golden monkey. The biodiversity and natural beauty of Mount Fanjing, including its status as the lone habitat of the iconic golden monkey, ensure its place among the country's top nature reserves. Li often has to walk among the shrubs, traverse narrow winding paths and climb precipitous cliffs in search of traces of wildlife activity and rare plant distribution, taking notes accordingly. "It's hard, but I feel extremely proud that I can help protect the rare animals and plants of our country," Li says. There are more than 40 different types of forests, comprising, among others, dove trees and hemlock, as well as endangered animals, including golden monkeys, Tibetan macaques, clouded leopards and black bears.
