Here's a map showing the distribution of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys in China:
[Map of China with Golden Snub-nosed Monkey range highlighted]
* Yunnan: This province is home to the largest population of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys.
* Sichuan: The monkeys are found in the western and northern parts of this province, particularly in the Minshan Mountains.
* Gansu: The monkeys have a smaller range in this province, mostly concentrated in the southern part of the Qilian Mountains.
It is important to note that the distribution of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys is not uniform within these provinces. They are typically found in specific areas with suitable habitat, which includes:
* High altitude forests: They prefer forests dominated by coniferous and broadleaf trees.
* Rocky terrain: They are often found in areas with cliffs and rock formations.
* Proximity to water sources: They need access to rivers, streams, and springs.
The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey is an endangered species, and their habitat is threatened by deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique primates and their dwindling populations.
