Features: The golden snub-nosed monkey is a unique species of leaf monkey in China and has long attracted the attention of primatologists both domestically and internationally. Moreover, due to the fact that these monkeys often live in groups of tens of thousands, and such large groups are rare among other primates, they have piqued the interest of primatologists, ethologists, anthropologists, and psychologists. The Social Life of the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey is a result of field research on golden snub-nosed monkey groups conducted by the Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, Peking University, and the Scientific Research Station of Shennongjia National Nature Reserve. It has been published by Peking University Press. The authors hope that through this book, they can inspire public interest and affection for the golden snub-nosed monkey, encourage enthusiasm for biodiversity conservation and wildlife protection, create strong public opinion, and allow the beautiful golden snub-nosed monkeys to live peacefully in their own land.
