Eco-tech boosts rare wild monkey conservation in Guizhou
Mayanghe National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Guizhou Province has adopted smart ecological conservation measures to protect Francois' leaf monkeys, a national first-class protected wild animal species in China, and local karst forest ecosystems.
Steep terrain and weak signals once made field observation extremely difficult. The reserve has now set up a full-range monitoring network with infrared cameras, monitors and drones to record animal behaviors round the clock.
Such smart facilities greatly ease daily management. Reserve rangers can keep track of wildlife remotely and improve their living environment. Up to now, the monkey population has reached 72 groups with 554 individuals.
Also known as Francois' langurs, the species is among China's most endangered wild animals and listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. They inhabit Guangxi, Guizhou and Chongqing in China.
