Guarding the forest: Zhong Tai steps down after 38-year career in Yunnan’s lush valleys
保护森林:在云南郁郁葱葱的山谷中工作了38年后，钟泰终于走下了山
The black snub-nosed monkey, known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, is a creature that lives in a narrow corridor area stretching from Mangkang county in Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region to Yunlong County, Southwest China's Yunnan. It has a distinctive upturned nose, a pair of big eyes, black fur and pink lips. It is in the list of national first-level protected wild animals, and it is hard to spot given that its habitat is lush valleys at a height of 3,000 meters.Zhong Tai, who has just retired from his position as deputy director at the management and protection bureau of Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve in Yunnan, is one of people who knows this medium-sized primate species the most. Zhong came to the area when he was 17, and launched his 38-year-long career to work with wildlife.
