The golden monkeys are unquestionably the most beautiful monkeys in the world. Most of them inhabit the mid- and south-western mountains of China. Their total population is only around 28,000, and human activity is the biggest threat to the survival of their species. This book provides a brief yet thorough introduction to the golden monkeys. Hopefully it will bring attention to this endangered species and serve as an appeal for better protection of them.
