In the heart of Sichuan’s Baihe Nature Reserve, Tang Yulin walks the forest paths his father and grandfather once trod. As a third-generation forest ranger, his days are filled with the echoes of rustling leaves and the distant calls of golden monkeys. The work is tough—trekking steep terrains, braving harsh weather, and staying vigilant against poachers—but for Tang, it’s deeply rewarding.
“Every time I see the golden monkeys swinging freely among the trees, I feel a sense of accomplishment,” Tang shares. “It’s like I’m safeguarding a piece of our natural heritage.”
The golden monkeys of Sichuan, with their striking golden fur and elusive nature, are a symbol of the region’s rich biodiversity. Protecting them requires dedication and a deep connection to the land. Tang’s commitment has inspired others; more people are joining the efforts to ensure these magnificent creatures thrive for generations to come.
“Our community is growing,” Tang notes with a hopeful smile. “Together, we can make a difference in preserving this vibrant landscape.”
