  On April 13, the reporter learned from the Animals and Plants Department of the Guizhou Forestry Bureau that the female monkey "Xiao Fan" (G047) of the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Guizhou Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve Administration gave birth to a cub. It is reported that this is the third baby Golden Snub-nosed Monkey successfully bred by the center since 2018.

  At present, the number of captive-raised Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys is very small, except for 5 at the Fanjingshan Wildlife Rescue Center, and only 5 at the Beijing Zoo. The golden snub-nosed monkey can only give birth once every two years, and artificial breeding is extremely difficult. Since its establishment, the first-aid center has successfully bred "Jianjian" in April 2018, and "Kangkang" in April 2020, "Jianjian" and "Kangkang" are all males.

  In order to ensure that the monkey mother "Xiao Fan" recovers as soon as possible after childbirth and can secrete sufficient milk to feed the cubs, scientific researchers have prepared a rich and scientific "confinement meal" for "Xiao Fan" and arranged for special personnel to observe and monitor the monkey mother and the monkey baby for 24 hours to ensure the health of the mother and child.

  Known as the "only child of the earth", the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey is only distributed in the Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou, is a national first-class protected animal, is the flagship species of the ecological diversity protection of Fanjingshan, and is a rarer "national treasure" than the giant panda.

  In 2022, Guo Fa No. 2 clearly stated that it is necessary to study the establishment of Fanjingshan National Park and implement the rescue and protection project of rare and endangered wild animals and plants such as the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. The successful breeding of the third baby monkey by the rescue center is one of the important achievements of the Fanjingshan Administration in the field of animal population breeding and conservation ecological construction, indicating that through years of intensive research, the ex situ protection of rare animals in Fanjingshan has become increasingly mature, laying a solid foundation for the protection and rescue of extremely small species such as the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.

  Excellent ecological environment is guizhou's biggest development advantage and competitive advantage. In recent years, Guizhou has promoted the "big ecology" strategic action in depth, strengthened biodiversity conservation throughout the territory, and after integration and optimization, there are 313 various types of nature reserves in Guizhou, including 11 national nature reserves, 154 species (categories) of wildlife under national key protection under forestry jurisdiction, and 159 species (categories) of wild plants under key protection, and the richness of biodiversity ranks among the top in the country.

  At present, Guizhou is accelerating the construction of a natural protected area system with national parks as the main body and accelerating the construction of an ecological civilization pilot zone. The Provincial Forestry Bureau will devote itself to the ex-situ protection of rare wild animals such as the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, artificial population expansion and other rescue protection work, providing strong support for the creation of Fanjingshan National Park.
