At Guangxi Chongzuo White-Headed Langur National Nature Reserve, researchers scour the mountains daily for monkey droppings, an important resource in protecting this endangered species.
According to researchers, analyzing fecal samples reveals the gut microbiome composition across langur groups, which directly monitors the population and health. When findings indicate disrupted diets or elevated stress hormones, the reserve takes action: establishing monkey-viewing boundaries, amplifying visitor education, or adjusting habitat management.
Thanks to science-led conservation efforts, the langur population, once critically endangered with just 300 individuals in the 1980s, now thrives with over 1,400 individuals.
