The endangered species Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) have been
reported to increase in the Hongla Mountain National Nature Reserve, in Markam
County of the Tibet region. The population has increased from fewer than 400 in
1980s to nearly 800 at present. For the better protection of those species, the
local forest bureau has hired 10 full-time patrollers and 520 nearby villagers
as part-time forest guards. They guard
against fires in wildlife habitat, illegal hunting and other potential threats
and get 274.73 USD per month from the local government as salary.
