VOV.VN -The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey, listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, has a local population of around 160 individuals in the Khau Ca forest in Tuyen Quang province.

While unprecedented environmental challenges threatening the health and lives of millions of people around the world are ringing alarm bells for human behaviour towards the nature, Vietnam is home to a primeval forest described as a “big school” that has helped spread the love for nature for the past nearly six decades.

The People’s Committee of Ha Giang and Fauna & Flora International (FFI) Vietnam on July 21 signed a memorandum of understanding on the conservation of the endangered Tonkin snub-nosed monkey and flora species in this northernmost province during 2022 - 2027.
