This project is designed to (1) check the richness and population of primates, and (2) specify the threats to the primate community at Nankang, Mt Gaoligong, P. R. China.
Seven primate species are reported at Nankang, a site of about 34 km2 between Nature Reserves of Xiaoheishan and Gaoligongshan. That so many primate species occur in such a small area is the only case known in China. The site is managed as a habitat corridor (NC) by the reserves. This project is designed to:
(1) check the richness and population of primates;
(2) specify the threats to the primate community.
This is a pioneer work for site-specific conservation efforts, and for further studies on the little known species in the world and their community.
