Meng Yuning, a young man who was born in the 1980s, has guarded white-headed langurs for 19 years at the Bapen Nature Reserve since 2004.

White-headed langur, characterized by the white hair on their heads, is one of the world's most endangered primate species and is under first-class national protection of China.

To protect the langurs, Meng and his colleagues patrol the nature reserve everyday. They also undertake other works such as protecting other local species and collecting plant material for research.

In recent years, the population of white-headed langur in the Bapen Nature Reserve gradually increased. The nature reserve has become the most concentrated area for the langurs to reproduce.
