Who has some of the lager groups of golden Snub-nosed monkeys?

Who has some of the lager groups of golden Snub-nosed monkeys?

The golden Snub-nosed monkeys at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo are housed in family groups across several distinct exhibition areas, so the group size observable within the zoo is not particularly large.

Do you have some information on how many golden snub-nosed monkeys Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo hold?

Be nice also to know a little more about their current status in captivity in other PR of China zoos...! I remember awhile back someone saying that the breeding program ex situ was attempting to stabilise numbers. The recent exports to Europe from 2 different zoos and original source populations in captivity indicate that the number is growing in PR of China zoos and that the captive population is sufficiently robust to enable even individuals to be exported overseas!!!

There is currently no official figure for the number of captive snub-nosed monkeys in China by 2025. The most recent data I have is from 2023, when 58 zoos and various institutions were keeping 648 Golden Snub-nosed monkeys. Regarding Black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Yunnan Snub-nosed Monkeys) and Gray snub-nosed monkeys (Guizhou Snub-nosed Monkeys), the number of captive individuals and those publicly displayed is very small. However, a new Gray snub-nosed monkey conservation center is nearing completion, which is a positive sign considering their wild population is less than four figures.(PS: As for the Myanmar Snub-nosed Monkey, there are currently no captive individuals on public display in zoos in China. They can only be seen in conservation stations or in the wild.)

The total number of golden snub-nosed monkeys across Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo's exhibition areas, off-exhibit holding facilities, and Gaochun Branch Zoo is approximately 30 to 34 individuals, divided into five family groups.

Additionally, the three Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys sent to France came from Shanghai Wildlife Animal Park, which currently has the largest population of Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys in China: over 80 individuals.

I think the Shanghai WAP holds the subspecific Qingling group of the golden snub-nosed monkeys, if I am correct!

This also more or less corresponds to the fact that also giant pandas of the Qingling Mountains constitute a separate genetic lineage within the giant panda populations of PR of China!!!
