Project Manager – Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey
The FFI Programme in Vietnam is implementing projects to conserve Western black-crested gibbons at Mu Cang Chai Species & Habitat Conservation Area of Yen Bai province and Muong La Nature Reserve of Son La province, Tonkin snub-nosed monkeys at Khau Ca Species & Habitat Conservation Area and Quan Ba district of Ha Giang province, Cao Vit gibbons at Trung Khanh Species & Habitat Conservation Area of Cao Bang province, Cat Ba langurs at Cat Ba National Park of Hai Phong City, Delacour langurs at Kim Bang forest of Ha Nam province, Northern white-cheeked gibbons at Pu Mat National Park of Nghe An province, and Grey shanked douc at Kon Plong forest of Kon Tum province. In Ha Giang, FFI has been working since 2003 to conserve Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus avunculus). This species is one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world (Mittermeier et al., 2012), it is also listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Critically Endangered (IUCN, 2013). With the population likely resting at fewer than 200 individuals, recent surveys indicate that potentially the only breeding populations reside in the Tung Vai Protection Forest, which hosts a population of around 21 individuals, and at Khau Ca Species & Habitat Conservation Area (SHCA), which supports a population of around 117 - 121 individuals (FFI unpublished data, 2017). FFI’s on-going interventions to conserve these two breeding populations include improvement of forest patrol efforts through 6 Community Conservation Team (CCT) members at Khau Ca and 10 CCT members at Tung Vai, development of proposed new protected area in Tung Vai, development of habitat corridor between Khau Ca and Du Gia, improvement of species monitoring, improvement of local livelihood and raising awareness, and improvement of collaborative management of protected area through Management Advisory Committees (MACs).
