Conservation


Laojun Mountain region is a biodiversity hotspot.[1][3] Laojun Mountain has over 170 species of macrofungi (mushrooms),[4] about 10% of all rhododendrons in the world, and it is one of the few remaining places where the endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti) can be found.[2]In 2015, TNC established a conservancy program on the mountain, in Liju village, concerning the animal. It offers business opportunities and training to local residents, to provide alternatives to poaching and logging, in order to protect the monkeys.[5]
