Thirty-nine troops of Sichuan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) with 3, 800-4, 000 individuals were estimated to inhabit Qinling Mountains, China. Among the various human impacts on this species, deforestation as a result of the spread of agriculture, commercial logging and fuel wood collection, and increased poaching as the human population of the region increases, are all major problems. Under the current conditions, the future of the species is insecure. The current status of the species is outlined, as are the problems that they face, and countermeasures for their conservation are proposed. These countermeasures should include law enforcement, public education, improved forestry policy, the establishment of nature reserves, control of the human population, research, management of buffer zones, and ecotourism.
