CHONGZUO, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The white-headed langur is one of the world's most endangered primate species and exclusive to China.
The endangered animal, characterized by the white hair on their heads, are spotted in the karst hills between the Zuojiang and Mingjiang rivers in the city of Chongzuo, Guangxi.
In the 1980s, the population of white-headed langur dwindled to some 300 due to deforestation, land reclamation and poaching.
Now the population of the animal has increased to around 1,400.
