Would You Name a Baby Monkey? China’s Fanjingshan Reserve Needs Your Help!
Meet the newest resident of Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province: a baby grey snub-nosed monkey born on March 21! Her parents, Fanfan and Tiantian – both rescued from the wild – are now proud guardians of this tiny, fuzzy miracle. But she needs a name!
Meet the Parents 

Fanfan and Tiantian arrived at the rescue center after surviving injuries in the wild. Their story highlights the importance of conservation – and now their healthy baby girl (yes, it’s a girl! ) symbolizes hope for this critically endangered species.
Why This Matters 
- Only ~800 grey snub-nosed monkeys remain worldwide
- Found ONLY in Fanjingshan’s mountain forests (500-2,000m elevation)
- China’s top protected species since 1989
- Listed as Endangered by IUCN since 2008
Your Mission: Submit creative name ideas for this rare primate via the reserve’s website. Who knows? Your suggestion could become part of conservation history!
