China's rare golden monkeys debut at European zoos, a possible successor to 'panda diplomacy'
"With their distinctive shaggy orange manes, pale blue faces and dense fur covering their hands and feet, it's hard to mistake China's endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys for any other animal. These rare and charismatic monkeys, unique to the frigid mountains of central China, have recently joined the country's famous pandas as furry envoys to zoos in Europe for the first time on loan for 10 years from the same government-overseen group that coordinates official panda exchanges."
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and requests donations to keep journalists speaking to both sides without paywalls. The outlet cites investigations such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. China's endangered golden snub-nosed monkeys, notable for shaggy orange manes and pale blue faces, have been loaned to European zoos for ten years by the same government-overseen group that manages panda exchanges. Some observers welcome scientific and conservation collaboration, while others express concerns about individual animal welfare during international transfers.
