Editing Snub-nosed monkey (section)

== Distribution and habitat ==
Snub-nosed monkeys live in [[Asia]], with a range covering southern [[China]] (especially [[Tibet Autonomous Region|Tibet]], [[Sichuan]], [[Yunnan]], and [[Guizhou]]) extending into the northern parts of [[Myanmar]] and [[Vietnam]]. Snub-nosed monkeys inhabit mountain forests up to elevations of more than {{cvt|4,000|m}}. In the winter, they move into the deeply secluded regions. Higher elevation areas are more remote and difficult for humans to access and utilize and other studies have found less [[deforestation]], more [[reforestation]] and [[afforestation]], less range contraction, and less extinction in topographically steep areas. All ''Rhinopithecus'' species inhabit primary forest and grid cells with tree cover ≥ 75% might constitute important potential habitat.<ref name="Nuchel">{{Cite journal |last1=Nüchel |first1=Jonas |last2=Bøcher |first2=Peder Klith |last3=Xiao |first3=Wen |last4=Zhu |first4=A-Xing |last5=Svenning |first5=Jens-Christian |display-authors=3 |date=2018-01-23 |title=Snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus): potential distribution and its implication for conservation |journal=Biodiversity and Conservation |volume=27 |issue=6 |pages=1517–1538 |doi=10.1007/s10531-018-1507-0 |issn=0960-3115 |pmc=6560942 |pmid=31258260 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
