Project to protect rare Burmese monkey gets new funding

A conservation project to help protect the rare Burmese snub-nosed monkey is one of 33 to get a share of UK Government funding.

The species was photographed for the first time last year.

The project, led by Fauna and Flora International (FFI), will try to establish how many of the monkeys are left and how best to protect them.

The money comes from a long-term scheme called the Darwin Initiative.
