Golden Monkey in the Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
A Golden Monkey in the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda in August 2016. The Golden Monkey (Cercopithecus kandti) was once thought to be a subspecies of the Sykes Monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis) along with the Blue Monkey (Cercopithecus mitis) and the Silver Monkey (Cercopithecus doggetti) but all are now classified as separate species. Golden Monkeys are found only in the Virunga volcanic mountains which straddle Rwanda, Burundi, Ugand and the DRC. The species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.. Neville Jones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of a Golden Monkey in the Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. Taken in August 2016 by Neville Jones, this image showcases the unique features and vibrant fur of this endangered species. Once believed to be a subspecies of the Sykes Monkey, along with the Blue Monkey and Silver Monkey, all three are now recognized as separate species. The Golden Monkeys can only be found in the Virunga volcanic mountains that stretch across Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. With its piercing eyes and expressive face framed by a bokeh background, this portrait highlights both the individuality and vulnerability of these remarkable creatures. As an Old World monkey native to Africa, they hold great significance within their ecosystem. Listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and poaching threats, every sighting becomes even more precious. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these majestic animals for future generations. Neville Jones' skillful capture not only showcases his talent but also raises awareness about conservation efforts needed to safeguard these incredible primates. Through his lens, we are invited into their world - one filled with curiosity and grace - urging us to appreciate nature's wonders while inspiring action towards their preservation.
