InXizang | Twenty-five years of love: Tibetan Grandpa guards wild macaques

LHASA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Linze Village in Gongbo'Gyamda County is a well-known habitat of the Tibetan macaque, a national second-class protected animal.

Since serving as a forest ranger around the year of 2000, Tobgye has voluntarily taken on the responsibility of protecting the Tibetan macaques during his mountain patrols.

His kindness to the macaques touched the villagers of Linze Village, who cleaned up the areas where the Tibetan macaques often occur, so as to prevent them from mistakenly eating garbage.

The Tibetan macaque families thrive, with more than 7,000 of them inhabiting here at present.
