The species that drove the creation of Imawbum National Park, the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), is critically endangered with only 260-330 individuals in the area. [4] Their high-elevation forest habitat was threatened by encroachment from logging , which prompted the creation of a conservation area to protect their ...
