A comprehensive survey of wildlife resources in the central and eastern Tianshan Mountains of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has recently concluded, according to local authorities.
The survey aimed to establish an initial general picture of the region’s rich biodiversity, documenting wild animals and plants and creating a foundational dataset for future conservation efforts.
The Tianshan Mountains, renowned for their stunning landscapes and diverse habitats, are home to numerous species, some of which are rare or endangered. The recent survey has identified several such species, providing valuable insights into their habitats and populations.
Local environmental officials emphasized that with this comprehensive data, they can better protect the wildlife and their natural habitats, ensuring the sustainability of the region’s ecosystems.
The survey’s findings are expected to aid in the development of targeted conservation initiatives and promote sustainable development in Xinjiang’s mountainous regions. Moreover, the data will serve as a valuable reference for academics and researchers studying the area’s ecological dynamics.
