An infrared camera in Hubei's Duheyuan National Nature Reserve recently captured a heartwarming scene of a Chinese goral mother strolling and foraging with her cub. The mother remained vigilant while her curious cub explored the surrounding habitat.
The Chinese goral is a nationally protected species, classified as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. These agile animals thrive in steep mountain terrains, but their populations are dwindling, making ongoing conservation efforts essential.
Conservationists emphasize the importance of preserving the natural habitats of the Chinese goral to ensure their survival. Protecting these areas not only benefits the goral but also maintains the ecological balance of the region.
