A comprehensive scientific survey of Cangshan Mountain in Southwest China has, for the first time in more than 40 years, mapped the region's wildlife and ecological profile, confirming it as a key biodiversity hotspot, researchers said.
The three-year project covered nearly 1,000 square kilometers in Dali Bai autonomous prefecture, Yunnan province, and involved multiple research institutions. It is the most systematic study of the mountain since joint international expeditions in the 1980s, according to Zhong Mingchuan, a member of the research team and head of the Yunnan Academy of Forestry and Grassland.
