Step into the vibrant world of Yunnan Province’s rainforests – where conservation meets adventure! Nestled in southwest China, this ecological paradise is home to rare wildlife, buzzing insects, and lush greenery that captivates scientists and travelers alike.
Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan’s western gem, boasts tropical-subtropical climates perfect for fostering biodiversity. Think misty valleys, sun-drenched forests, and a symphony of creatures from giant mammals to jewel-toned beetles.
Local governments aren’t just admiring the scenery – they’re taking action. By 2025, they aim to:
Reach 72.5% forest coverage
Achieve 80% grassland vegetation
Protect 60% of wetlands
Safeguard 92% of key wildlife species
Thanks to these efforts, Dehong is becoming a sanctuary where even the tiniest insects thrive. Researchers call it a 'living lab' for understanding ecosystems, while travelers rave about its untouched beauty.
So, whether you’re a biology student, a nature influencer, or just love a good jungle vibe – Yunnan’s rainforests are calling. (Cover design credit: CGTN’s Liu Shaozhen and Zhu Shangfan)
