'SHIJIAZHUANG — Wandering on snow, a North China Leopard quietly approached,
gazed at the infrared camera and opened wide its mouth, exposing its sharp
teeth.
These dramatic visuals were captured by the camera installed at the Tuoliang
national nature reserve in North China's Hebei province. From November 2022 to
February 2023, the species were captured more than 10 times by the cameras in
the reserve.
This breed of leopard, also known as the Chinese Leopard, is under first-class
national protection in China.
In recent years, the endangered species has been repeatedly spotted in their
traditional habitats in Hebei Province thanks to the conservation efforts in
the region.
"The frequent appearance of the leopard indicates that the ecosystem is
improving, with stable biodiversity," said Li Jianping, deputy director of the
management center of the reserve.
Li went on to add that the reserve is now home to nearly 40 species of wild
animals under China's first or second-class national protection, with wild
boars, foxes, deer and hares more commonly seen.
"More trees and grass have led to increased wild animals, resulting in a more
complete food chain," said Li, adding that the leopards now are having more
prey.
Hebei Province, neighboring Beijing, is the only province in China with
plateau, mountain, hill, plain, lake, seashore and desert landforms. The
province has intensified efforts to control environmental pollution and
promoted green and low-carbon transformation, with the ecological environment
constantly improving and enriching biodiversity.'
