LUSHUI, July 12 (Xinhua) — Gaoligongshan Mountains, where about 17 percent of China’s higher plants species, 30 percent of mammal species and over 35 percent of birds species are found, are an important showcase of the country’s biodiversity protection. In 2011, the Nujiang Golden Monkey, the fifth golden monkey species in the world, was also found here.
He Guipin, a ranger of the Lushui branch of the Gaoligongshan national nature reserve, has been doing the work for 28 years, during which he patrols the forest, prevents the forest fire, and combats with illegal loggers and hunters.
In the protection of rangers like He Guipin, the ecological environment of the nature reserve has been improved gradually, and over 600 new animal and plant species have been discovered here since 1980.
“That’s the meaning of our work,” said He Guipin, “Although the work is tough, we protect these precious species. Our happiest moment is chatting with colleagues after a long patrol journey.”
