Last year, images of the northern tour of the yunnan wild elephant herd attracted heated attention online. The herd of elephants traveled all the way north, and everyone followed in their footsteps, feeling the healing power from the unity and mutual assistance of the elephant herd.

In the end, the wild elephant herd returned safely to the south under the careful care and guidance of the government and the people. The story of protecting endangered Asian elephants has warmed many people.

Speaking of which, presumably some netizens will ask:

Where are China's magical animals?

The $113,000 prize invites you to find fantastic beasts together

In Yunnan!

Because of the species resources of Yunnan

It's too rich!!!

The small class is the focus

1. Yunnan's diverse climatic types and complex topography have bred a variety of biological species, dense forests and plant species, and provided a good ecological environment for various animals to survive and reproduce.

2. Yunnan, known as the "kingdom of animals and plants", accounts for only 4.1% of the country's land area, but has the largest number of ecosystem types and biological species in the country, and the number of species in various groups is close to or more than half of the country.

3. Listed as a first- and second-class protected animal and endangered species by the state, Yunnan accounts for more than half.

4, Yunnan is also the continent where new species have been found the most, it is no exaggeration to say that every one or two weeks, you can see or hear new species published in Yunnan.

Hundreds of protected animals, including Asian elephants, Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys, red pandas, hornbills and green peacocks, inhabit 16 national nature reserves such as Ailao Mountain, Dali Cangshan Erhai and Xishuangbanna. Man and nature live in harmony here, forming a protective net of the unity of nature and man, and there may be undiscovered "little cuteness" in hidden corners.

No, in the national video works of "Elephant Land, Light and Shadow Yunnan", which is being collected, there are many "little cute" figures.

Let's take a look.
