The China Pavilion at the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal, Canada is sharing China's efforts to protect its biodiversity.
The pavilion is hosting a picture exhibition, featuring endangered giant pandas and other vulnerable species in Sichuan Province. And scientists also share their reports with participants at the COP15 meeting.

"I'm really happy to see how China is protecting these two species," said one visitor who saw the pictures of giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys in the pavilion.
Sichuan is home to 1,387 wild giant pandas, accounting for almost 75 percent of the total population in China. To protect endangered species like the giant panda, Sichuan has established 530 nature reserves covering a total area of 120,000 square kilometers.

"We have presented the achievements and typical cases of biodiversity conservation in Sichuan to our international friends, which has caught the attention of many people. We are determined to share with the world more good examples of China's biodiversity conservation in the future," said Liu Yuanyue, a senior engineer at the Sichuan Academy of Eco-Environmental Sciences.
China established the Giant Panda National Park System Pilot Area in 2017, and officially designated the first group of national parks last year, including the Giant Panda National Park with 87.7 percent of its area located in Sichuan.
