The 3,000-meter mountain range is scattered with firs in southwest China's Minshan Mountains. However, in this bad year, pest infestations became widespread among the firs while piles of deadwood have fallen. In the forest, every tree matters, as it can either be home to a bird, or a landmark for the giant panda to seek its partners. Now, this wildlife sanctuary faces a new crisis.

About Journeys in Nature: Minshan Mountains Series

Minshan Mountains are a mountain range lying at the borders of China's Sichuan and Gansu provinces. Most of the mountains have steep walls and sharp peaks. In this series, CGTN Nature's filming crew went into the mountain range located in Sichuan, which is also a part of the Giant Panda National Park in China. They traveled through the dense forest and crossed the rapids to capture the scene of stunning nature and fairy-like animals. Stay tuned!
