The Daxiangling area of the Giant Panda National Park is home to three of the 33 groups of wild giant pandas. Affected by human activities for years, their habitats have been severely fragmented. The species prefers places with closed canopies and scattered bamboo. But due to deforestation, big trees with huge canopies no longer exist. Therefore, restoration and reconnection of their habitats have become priorities in conservation. What are the plans? What will the staff do? Check out the video to learn more.

About Journeys in Nature: Qionglai Mountains Series

Giant pandas were first discovered in the Qionglai Mountains in southwest China's Sichuan Province. There are more than 500 wild pandas living in the mountains now, but there are many other animals there too. In this series, you will see red pandas, sambar deer and Tibetan macaques. CGTN Nature takes you on a journey to track the pandas deep into the bamboo groves and uncover interesting stories with the locals.
