Infrared cameras in nature reserves in Shiyan, central China's Hubei Province, are capturing a growing variety of wildlife – clear evidence of improving ecosystems. In Saiwudang Nature Reserve, species ranging from civets, serows and macaques to black bears and leopard cats, are thriving across protected areas. For the first time, cameras at Bagua Mountain Provincial Reserve recorded the endangered forest musk deer. Experts say the frequent sightings, stable populations and richer biodiversity is indicate of effective, sustained conservation efforts and a steadily improving habitat across Shiyan's protected areas.
