Around 550,000 Chinese sturgeons were released into the Yangtze River to mark Chinese Sturgeon Protection Day. Known as "aquatic pandas," these 140-million-year-old fish suffered a sharp population decline due to human activities. China has strengthened conservation through artificial breeding and releases, which have exceeded 1 million annually since 2024, effectively replenishing wild populations.
