They are often spotted in the 200-square km karst hills between the Zuojiang and Mingjiang rivers in the city of Chongzuo, south China's Guangxi. In the 1980s, the population of the species dropped to some 300 due to decades of deforestation, land reclamation and poaching. To rescue the endangered primate species, in 2005, a regional-level nature reserve to protect the rare langurs was established in Chongzuo, and later it was upgraded into a national reserve. Through the past decade, the forest coverage of the reserve has risen from 70 percent to 86 percent. Currently, the population of the species has increased to over 1,

The naked carp, known as "Huangyu" in China, is endemic to Qinghai Lake. The fish is not only critical to the existence of local bird species, but also to the ecological balance of the highland lake. Due to overfishing and environmental deterioration, the population of naked carp declined sharply in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2002, Qinghai Lake only had 2,592 tonnes of naked carp. In order to protect the species and restore the environment, the province banned naked carp fishing in Qinghai Lake and nearby rivers in 2003. Qinghai has also closed the lake six

The afforestation has curbed the expansion of the desert.
