Gaoligongshan mountains, where about 17 percent of China's higher plants species, 30 percent of mammal species and over 35 percent of birds species are found, is an important showcase of the country's biodiversity protection. In 2011, the Nujiang Golden Monkey, the fifth golden monkey species in the world, was also found here.
