CHINA-HUBEI-SHISHOU-MILU DEER-CONSERVATION (CN)
(230807) -- SHISHOU, Aug. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Ranger Wang Chuanjun fixes a humanly broken fence at Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in central China's Hubei Province, Aug. 1, 2023. Milu deer at Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve mate between June and August every year, during which the males fight each other for the privilege to stay together with as many females as they wish. To ensure a safe and tranquil environment for their reproduction, rangers here have been spending more time and efforts patrolling the nature reserve during this period.
After years of efforts by protectors and continuous improvement of the local ecological environment, the population of milu deer at the nature reserve has increased rapidly, nearing 2,000 to date. There are more than 10 naturally formed breeding groups in varying sizes among these milu deer, and more baby milu deer are expected to come to the world after mating season this year.
