Not far from a wildlife protection camp deep in the Qiangtang National Nature Reserve, a wolf on Friday attacked a pregnant Tibetan antelope among a migrating herd, leaving wounds in her stomach and neck. At the sight of the antelope struggling in the snow, several rangers carried her back to the camp for rescue. Unfortunately, her belly was slashed open and internal organs were damaged beyond cure. The rangers had no other choice but to sew up her belly and send her back to the wild, where she was found dead the next morning.

Wild Thuja sutchuenensis is an endangered species of gymnosperm endemic to China and under national first-class protection. In 1998, the International Union for Conservation of Nature declared Thuja sutchuenensis extinct, but the species was rediscovered in Chengkou County in 1999. At present, the number of wild adult Thuja sutchuenensis plants in the world is less than 10,000, and they are only distributed in the areas of Daba Mountains including Kaizhou District and Chengkou County of Chongqing. In order to protect this endangered species, Yang Quan from Chongqing Xuebaoshan national nature reserve led a team to carry out the investigation and study of wild Thuja sutchuenensis communities, hoping to expand its population. Through years of efforts, the research team chose to take cuttings
