Our reporter Yang Ling (reporter Sun Jianheng) recently, when sorting out the infrared camera data, the staff of Guanyinshan National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi found several photos and videos of giant pandas moving in the Qinling Giant Panda Corridor. This is the second time since 2015 that the infrared camera has captured the image of the activities of giant pandas in the corridor within the Guanyinshan nature reserve.

These precious photos and videos were taken by the infrared camera of position 8 in the Qinling Giant Panda Corridor. The camera image data shows that the photos and videos were taken on March 15, 2022. It is a healthy giant panda that wandered here and left after a short stay. The giant panda activity area of Qinling arrow bamboo grows well and the terrain is flat. This point is about 600m away from the abandoned National Highway 108 above the Qinling tunnel, which once again proves that giant pandas can make good use of the habitat in the corridor to move freely.

Guanyinshan National Nature Reserve is located in the center of Qinling giant panda reserve group and is the link between Qinling giant panda Xinglong Mountain and Tianhua mountain population. Since 2005, Guanyinshan Nature Reserve has taken advantage of the favorable opportunity of the completion and opening of the Qinling Tunnel of national highway 108 to strengthen the construction and management of the giant panda corridor belt of the Qinling tunnel, strictly control the vehicles and personnel entering the area, restore the giant panda habitat, build wildlife passages, support the community to develop sustainable economy, strengthen public publicity and education, and continue to carry out field monitoring. The habitat environment of wild animals has been significantly improved, Effective results have been achieved in the construction and management of corridor belt. The population of giant pandas and their associated animals has increased steadily, and the range of activities in the corridor zone has expanded significantly.

In addition to giant pandas, field monitoring also found a large number of activity traces of associated animals, and infrared cameras also took photos and videos of leopards, golden monkeys, antelopes, impala, hyenas and other national first and second level key protected animals.
