On April 11, 2025, two Chinese geographical wonders were added to the UNESCO Global Geopark list.
Particularly noteworthy is Yunyang Geopark in Chongqing, 1 extraordinary prehistoric “dinosaur kingdom”.
Yunyang’s story began with a significant moment in 2014: a local youth’s accidental discovery of dinosaur
bones sparked years of excavation. These efforts revealed the world’s largest Jurassic fossil wall, 2
measures 150 meters in length and 6 — 10 meters in height. Scientists 3 (astonish) when: calculating its
dimensions.
Spanning 1,124 km2, the geopark combines two treasures: abundant dinosaur fossils 4 breathtaking
karst landscapes. The fossils found here are 5 (global) significant, and these 6 (remain) bridge
gaps in our understanding of how dinosaurs adapted to their ever-changing environments.
Today, Yunyang serves as not just a site of study but a living museum. By combining scientific conservation
with cultural tourism, it is bringing dinosaur culture 7 life through cutting-edge technology like VR and AR.
These innovations aim 8 (engage) people of all ages, making the 165-million-year-old heritage both 9
(access) and thrilling.
With these additions, China now leads the world with 49 UNESCO geoparks. This achievement reflects not
only the country’s geological pride but also its enormous devotion to 10 (preserve) Earth’s natural and
cultural legacy for future generations.

The Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park spans an area of over 14,000 square kilometres in the
provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang. It is one of 1 (China) first five national parks announced in 2021.
2 (lie) in the temperate forest area of Northeast China, the national park is home 3 the only
breeding population of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards in the country. Since it opened, conservation groups
including WWF-China have begun planting over 30,000 trees like oak and pine to create an even more 4
(suit) living space, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of these two rare species.
The park uses a smart system 5 (equip) with satellites, drones, and cameras to watch over the tigers
and leopards. From November 2021 to June 2022, researchers collected 13,910 images and videos of their activity.
Images of four individual tigers (one male and three females) 6 (identify) across 45% of the total sites
monitored. The four were familiar faces to researchers and had been photographed before, indicating the 7
(stable) of the site as a habitat for the species.
Through a series of conservation measures, the population of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards has
increased. In 2010 there were no more than 20 wild Amur tigers in China, most of 8 had crossed the
border from Russia. Thanks to joint efforts from global communities, 9 number has grown to about 70.
Now, the park is working

(close) with the Russian side to ensure that the tigers and leopards have
large, continuous, and expansive habitats for their living and reproduction.

Thanks to advances in animal tracking technology, one can match with a wild animal and track its
movements through Chinalife’s bracelet by scanning the accompanying QR code.
In addition to tracking the movements of wild animals, digital adoption programs provide 1
unique opportunity to form a virtual bond with them. 2 just a few clicks, anyone can adopt a wolf, koala,
or red panda, even if he or she is miles away. These virtual “mamas” are also offered a chance 3 (see)
their babies offline.
Since 2022, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo has launched a “virtual adoption” program
4
individuals, families, and even companies can adopt animals through a mini-program. Participants can interact
with their 5 (choose) animals, learn about their habits, and support their protection — all from home.
Currently, these innovative digital programs, ranging from tracking the 6 (journey) of wildlife to
virtual adoption, 7 (bridge) the gap between humans and animals. Through these 8 (create)
initiatives, individuals are not only gaining insights into animal behaviors, but are also actively participating in
conservation efforts 9 advancing research in the field.
Meanwhile, the collected animal tracking data serves as a valuable resource and foundation for scientific
research. All wildlife conservation ultimately comes down to habitat protection. In this process, animals’ data can

China launched a nationwide initiative to tag (标记) and protect ancient trees as green national treasures.
The move came 1 effect on March 15, 2025. According to the regulations, ancient trees are those 2
are over 100 years old. Ancient trees, which hold historical or cultural 3 (important), play a crucial role
in biodiversity and ecological sustainability.
A national survey 4 (conduct) from 2015 to 2021 identified 5.08 million ancient trees in China,
246,600 of which are in urban areas. The survey results showed that 5 majority of China’s ancient trees
are aged between 100 and 299 years, 6 (total) 987,500. There are 160,300 trees aged between 300 and
499 years and 68,200 trees are over 500 years old, which include 10,745 trees over 1,000 years and, five trees over
5,000 years.
Regarding the trees’conditions, 157,700 7 (consider) weak, 26,300 are endangered and 8
(slight) over one million trees are normal, according to the survey.
The nation’s regulations permit limited 9 (science) and cultural use of these resources, such as
genetic (基因的) studies and eco-tourism, provided the trees’ health is not affected.
Authorities will conduct more national surveys

For Chen Honghan, a student from Nizhuhe Village in Xuanwei, Yunnan, the dangerous three-hour
mountain hike to school has been replaced by a safe 30-minute journey thanks to the “cloud school bus”.
Nizhuhe Village, situated deep in the mountains, was once linked to Wanquan Primary School by a
