Li Xin (L) and Wang Yongman, both staff members of the Jinfo Mountain National Nature Reserve administration, install an infrared camera at the reserve in Nanchuan District, southwest China's Chongqing, Sept. 23, 2025.

Covering a total area of over 40,000 hectares, Jinfo Mountain National Nature Reserve is home to more than 4,016 vascular plants and 465 species of vertebrates.

An ecological monitoring network has been established here by the reserve administration in recent years to protect and research on rare species such as cathay silver fir and Francois' leaf monkeys, both under national key protection.

Through tech empowerment, the number of Francois' leaf monkey in the reserve has risen from around 150 in 2015 to more than 180 to date. The survival rate of artificially propagated seedlings of cathay silver fir has increased from less than 10 percent to over 80 percent. (Xinhua/Tang Yi)
