The project is launched particularly
for saving the species peculiar to China; critically
endangered species, and those quantities of population
decreasing dramatically. The list mainly includes
the Giant Panda, Crested Ibis, Tiger, Golden-haired
Monkey, Tibet Antelope, Chinese Alligator, Asiatic
Elephant, Gibbon, Musk-deer, P-gazelle, Deer, Cranes,
Pheasants and Cycas, and Orchidaceous plants. By
implementing some 15 rescuing projects, the threats
toward the wildlife will be removed and these specific
population groups will move out of endangered constraint.

Giant
Panda--Giant Panda is a rare animal indigenous
to China, being mainly distributed in parts of
Sichuan, Shannxi and Gansu Provinces. According
to survey, there are about
1,000 Pandas living in the wild and 110 raised
domestically. The project will focus on the infrastructure
and the management of nature reserves together
with developing some experimental research in
helping Giant Panda breeding.
Crested
Ibis--- Crested Ibis is a world-famous bird
species in imminent danger. Based on the previous
efforts and achievement of protection, further
steps will be taken to restore 2,000 ha of natural
wetlands for hunting food. In addition,2 or 3
staging and breeding habitats will be built, making
a new nature reserve with a total area of
200,000 ha.
Tiger―There
are 4 tiger sub-species living in China, namely
the Siberia Tiger, South China Tiger, Bangladesh
Tiger, and Indian Tiger. Unfortunately, their
population number in the wild is no more than
100. The objectives of the project are to complete
the construction of 15 nature reserves, to establish
10 new nature reserves, and to rehabilitate the
living areas for tiger.
