Chinese media have reported that China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is protecting flora and fauna using a smart wildlife protection system.


According to Amac News: This intelligent system uses modern information technology such as satellite tracking systems, infrared cameras, drones, video surveillance devices, remote sensing equipment, and video surveillance equipment, and remote sensing equipment.
According to People's Daily Online, Xinjiang, a region in China known for its rich biodiversity, is home to more than 700 species of wild vertebrates, of which 178 key wild animals are under national protection.
Ma Ming, a researcher at the Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that infrared cameras have become necessary to monitor and research wild animals without disturbing them.
According to Ming, in addition to technological tools on the ground, satellites and drones have also become part of Xinjiang's wildlife protection system.
Xinjiang Lup Noor Wild Camel National Nature Reserve has established an integrated space-air-ground monitoring system consisting of satellites, drones and ground monitoring facilities to track and monitor western wild camels, a species under China's first-class national protection.
Experts from China's National Banded Bird Center have installed satellite tracking devices on birds to understand and study migration patterns, distribution, seasonal movement, and population structure in Boston Lake in Xinjiang, an important migratory bird habitat in China.
In recent years, Xinjiang has accelerated the construction of its intelligent wildlife protection system. The Regional Forestry and Pasture Office has signed strategic cooperation agreements with the Xinjiang branches of China Telecom and China Mobile to promote the application of advanced technologies in various fields.
