On February 11, in the Laohegou area of the Giant Panda National Park in Pingwu, Mianyang, Sichuan, when staff were sorting out infrared camera materials, they discovered that the infrared camera deployed at the Heigou point captured the activities of wild giant pandas on January 15 this year. Staff at the Laohegou Conservation Center in Taohuayuan said this is the first time an image of a wild giant panda has been captured at the Heigou Salt Well in Laohegou.
Red Star News reporters saw that the video was taken at 5:08 a.m. on January 15, 2023. A wild giant panda with a round body and a chubby body first walked towards the camera in a cute manner, walked to the camera and stayed in front of it to "check in", then walked away from the camera, walked out of the infrared camera lens, and slowly left.
According to reports, Pingwu has always adhered to the combination of protection and development, and the ecological environment is getting better and better. A total of 153 infrared cameras have been deployed in the Laohegou area of the Giant Panda National Park. Effective measures such as grid management, the combination of three-level patrol systems, and mobilizing communities to form spontaneously managed protected areas have achieved remarkable results in biodiversity protection.
