π A conservation milestone in China's Helan Mountains!
For the first time, a reintroduced female snow leopard has successfully raised a wild-born cub, proving that the species can complete an entire reproductive cycle in the wild and helping bring the reserve's tracked snow leopard population to nine.
This achievement reflects years of ecological restoration, with blue sheep populations rising from just over 1,500 in 1983 to more than 41,000 in 2023, paving the way for snow leopards and other wildlife to return. @NingxiaCN@ENingxia@DiscoverNingxia
@zwai_ndimba Because the people talked the team listened. You are not bigger than the game, remember that. This is the message in the Springboks camp, we are accountable to the people back home!
@icomentseries These lines makes me lean into the panel referencing Pride and Prejudice, where Darcy is too proud and it was a misunderstanding or miscommunication that almost doomed the relationship. I'm pretty sure these 2 are in it for the long haul, a very honest and sincere couple.
