These rare and precious images from the dense forests of the park allow more people to witness the movements of giant pandas, gain a deeper understanding of the national park, and appreciate the significance and achievements of its construction.

Beyond giant pandas, the park is also home to Sichuan takins, golden snub-nosed monkeys, green-tailed pheasants, snow leopards, red pandas, tufted deer, and many other species. These animals, full of life and energy, roam freely in their natural habitat. The vibrant scenes captured by the cameras resemble living ecological paintings, showcasing the biodiversity and environmental balance of the Chengdu Section.

Since the establishment of the Giant Panda National Park, the Chengdu Section has been continuously enhancing its smart monitoring system. With technological advancements, wildlife protection has entered a new era of precision and intelligence. Over 600 infrared cameras and 50 video surveillance points monitor wildlife activity around the clock. More than 150 real-time transmission devices enable "video calls" with giant pandas. Four environmental monitoring stations and an integrated ecological surveillance platform provide real-time updates on forest conditions. These innovations significantly enhance the effectiveness of conservation efforts, ensuring more comprehensive and meticulous protection for wildlife.

The development of an integrated "sky-ground-human" intelligent monitoring system provides strong technological support for wildlife surveillance and protection, driving scientific management and sustainable development in the Chengdu Section of the Giant Panda National Park. Moving forward, the Chengdu Section will continue to expand and refine its smart monitoring system, strengthening protection and research on rare wildlife. In this sanctuary of life, where conservation meets scientific innovation, every living being is safeguarded, preserving the harmony and beauty of nature.
