From Snow Peaks to Tropical Rainforests: Yunnan’s Biodiversity Hotspot
In short: Explore the diverse landscapes of Yunnan, a region home to thousands of species. This documentary journey captures the delicate balance of China's wild ecosystems and the rare animals fighting to survive within them.
Spanning a wide area, the programme journeys between northern Shangri La's icy peaks and the southern tropical region of Xishuangbanna. This variety supports a massive biological diversity, including approximately 6,000 plant species, 200 mammals, and 500 bird species.
The show features famous threatened animals including the black-necked crane, red pandas, wild Asian elephants, white-handed gibbons, and the black snub-nosed monkey.
