1. Giant Panda in Qinling Mountains
The Foping Animals Protective Zone lies in the heart of the Qinling Mountains and is among the areas with the densest population of giant pandas. It is probably the last paradise for this rare and beautiful animal. Professor Yong Yange, the panda specialist in the protective zone, has been researching in this area for three decades and known as the "closest human friend of giant pandas". Mr. Zhang Anxin, an ordinary villager in the Shanguanmiao Village, was born and grew up in this isolated place where there are no highway electricity supply. They lead a peaceful and easy life for decades and are called the "people living with giant pandas". Recently however they decide to move…
2. The Rhinopithechs Bieti
The rhinopithechs bieti is a rare species only found in China and was first discovered by French zoologist Milne-Edwards along the border of Yuannan and Tibet in 1897. In the following century it increasingly aroused interests from both home and abroad but nobody has ever approached them so closely like this time. The real life and habitats of the rhinopithechs bieti has been thus exposed to the ordinary audiences for the first time thanks to the three years' great endeavors of the scientists and camera crew.
3. Birds that Return-the Crested lbis
The crested ibis, used to abound in China, Japan, Korea and South Siberia, has become an international protected rare bird today due to many reasons. There were merely five domesticated crested ibis in Japan by 1981 and the wild crested ibis were thought to have been extinct. After three years' scientific research and traveling 50 thousands kilometers, Professor Liu Ying of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified seven wild crested ibis in Yang Xian County of Shanxi Province in March 1981. Ever since then the life of this unique bird has entered a new phase…
4. The Takins of Qinling Mountains
The takin is a protected animal of first-class level, and among the four different subspecies of takins, the one living in Qinling Mountains is the most noticeable. Explorers and ordinary people have long been curious about these animals and their way of life. The production team enters deep into the vast mountain to look for takins, and the documentary shows the close relationship between the animals and the natural environment and their living habits in different seasons.
5. Przewalski's Gazelles
Przewalski's gazelles live in the area of Qinghai Lake and there are less than 300 left in the world today. The documentary records the living situation of the endangered gazelles and unveils many of the mysteries surrounding their origins, their habitat and living habits, while also focusing on their protection and discussing the wider problems concerning biodiversity around Qinghai Lake and the overall environment of the Qinghai Lake Nature Reserve, from which, the major question is how can the human beings create the right living and breeding conditions for endangered animals.
6. The Wild Donkeys of Kalamaili
The Kalamaili Natural Reserve located in the north of Xinjiang is the largest for wild Mongolian donkeys, covering an area of about 18,000 square km, where the hot, arid and inclement environment allows only few species to live and where there are only rare traces of human beings. The wild donkey is one animal that can live in the desert, wandering on the scorching plain in search of sparse food. This documentary records the real living situation of the wild donkeys in Kalamaili.
7. Approaching the Source of Three Rivers
The Yangtze, Yellow and LangcanjiangRivers, known as the mother rivers of the Chinese nation, all have their sources found in the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province. Yushu exercises jurisdiction over the Hoh Xil, a no-man area in the northwest, and has vast expanse of marshland, wetland and mountainous forests in the southeast. Complicated landforms create biological diversity, and are home to Tibetan antelopes, wild yaks and wild Tibetan donkeys, known as the three treasures of the plateau. This part of the world is also where the source of many large rivers lies. The source of the three rivers is also known as the “water tower of China”.
This play shows objectively efforts made to protect wildlife and eco-environment in the area.
1、熊猫
地处中国秦岭腹地的佛坪生物圈保护区，是野生大熊猫种群密度最大的区域之一。在神秘原始的森林里，大熊猫有序地进行着交配、产仔、哺幼，无拘无束地完成着生命的轮回与延续。
雍严格，佛坪生物圈保护区研究员。为了与大熊猫在野生环境里咫尺相处、亲密接触，他在大山里奔波了近三十年。他熟悉大山里的一草一木，更熟悉他热爱的大熊猫，被称为“和野生熊猫最贴近的人”。
张安兴，三官庙村村民。跟其他十四户村民一样，他从小就生活在大山里。他熟悉了这里的一切，也习惯了山里的生活。他所在的三官庙村是保护区范围内唯一的村庄，因此他和村民们被称作“和大熊猫同住一个村的人”。在这个既不通公路也不通电，几乎是与世隔绝的地方，他们世代过着清贫而又怡然自得的生活。然而，为了给大熊猫一个安静的家园，他们决定移民搬迁。
2、滇金丝猴
“滇金丝猴”是中国独有的珍稀濒危动物，自1897年法国动物学家米恩•爱德华在滇藏交界处第一次发现它的踪迹后，在此后的近一百年间“滇金丝猴”神秘的身影若隐若现，让好奇的人们为之痴迷。一个世纪以来，人们坚持不懈地追踪它、研究它，但从未如此近距离地接近过它。
本片拍摄历时三年，摄制组深入到滇金丝猴的栖息地，对滇金丝猴的分布和生活习性进行了跟踪拍摄，试图向人们揭开“滇金丝猴”神秘而美丽的面纱。
3、归鸟——中国朱鹮
朱鹮，鹮科鸟类，因其数量稀少而被列为“国际重点保护鸟类”，历史上曾广泛分布于中国、日本、朝鲜半岛和西伯利亚南部。因为种种原因，数量曾经多如麻雀的朱鹮陆续在其历史分布区域内销声匿迹，到1981年，可见到的朱鹮仅仅是在日本人工饲养的5只朱鹮，而野生朱鹮种群一度被认为已经绝灭。
1981年3月，中国科学院动物研究所的刘荫增教授在经¬过历时三年、行程5万公里的朱鹮寻觅历程之后，在陕西省洋县发现了世界上仅存的7只野生朱鹮。从此，展开了对朱鹮的研究和保护。
4、秦岭羚牛
羚牛是中国一级保护动物。在羚牛的四个不同亚种中，以生活在秦岭的羚牛最引人注目。人们对秦岭羚牛所知甚少又充满好奇，它也因此被称为“探险家羡慕的目标”。本片以摄制组深入大山，探寻羚牛为主线，通过不同季节对羚牛生活习性的拍摄，展现其和自然环境的密切联系，让人们在感受野性和自然的同时能够想到关爱动物、关爱自然。
5、普氏原羚
普氏原羚生活在中国青海湖地区，目前世界上仅有不到300只左右。本片客观记录了普氏原羚这一濒危物种的生存状况，揭示了有关普氏原羚的五大未解之谜，即身世之谜、发现之谜、标本之谜、来源之谜、栖息地之谜。以拯救保护普氏原羚为核心，探讨环青海湖地区的生物多样性和青海湖自然保护区整体环境问题，并由此衍生出人类怎样为濒危物种创造生存条件、繁殖条件的重大课题。
6、卡拉麦里的野驴
位于新疆北部的卡拉麦里自然保护区是中国最大的野生蒙古野驴保护区，面积大约1.8万平方公里。这里气候炎热干燥，环境恶劣、人迹罕至，只有少量物种能够生存，野驴便是这荒漠生灵中的一员。它们徜徉在这片炙热的荒原上，稀少并且难以寻觅。如今中国的野生动物保护者已经¬开始接触和研究这一珍贵的物种，本片将为您记录卡拉麦里野驴栖息与生存的真相。
7、走近三江源头
中华民族的母亲河长江、黄河以及澜沧江均发源于青海省玉树藏族自治州。玉树州辖区内西北部是大名鼎鼎的戈壁无人区可可西里，东南部是大量的沼泽湿地以及山地丛林。复杂丰富的地理环境，造就了这片狭长区域内的生物多样性。被称为高原三宝的藏羚羊、野牦牛、藏野驴以及许多珍禽异兽都生存在这一地区。同时由于众多大江大河都发源于此，三江源又有“中华水塔”之称。
本片通过大量的珍贵镜头，浓缩刻画了三江源地区野生动物保护工作的客观环境和真实状况。表明了中国政府在野生动物保护和生态环境保护工作中的坚定态度。
