Features: The book features exquisite illustrations for each nationally protected wildlife species, accompanied by numerous color images to achieve a visually engaging and comprehensive effect. This enables readers to gain a deeper and more complete understanding of China's nationally protected wildlife and related biological knowledge through reading. Additionally, it aims to provide aesthetic enjoyment through direct appreciation. Unlike other similar publications, this book does not merely offer isolated and brief introductions to species listed on the national protected wildlife list. Instead, it follows the origins and evolution of each animal group as its main thread, providing a detailed account of the name, classification, subspecies differentiation, morphology, structure, historical evolution, distribution, habitat, behavior, diet, reproduction, economic significance, current conservation status, and related nature reserves for every listed species. Furthermore, when introducing a species, it also briefly covers the characteristics of related species listed in Appendices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as well as other similar species and the entire group.
Additionally, the book collects many interesting anecdotes about animals in their daily lives, striving to make it a science popularization book that integrates scientific rigor, knowledge, and readability. At the same time, it serves as a comprehensive and scientifically strong reference tool for China's nationally protected wildlife.
