摘要

Over the past three decades, wildlife conservation in China has achieved a number of successes. Endangered animals such as the Chinese alligator and the crested ibis, and plants such as the dawn redwood and Dysosma versipellis have recovered from the brink of extinction after considerable in situ and ex situ conservation efforts. However, population increase alone does not ensure the longterm survival of rare and endangered species, which also requires support from different fields of conservation biology.
