Provided to China Daily Comprehensive surveys The distribution of Chinese pangolins in Shenzhen remained relatively unclear until December 2019 when the first images of a Chinese pangolin were captured in Dapeng New District, sparking targeted research on the animal in the area. Following a plan to conduct surveys in key areas annually and citywide every five years, Huang said, the Luohu bureau has utilized the Geological Information System to divide the survey area into 1 square kilometer grids, trying to figure out the distribution of rare and endangered species, key protected species and region-specific species. Wen Chujun, one of a dozen members of the team, said that the survey in Luohu mainly focused on the Wutong Mountain National Scenic Area, Yinhushan Country Park and Honghu Park. In the survey last year, the team, using infrared-triggered cameras, recorded traces at several locations of the nationally protected species small Indian civet and leopard cat, with other mammals such as the masked palm civet, Chinese ferret-badger and wild boar frequently appearing in footage.
