❄️ As winter deepens this month in the pine forests of Hulunbuir, North China's Inner Mongolia, temperatures have plunged below -30°C. This harsh season puts local wildlife like lynx, red deer and more at risk of losing their foothold in the snow.
🛰️ To keep these animals safe, the Hulunbuir reserve is leaning into technology. Rangers are using real-time monitoring data and drone surveys to pinpoint where wildlife is struggling most.
🌐 The team has set up six new feeding stations and upgraded 12 others, each fitted with infrared cameras, snow shelters and protective fencing. These smart sites ensure hungry animals can find food and shelter without venturing too far into the cold.
🚶♂️ Daily patrols by rangers combine old-school dedication with new-school tools, creating a tight protection network that tracks animal movements and responds fast to any trouble.
🐾 This blend of human care and high-tech innovation is giving Inner Mongolia’s wildlife a fighting chance to survive the toughest months of the year. It's proof that, even in the frostiest corners of the planet, collaboration between nature and tech can spark hope.
