Shennongjia Adds Another Bird Species to Hubei’s Avian Family
On the morning of September 4, 2025, a birdwatcher with the Xiaohongshu username “冰鹡鸰birder” recorded two rosefinches in the Jinhouling area of Shennongjia National Park. Experts later identified them as Blanford's Rosefinches (Carpodacus rubescens). The name sounded familiar, so I searched through my archived folder of important bird records and found a related photo. Finally, the time has come to confirm its identity.2025-09-16

"Gathering Strength from Role Models, Illuminating with Exemplary Glory" — Advanced Figures of Shennongjia National Park (Part V)
In 1995, 19-year-old Jiang Huazhen first stepped into the Shennongjia Nature Reserve. Living in wooden plank houses, hiking deep into the mountains, cooking over an open flame — she went from clumsy apprentice to capable protector. The sealed specimens she made in 2012 remain perfectly preserved after ten years, hailed as “technically superb.” Today, the 21,232 mu (about 1,415 hectares) of forest she patrols bears the imprint of her steadfast footsteps. Over thirty years, this second-generation forest worker has turned youth into story. “In Shennongjia,” she says, “every moment is a blessing, and every inch of time is filled with contentment.”2025-07-29

Towering Shennongjia, with over 1,000 square kilometers of mountain forests and tens of thousands of biological species, is safeguarded day and night by more than 1,900 forest rangers ensuring its tranquility.
