Wild Wonders of China wants to show that China is one of the most diverse countries on the planet, when it comes to habitats and ecosystems, ranging from the bottom of the ocean, to the peak of Mount Everest, at 8848 metres, the highest mountain in the world. Inbetween, there are steaming rainforests, endless grass steppes, sharp karst mountain ridges, scorching hot deserts and the highest high plateau in the world, the Tibet-Qinghai plateau. The ethnic diversity in China is also impressive, with 56 recognized ethnic groups.

  • An old growth forest with lichen-clad trees, something that is unfortunately more and more uncommon and precious in the world of today. Lichens take many decades to grow this big and they are also very vulnerable to air pollution. That is why we see less and less of these habitats today and we really need to cherish and enjoy and protect those that are still standing. A good Boreal forest ecosystem first starts to be really valuable for biodiversity once the trees have reached an age of about 130 years.<br />
