China has made progress in protecting endangered animals and plants. Through man-made breeding( 繁殖 ) programs, animals like Milu deer( 麋鹿, now 10,000) and Przewalski’s horses( 普氏野马, 700) have grown in numbers. Giant pandas increased from 1,114 in the 1980s to 1,864, and Tibetan antelopes( 藏羚羊) rose from 60,000 to over 300,000.
More than 200 plant gardens now protect 20,000 kinds of plants. Rare plants, including 112 unique to China, have been brought back to nature. Laws against illegal( 非法 ) selling or buying of wildlife, have become stricter.
By 2025, China aims to protect 75% of wild animals and 80% of plants. Recent success includes nine baby Milu deer born in a nature reserve thanks to breeding programs. These efforts, along with monitoring and reserves, help build a future for all life.

中国在保护濒危动植物方面取得了进展。通过人工繁育项目，像麋鹿（现在有10000只）和普氏野马（700匹）这样的动物数量有所增长。大熊猫的数量从20世纪80年代的1114只增加到1864只，藏羚羊的数量从6万只增加到30多万只。
目前有200多个植物园保护着2万种植物。包括112种中国特有的珍稀植物在内的稀有植物已被重新引入自然。打击非法买卖野生动物的法律变得更加严格。
到2025年，中国的目标是保护75%的野生动物和80%的植物。最近的成功案例包括在一个自然保护区里，由于繁育项目的实施，有9只麋鹿幼崽出生。这些努力，连同监测和保护区的建设，有助于为所有生命构建一个未来。
