zoo Xi'an, China
The Qinling Four Rare Animals Science Park, located in Zhouzhi County, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, is a specialized ex-situ conservation institution targeting four endemic flagship species of the Qinling Mountains: the Qinling giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca qinlingensis), Sichuan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), Qinling takin (Budorcas taxicolor bedfordi), and crested ibis (Nipponia nippon). Adjacent to the Qinling Zhongnanshan Global Geopark and Louguantai National Forest Park, the park sits within the core transition zone between the Qinling biodiversity conservation hotspot and the Guanzhong Plain, collaborating closely with the Shaanxi Institute of Zoology and Northwest A&F University on long-term species population dynamics research.
