Wildlife returns to Changbai Mountain reserve

Thanks to ecological protection efforts by the local administrative committee, wild animals have returned to Changbai Mountain in Northeast China.

"Experts say that Siberian tigers have increased in the Changbai Mountain forest area in Jilin province to a dozen in recent years. More important, they appear as a family, showing a breeding trend," said Xie Zhongyan, a National People's Congress deputy and director of the Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve Administrative Committee.

"Black bears are often seen," Xie added. "Populations of red deer, spotted deer and wild boars have increased gradually, and they can be seen in the reserve everywhere."
