Li Zhenji from Xiamen University led this expedition team of 18 scientists from nine scientific organizations specialized in ecology, biodiversity, wildlife protection, among others. He believes a joint expedition like this may help the conservation work in Wuyi Mountain.

"In the trip, I have seen some plants are still in their original condition, this is a very good sign of a healthy environment here," said Li.
