An anti-poaching patrol team was established in 1995 by a group of volunteers from the Qiang ethnic group with the aim to protect the local ecology, wild animals and plants in Maoxian county, Southwest China's Sichuan province. Thanks to their efforts, some wildlife once on the brink of extinction is thriving.
