Rare Large Stand of Endangered Natural Yew Trees Discovered in Zhashui, Shaanxi
A rare large stand of natural yew trees, numbering more than 100,000, has recently been discovered in Zhashui County, Shaanxi, which is located in the Qinling Mountains.

Scientists found that over seventeen years, these five fish species plunged by at least 87% and by as much as 98%. They
