Group 1 - The core focus is on the conservation and habitat restoration efforts for the Sichuan Hill Partridge, a critically endangered species endemic to southwestern China, particularly in Sichuan [6][7] - The Sichuan Hill Partridge population is currently estimated at around 2,200 individuals, with habitat area exceeding 6,000 square kilometers, showing significant growth compared to previous surveys [7] - The restoration project involves planting native species such as August bamboo and other local tree species over an area of 600 acres, specifically designed to enhance the habitat for the Sichuan Hill Partridge [5][8] Group 2 - The project aims to address the bottleneck in the species' distribution, as the Sichuan Hill Partridge primarily inhabits specific mountain forests between 800 and 2,500 meters in elevation, where August bamboo is crucial for its breeding [6][8] - The restoration efforts include selective logging of non-native species and planting of local flora to improve habitat quality, thereby providing food and shelter for the partridge [8][9] - Future plans include expanding the habitat restoration to adjacent areas, potentially increasing suitable habitat to 400 square kilometers and facilitating genetic exchange among partridge populations [9]
