The Shennongjia Reserve, established in 1982, is a comprehensive national nature reserve focusing on the protection of mountainous forest ecosystems and rare species such as golden monkey, tiger, golden-dotted leopard, golden vulture, white crane and dove tree in subtropical China. Due to its biodiversity significance and unique integrated vertical spectrum of vegetation, Unesco's Man and Biosphere programme selected the reserve as a member of the international reserve network in 1990.
