Smart conservation: Ancient trees get digital IDs

In Jian'ge, Sichuan province, the tradition of protecting ancient trees has been passed down for generations. Local people's deep respect for these ancient cypresses is an integral part of daily life. Today, each ancient cypress has its own "electronic ID card" — a QR code that allows instant access to key information, including tree height, diameter at breast height, age and designated caretaker, enabling more precise conservation management.
