Under the Green Legacy Program, an advanced GIS system was put in place to collect and analyze data on the giant pandas within the Ya'an Conservation Area. This is a breakthrough - as no other panda sanctuaries in the world have ever used such a system. In addition, GPS, weather monitoring instruments, hygrothermograph, instruments for testing PH values and other field monitoring instruments were installed to support the 8 field monitoring stations over an area of 100 sq km to effectively track ecosystem changes, panda movements and survival rates; as well as the establishment of three giant panda habitat eco-corridors to expand the roaming area and prevent isolation among pandas and other wildlife inhabitants. Moreover, project activities within the South China Karst focused on staff training and capacity building, awareness raising and public outreach, as well as other site specific activites such as establishing a resource database system in Shilin, piloting an eco-fuel program and enhancing visitor planning in Libo. Another achievement worthy of mention is that Wulong's Furong Cave is the first cave in China where an automatic cave environment monitoring system is installed with support from the Green Legacy Program. Through stringent scientific monitoring and the research on landscape preservation, Furong Cave is now a role model in sustainable management for all the caves open to visitors in China. Furthermore, thousands of site management staff also received training in world heritage convention and regulations; on the other hand, local primary and secondary students also learnt about heritage protection and ecology. With the Program's funding, a total of 14 publications were produced for purpose of raising community awareness.
