Abstract
- Objective: T0 understand the population distribution, species abundance and habitats requirement of a medicinal animal, Centropus sinensis, in Guangxi Province.<br />Methods: Line transect methods were used to census population number and habitat types in 18 counties or cities of Guangxi.<br />Results: Centropus sinensis distributed in all study area, with a higher population density in the south than in the north. Among seven habitat types, the species preferred living in forest-farmland ecotone, while seldom in broad-leaves forest or plantations.<br />Conclusion: The results of habitat preference show an advantage to the population recovering for forest-farmland ecotone commonly existing in Guangxi Province. But the speed of population recovering is slowly under illegal hunting pressure. More attention should be paid to protect this species.
