Two researchers are conserving rare plant species found around
the Three Gorges Reservoir in a laboratory in Yichang City of Hubei
Province in central China. A resource bank which includes plants,
seed and gene databases has been established to protect the rare
and endangered plant species which thrive around the Three Gorges
Reservoir. A material library of these species has also been
established.
