(221208) -- CHENGDU, Dec. 8, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo shows a paved road in a mining site after ecological restoration in a cycad national nature reserve in Panzhihua, southwest China's Sichuan Province, Nov. 28, 2022. The city of Panzhihua boasts China's only national-level cycad nature reserve, with over 385,000 cycad plants. Local authorities and Panzhihua Iron and Steel have stepped up efforts to protect cycad plants, amid the city's green development and endeavors to restore ecosystems. Mining has been stopped in the reserve. Mountains that used to be bare due to the mining have turned green again. (Xinhua/Xu Bingjie)
