In order to further understand the background of biological resources and test the effectiveness of protection and management, Wuyishan National Park launched a baseline survey of amphibians and reptiles in April 2020 and a three-year baseline survey of biological resources in April 2021. So far, the baseline survey of biological resources in Wuyishan National Park (including amphibian and reptile surveys) has discovered 12 new species, involving higher plants, insects, large fungi and other groups.
