Achalinus jinggangensis is a small snake, which is unique to my country. Most of the snakes in the family Colubridae are non-venomous snakes, and the same is true for Jinggangshan Ridge Snake.
There is very little research data on Jinggangshan Ridge Snake, and the number is also scarce. Only four individuals were recorded between 1983 and 2009, and another five individuals were found in intensive surveys between 2010 and 2011. Their habitat is extremely narrow and they have been listed as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List. Now they are also listed as Class II protected animals in my country.
Listed in the "National List of Terrestrial Wildlife with Important Economic and Scientific Research Value" issued by the State Forestry Administration of China on August 1, 2000.
Listed in the China Biodiversity Red List - Vertebrate Volume, with an assessment level of Vulnerable (VU).
Listed in Class II of the "National Key Protected Wildlife List of China".
Protect wild animals and stop eating game.
Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
