Skink is a plant, an evergreen tree belonging to the Pinaceae family, and does not belong to the animal kingdom. Skink is a unique plant in my country, mainly distributed in Guizhou, Hunan, Guangxi and other regions. Although skinks are not protected animals, their population has declined sharply due to damage to their growing environment from human activities and over-exploitation. Therefore, in order to protect the unique plant of skink, relevant departments have taken various measures to protect it, such as strengthening supervision, restricting mining, and carrying out scientific research.
