Seven other trees taller than 70 meters were found during the survey in Jeling village, making it the place with the most tall trees on the mainland. This also demonstrates the forest ecosystem authenticity of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon areas.
Kelsang Bakdro, head of the Metog Forestry and Grassland Bureau, said they will work with research teams to explore the formation conditions and growth mechanism of the giant trees, which will provide scientific basis for long-term protection of the tall trees and the forest ecosystem of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon.
