During their recent regular patrols in the Jinfo Mountain National Nature Reserve in Nanchuan District of Chongqing, workers of Nanchuan District Power Supply Company found that black leaf monkeys, the national first-class protected animals in China, often perch in trees close to the overhead bare wires in the reserve.
To eliminate potential electric shock risks for black leaf monkeys and other wild animals, Nanchuan District Power Supply Company organized for several times experts and technical professionals to inspect the power transmission lines passing through the reserve.
After taking into consideration of concrete circumstances, the company that has always integrated the green development philosophy into power grid construction, decided to replace the bare wires of its overhead power transmission lines spanning the reserve with insulated cables.
