英文摘要	The blue-crowned laughingthrush ( Garrulax courtoisi ), a songbird species endemic to Jiangxi Province in central China ([ 1 ][1]), is designated as Critically Endangered on both the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List ([ 1 ][1]) and the China Species Red List ([ 2 ][2], [ 3 ][3]). The laughingthrush, which breeds in low-altitude, broad-leaved forests ([ 4 ][4]), was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in Wuyuan in 2000 ([ 5 ][5]). In the 20 years since, the population has not substantially grown ([ 1 ][1]). There are now only about 240 individuals in the wild ([ 1 ][1]). Without effective protection, the species may not survive. Human activities have exacerbated the decline of the blue-crowned laughingthrush population. Trapping for the bird trade led to the species' extinction in Yunnan, with 400 birds reported to have been trapped from 1987 to 1992 ([ 5 ][5]). In Wuyuan, urban development has caused habitat destruction, which forces the birds to relocate to breed ([ 1 ][1], [ 6 ][6]). Because Wuyuan is known as “China's most beautiful landscape” ([ 7 ][7]), with rich bird diversity ([ 8 ][8]), human tourism activities have also disrupted the bird's reproductive processes ([ 6 ][6], [ 9 ][9]). Protecting the bird and its breeding habitats requires urgent and coordinated action from the government and the public. The species was recently updated to class I, the most critical, in the national key protected species list ([ 10 ][10]), a step in the right direction that should raise public awareness about the need for its conservation. Because the laughingthrush depends on patches of remnant forest and old-growth trees near villages for both breeding and nesting ([ 6 ][6], [ 9 ][9]), the most effective measure might be managing and restoring this habitat and reducing nearby human activities. Given that most breeding sites of the blue-crowned laughingthrush do not fall within the current system of national natural reserves ([ 6 ][6]), China should also implement policies to protect the gaps before it is too late. 1.
