Technology Protects the Northeastern China Tiger and Leopard National Park
The International Union for Conservation of 
Nature (IUCN) categorizes Amur tigers as 
“endangered” and Amur leopards as “critically 
endangered” on its Red List. In a field study of 
these animals in China, a research team from 
Beijing Normal University uncovered invaluable 
information: From 2012 to 2014, there were 
at least 27 Amur tigers and 42 Amur leopards 
active in China.
However, all of their work was done manually, 
and slow data collection made conservation 
efforts extremely inefficient. To address this 
issue, the Amur Tiger and Amur Leopard 
Monitoring and Research Center, part of the 
National Forestry and Grassland Administration 
of China, developed a sky-to-earth system that 
covers the entire park. This system is the first of 
its kind in the world, and monitors, assesses, and 
manages natural resources in real time.
Powered by a 700 MHz LTE network built by 
Huawei and Jishi Media, the system can stream 
real-time HD video captured by infrared camera 
traps, ecological data, and footage from road 
checkpoints and fire safety cameras. The system 
also supports video calls and the tracking of 
ranger patrols, so that conservationists have 
remote access to real-time data to support their 
research.
By the end of 2020, the LTE network almost 
covered the entire 14,600-square-kilometer 
national park. Over the past year and a half, the 
monitoring system has captured over one million 
traces of wild animals and human activities. 
Conservationists have discovered new litters of 
cubs in the tiger and leopard populations every 
year, offering hope for those who work to protect 
the future of these majestic animals.
Technology for Inclusion and Equity in Health

Health is a basic human right. Our shared goal 
is to make healthcare easier to access for more 
people, so that diseases can be prevented and 
treated early on, and all of humankind can enjoy 
the benefits of good health. Huawei is actively 
seeking out partners in three areas: access to 
healthcare, telemedicine, and medical research. 
With innovative ICT technologies, we can help 
offer equal access to high-quality healthcare 
resources to everyone, wherever and whoever 
they might be.

Easier Communication for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
In China, more than 27 million people are 
deaf or hard of hearing. However, there is a 
severe shortage of accessibility support and sign 
language services.
To ensure that these people are not left behind 
in the digital world, one of our partners has 
developed the Trouble-free Hearing app. 
Powered by HUAWEI CLOUD AI, this app 
is designed to make online learning and 
entertainment more accessible, and to enable 
easier communication in everyday scenarios. The 
app can also help deaf people communicate 
in more challenging situations, like talking to 
doctors, legal consultations, and at service 
windows.
This app can generate subtitles for videos 
played on mobile phones, providing access to a 
wider range of content. The app also provides 
face-to-face sign language interpretation services 
via remote video conferencing for more complex 
situations. By the end of 2020, more than 15,000 
people were using the Trouble-free Hearing app.
