Chinese researchers have discovered a new gecko species in the National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest, underlining the rich biodiversity of the island province’s protected ecosystems.
The dark green gecko was found during a field expedition in October 2024 in the Bawangling section of the national park, the Hainan provincial forestry department said yesterday.
