Ohiocordycep sinensis is a major source of income for highlander communities. Sustainable harvesting of O. sinensis is crucial for ensuring the long-term availability of this valuable resource, which has significant economic and medicinal importance. The increasing demand and high market value have led to unsustainable collection practices, threatening both the species and the livelihoods of local communities. Implementing sustainable harvesting strategies is essential to balance economic needs with ecological preservation. To this end the Government has adopted various measures to ensure its sustainability, including controlling the numbers of permit issuance to 3 heads per household, establishing an end date for the collection season(one month) and educating collectors about the fungus's life cycle to promote sustainability.

The Takin is a seasonal migratory animal, they migrate to higher regions in early summer to avoid blood-sucking parasites, and they migrate to lower valleys in early autumn to avoid the cold, harsh winter season & to find the greener pasture.
