The Sichuan Basin evergreen broadleaf forests are a critically endangered WWF ecoregion.[1] The ecoregion occupies the Sichuan Basin in China and covers an area of 9,816,054 ha (24,256,000 acres).[2] The broadleaf forest habitat once covered the Sichuan Basin, but today is limited to mountains and preserved temple grounds in the basin and around the basin's rim. An especially well-preserved example of remaining forest exists on Mount Emei at the western edge of the Sichuan Basin. The original forests are thought to have been made up of subtropical oaks, laurels, and Schima. Much of the remaining Sichuan Basin has been converted to anthropogenic agricultural use in the last 5,000 years.[1]
