and yes many of those animals are endangered, many have gone extinct already. But they take environmental protection far more seriously now, as serious as anywhere and very efficient due to the near absolute power of the government, and many species are slowly but surely recovering.
all desert was once green, desertification has happened at incredible rates in China as well as in many other places around the world, but again at least China is taking big steps to stop or reverse it now.
Obviously China has fucked up, the whole world has, naturally China was a little later to the fuck up the environement party than Europe or America, perhaps they should have known better by now, but Africa is making the same mistakes, it's a natural consequence of progress. But China's on the same page as us now in realizing some of their mistakes and wanting to fix them, and because of their govenrment they can strongarm fixes more efficiently than other places have been able to. Just 10 or 20 years ago China had some of the worst air pollution on the planet, nowadays it's mostly in line with the rest of the first world. They have a massive population, massive manufacturing and corresponding massive energy needs but they are at least trying to produce a lot of their energy with renewables. And yeah, sometimes this has it's own consequences with dams harming ecosystems or turbines killing birds, but it's damned (heh) either way.
