A rare Chinese goral and its young were captured climbing, grazing and sharing space with a silver pheasant in the dense forests of the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve in southwest China's Yunnan Province.

In the footage recently captured by an infrared camera installed in the nature reserve, the agile goral was seen navigating steep cliffs with ease, pausing to scratch and relax, at night.

By day, the herd would wander through forests to graze, savoring fresh shoots.

In a rare moment, one goral shared the frame with a silver pheasant, highlighting the harmony of life in the wild.

The Chinese goral is under second-class national wild fauna protection in China.

Located in Baoshan City, Yunnan, the Gaoligong Mountains are an important part of the southern end of the Hengduan Mountains and a crucial ecological barrier in southwest China. The area features dense forests and a rich diversity of flora and fauna species, earning it the title of "world species gene bank."

The multilateral system is "under attack" amid global turmoil, President of the 80th UN General Assembly Annalena Baerbock warned in her remarks on Wednesday.

In her briefing on the priorities for the resumed 80th Session of the General Assembly, the UNGA president noted that the current multilateral system does not collapse all in a sudden, but "crumbles piece by piece" in divisions, compromises, and lack of political commitment.

The president called all the UN member states to defend the UN Charter and international law and promote cross-regional cooperation.

She also urged to push forward the work of the UNGA on certain critical issues with a strong majority, rather than an absolute consensus among all member states. Such act is not a failure of multilateralism, but "an affirmation of it," she said.

The foundational principles of the institution should not be eroded by appeasement, she said, calling the member states to show courage, leadership, and responsibility at the UN's "critical make-or-break moment."

"The UN needs you. Your support, your leadership, your principle, stand, your cross-regional cooperation, if we are to preserve and modernize this institution, if we are to make it, rather than break it," she said.
