At a later stage, the released deer will be required to wear Beidou GPS positioning collars, so as to have their activities and migratory trajectories more accurately monitored. In this way, targeted measures can be adopted for their future protection.

In recent years, the population of milu deer has been steadily growing thanks to efforts such as the restoration of wildlife habitats and implementation of more scientific research. As of now, the number of milu deer has risen to around 10,000.
