China News Service, Kunming, September 13 (Reporter Hu Yuanhang) "Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, Yunnan has returned to planting 16 kinds of plants with a total of more than 30,000 very small populations
.

At present, including Fumin Trifoliate and Qiaojia Five Needle Pine More than 20 species of wild plants with extremely small populations have been effectively protected through rescue protection measures such as in-situ, ex-situ and return, and are free from extinction threats

Yunnan is rich in resources of wild animals and plants, ranking first in the country
.

At the same time, the diversity and vulnerability of wild animals and plants coexist

Wang Weibin, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of theYunnan Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau , introduced that Yunnan Province has always attached great importance to the rescue and protection of very small populations.
In 2005, it was the first in the country to put forward the "very small population" protection initiative
.

In 2010, the People's Government of Yunnan Province approved the implementation of the "Outline of Yunnan Province's Plan for Rescue and Protection of Very Small Population Species", clarifying a total of 112 priority protection targets for 62 wild plants and 50 wild animal species

Party group

Among them, in terms of the protection of very small populations of wild plants, Yunnan Province has included a total of 87 species of very small populations of wild plants that have been included in the national and provincial government protection action plans
.

Since 2017, Yunnan Province has carried out scientific management and protection of 67 plant species in nature reserves and other in-situ conservation points through scientific selection of protection objects, scientific creation of protection networks, implementation of measures such as population protection and habitat restoration, etc.

At present, more than 20 species of very small populations of wild plants in Yunnan have been effectively protected through rescue protection measures such as in-situ, ex-situ, and return.
They have escaped the threat of extinction and reached the rescue goal
.

For example, the extinct Fumin Trifoliate in the wild has been effectively restored and rebuilt in the original distribution; 15 species of ex-situ conservation such as Qiaojia five needle pine, canopy wood, Yangbi Acer, Diantong, Yunnan golden maple, Xianmai magnolia, and calyx winged vine.

With regard to the protection of extremely small populations of wild animals, Yunnan has focused on strengthening the protection and construction of animal habitats with natural reserves as the mainstay, and community and community co-management as the supplement
.

Up to now, Yunnan Province has established a total of 362 nature reserves in 11 categories, including pilot areas for the national park system and nature reserves

It is worth mentioning that Yunnan Province has also implemented three major projects including Asian elephant habitat restoration, monitoring and early warning, and safety precautions.
It has built more than 9,000 acres of food sources for Asian elephants, and established the Xishuangbanna Asian Elephant Rescue and Breeding Center to rescue wild elephants.
20 Yu Ci; breakthrough progress has been made in the artificial breeding technology of green peacocks, which provides a solid source of guarantee for the reintroduction of green peacocks; 26 organizations have established the "Dian Golden Monkey Whole-Bound Protection Network", which has established the government, public welfare organizations, The new model of joint protection of wild animals by scientific research institutions, communities, the public and enterprises, raises social funds through the Internet, and implements the monitoring, patrolling, restoration of habitat corridors, community protection, and nature education of Yunnan snub-nosed monkey population.
It is the flagship species.
Accumulate experience and set a model for protection
.

Wang Weibin revealed that, at present, Yunnan Province has compiled the "Plan for the Rescue and Conservation of Very Small Populations of Wild Plants in Yunnan Province (2021-2030)" and issued the "List of Protection of Very Small Populations of Wild Plants in Yunnan Province (2021 Edition)"
.

In the next 10 years, we will focus on 101 species of wild plants with very small populations, carry out rescue and protection work, and strive to realize the fundamental transformation of the conservation of very small populations of wild plants from the collection and preservation of species resources to the restoration and growth of wild populations
