More than 1,300 wild pandas live in Sichuan, accounting for 74% of the country's total. Sichuan has actively promoted the pilot work of the giant panda national park system, and strived to turn the panda habitat into an ecological paradise, providing a higher level of protection for the "national treasure".area of the Giant Panda National Park is 27,134 square kilometers, and the Sichuan area is 20177 square kilometers, accounting for 74.36 percent of the total area.
In response to the problem of less panda activity and more human production and living facilities in some areas of the park, Sichuan, in accordance with the requirements of "protecting the most protected places completely", has re-defined and fine-tuned the scope on the basis of the 2017 National Park Survey, and the adjusted national park has 1205 wild pandas, so that "the total area is not reduced, the habitat area is not reduced, the number of protected giant pandas is not reduced, the proportion of the core area is not reduced."
After the official listing of the Giant Panda National Park Authority on October 29, 2018, the Sichuan Provincial Forestry and Prairie Administration added the "Sichuan Provincial Administration of Giant Panda National Park" sign in November 2019, and in January 2019, seven branches of the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Giant Panda National Park were listed in Chengdu, Mianyang, Ya'an, Guangyuan, Aba, Deyang and Meishan, marking a new stage in the pilot work of the Sichuan Giant Panda National Park System.
Bao Jianhua, deputy director of the Forestry and Prairie Bureau of Sichuan Province, said that Sichuan has identified the giant panda national park management agency and initially explored the formation of a three-tier management system of the "National Bureau - Provincial Bureau - Management Bureau", and that the relevant operating mechanisms and functional responsibilities are being further refined and implemented.
since the establishment of China's first giant panda conservation-oriented Wolong Reserve in 1963, Sichuan has established 46 giant panda nature reserves, and wild pandas and panda habitats have been effectively protected in nature reserves.Tan Yingchun, 51, a conservation station researcher at the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province, collects wildlife droppings and installs infrared cameras in the mountains and forests between two kilometers and five thousand meters above sea level about two-thirds of the time each year.
people mistakenly think that panda research can travel to the mountains every day to play with water, and even hold giant pandas. "We need to monitor the natural behavior and living environment of wild animals, so make as little noise as possible in the wild." "The biggest wish is to meet them on the road, " said Tan Yingchun, director of the Sanjiang Protection Station. If we meet, we won't bother it, just observe it quietly. Researchers
Tan Yingchun have been in Sichuan's major protected areas, pursuing the panda's footprints in the mountains all year year and doing scientific research.
Scientific research is an important part of Sichuan's efforts to promote the pilot of giant panda national parks, and Sichuan aims at the frontier areas of scientific research, organizes research in key areas such as ecological environment protection, biodiversity conservation, climate change, community co-construction, highlighting ecological protection, ecological mechanism, ecological monitoring and information construction, and using the cutting-edge achievements of cytology and genetics to strengthen the construction of giant panda genealogy, gene base and database.
After a long period of efforts, Sichuan panda researchers have overcome the panda artificial breeding "difficult, difficult to conceive, difficult to breed" and "wild release difficult" and other difficult problems, carried out genetic, genetic and other research, artificial breeding of giant pandas with remarkable results.Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province is a listed unit of guangyuan Management Bureau of Giant Panda National Park. No matter which season, people here may be with the national focus on the protection of wild animals, foraging for the horned antelope, playful golden monkeys, elf-like green-tailed rainbow, and even giant pandas, every encounter is exciting.
this is due to tangjiahe in practice to explore the "point settlement, line upstream, surface protection" model. Tangjiahe, by guiding the original residents of the protected area to move to the entrance community to live centrally, will return the vast nature to wildlife, the protected area and the import community "co-management", to achieve coordinated development.
Qingxi Town is the only existing administrative village in Tangjiahe, limited by natural conditions, the planting mode of The village is single, the villagers' economic income is low, ecological protection and community economic development contradictions have long plagued Tangjiahe.
In order to solve this contradiction, Tangjiahe Management Office prepared community co-management planning, changed the production and lifestyle of the original residents of the village of Luigou, launched the "effort to have 1 person per household employment plan", free of charge to the local people to carry out panda protection and other aspects of knowledge training, so that villagers assume the protection of the "ecological rangers" "labour exporters" "co-managers" and other roles, as "panda park people."
Shen Xingna, director of the Tangjiahe Sanctuary Management Department, told reporters that Tangjiahe, in accordance with the plan of the Giant Panda National Park, tried to carry out franchising, giving priority to local residents and their enterprises under the same conditions, and realizing "in-area travel, eating and living outside the area", to maximize the benefits to the people, to achieve the joint construction of the import community and the protected area, ecological results sharing.
In the future, Sichuan will establish a natural protection system with giant panda national parks as the main body, connect the fragmented panda habitat as far as possible, unify the existing natural resources scattered in protected areas at all levels into a management entity, use modern information technology to monitor and track giant panda populations, habitats and communication corridors in real time, resolve the contradictions between conservation and development, balance the relationship between man and nature, and form a new situation of coordinated development of ecological protection and economy and society, harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
