The state should strengthen the protection of small populations of wild plants

"If we don't carry out the protection of small population wild plants in time, many plants will be extinct before we know their biological characteristics and gene value!" Liu Fuxing, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of Yunnan Provincial Committee of Zhigong party, said that the state should strengthen the protection of small population wild plants and take relevant measures to improve the living environment of small population wild plants Liu Fuxing said that Yunnan has more than 50% of the country's higher plant and flower species respectively At present, Yunnan has 63% of the country's higher plant resources and more than 80 species of wild plants with very small populations Among them, there are only 4 species with only 1 to 10 plants under national key wild protection, 9 species with only 11 to 100 plants, and 14 species with only 101 to 1000 plants, all of which need more protection He said that in addition to their poor survival ability, the reason for the endangered wild plants of very small populations is that the protection measures are not in place In terms of wild plant protection, although governments at all levels have certain capital investment, the limited funds are far from meeting the actual needs of protection, which restricts the protection and management of small population wild plants; although some small population wild plants have been included in the nature reserve for on-site protection, no targeted protection scheme has been adopted; there is no effective wild plant protection The research and monitoring system of conservation science, especially the lack of understanding of the biological and ecological characteristics of the wild plants in the performance population, and the poor promotion and application of scientific research results, have affected the protection of the wild plants in the minimum population To this end, Liu Fuxing suggested that: we should speed up the formulation of the national plan for the rescue and protection of small populations of wild plants, and promote the introduction of detailed rules for implementation According to the characteristics and actual needs of different regions, the relevant departments of the state should further increase investment, concentrate limited funds to carry out rescue protection for the species of small population and promote population recovery "Although Yunnan Province has issued the opinions on strengthening the biodiversity protection in Northwest Yunnan, and listed the minimal population species protection project as one of the top ten protection projects, from the perspective of legalization, this is far from enough." He suggested that the protection of small populations of wild plants should be considered at the national level In addition to the detailed implementation of the general plan for the construction project of National Wildlife and nature reserve and the development plan of National Forestry Nature Reserve, the implementation plan for the rescue and protection of national wild plants with small population should be revised as soon as possible to promote more specific implementation rules Liu Fuxing also suggested that considering the special situation of dense distribution of wild plants in Yunnan, the "National Biodiversity reserve in Northwest Yunnan" should be established in Yunnan, and the "small population wild plant gene pool" should be built to effectively protect the wild plant population in Yunnan.
