May 22 is the International Biodiversity Day. Biodiversity makes the earth full of vitality and is also the basis for human survival and development. General Secretary Xi Jinping once stressed that we should respect nature, comply with nature, protect nature, and build the earth home where people and nature coexist harmoniously.
"In order to strengthen biodiversity conservation, China is accelerating the construction of a natural reserve system with national parks as the main body, and gradually bringing the most important natural ecosystem, the most unique natural landscape, the most elite natural heritage, and the most abundant biodiversity areas into the national park system." President Xi Jinping held the Convention on Biological Diversity in Kunming in 2021 At the 15th Summit of the Leaders of the Conference of the Parties, it was announced to the world that China has officially established the first batch of national parks, including Sanjiangyuan, Giant Panda, Amur Tiger and Amur Leopard, Hainan Tropical Rainforest and Wuyi Mountain.
Today, snow leopards walk gracefully in the source of the three rivers, gibbons sing in the tropical rainforest of Hainan, and giant pandas have become the "top stream of the network" with charming naivety... Walking in the national park, everything grows vigorously, and it is becoming an ideal home for many rare wild animals, showing the rich beauty of biodiversity.
The Sanjiangyuan National Park, located on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world, is the first national park system pilot in China. Nowadays, snow leopards frequent here, and the number of Tibetan antelopes is growing steadily.
The Giant Panda National Park spans Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, opens 13 ecological corridors of giant panda population, and protects more than 70% of wild giant pandas, which is of global conservation significance and research value.
A full coverage monitoring system has been built in the National Park for the Amur Tiger and Amur Leopard, realizing the goal of "seeing the tiger and the leopard and managing people". There are about 70 wild Amur tigers and 80 wild Amur leopards.
Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is the ecological security barrier of Hainan Island. In recent years, the rainforest habitat has continued to improve, and the gibbon population has recovered to 37 in 6 groups.
The unique geographical environment and natural conditions give birth to the world-famous biodiversity of Wuyishan National Park. In recent years, Wuyishan National Park has effectively improved the protection effect and found new species such as Wuyi Forest Frog.
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long." Strengthening biodiversity protection and building ecological civilization cannot be achieved overnight, but it is a long-term cause. Under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, the construction of a beautiful China has constantly taken new steps, and the Chinese scroll of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is constantly presenting new highlights.
