So, what's the difference between national parks and traditional nature reserves?

The first list of national parks was published.

National parks, established and managed by the state, are an important part of the construction of system of ecological civilization in China. The first list: Sanjiangyuan National Park, Giant Panda National Park, Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, Hainan Rainforest National Park and Wuyishan National Park.

1, Sanjiangyuan National Park

Located in the west of China, the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the south of Qinghai Province, it includes three parks, namely the Yangtze River Source, the Yellow River Source and the Lancang River Source, with a total area of 123 1 10,000 square kilometers, accounting for 3 1. 16% of the source area of the Three Rivers. Sanjiangyuan National Park is located on the earth. Roof of the world? The hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is dominated by high mountains and canyons, with an average elevation of more than 4,500 meters. The geological soil formation process is young, the freeze-thaw erosion is strong, and the soil texture is rough, mainly alpine meadow soil; Tailu area, located at the northern end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau climate zone, has changed from subtropical to warm and cool, semi-arid to cold and dry. There are 760 species of vascular plants in the park, belonging to 50 families and 24 1 genera. There are 270 species of wild terrestrial vertebrates, including 62 species of mammals, 0/96 species of birds, 7 species of amphibians and 5 species of reptiles. The establishment of the pilot system of Sanjiangyuan National Park will integrate the functional resources of various departments and regions and implement the restoration of the overall ecosystem, so as to rationalize the protection mechanism of Sanjiangyuan and enhance the scientific nature of protection.

2. Panda National Park

Giant panda habitat area10.5 million square kilometers, accounting for 58.48% of the national giant panda habitat area. The number of wild giant pandas is 1.340, accounting for 7 1.89% of the total number of wild giant pandas in China. It is a hotspot of biodiversity in the world.

Located in the west of China, Giant Panda National Park consists of Minshan Mountain in Sichuan, Qionglai Mountain, Daxiangling Mountain, Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi and Baishui River in Gansu, with a planned area of 27 134 square kilometers.

Giant pandas are endemic to China. The establishment of the Giant Panda National Park is conducive to enhancing the connectivity, coordination and integrity of the giant panda habitat and realizing the stable reproduction of the giant panda population. It is conducive to strengthening the biodiversity of giant pandas and their umbrellas and the overall protection of typical ecologically fragile areas, creating an important national ecological barrier and safeguarding national ecological security; It is conducive to innovating institutional mechanisms, solving cross-regional and cross-departmental institutional problems, and realizing the authenticity, integrity and systematic protection of important natural resources and natural ecosystems such as landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses; It is conducive to promoting the transformation of production and lifestyle and economic structure, building a well-off society in an all-round way, and forming a new situation in which ecological protection and economic and social development are coordinated and man and nature live in harmony.

3. Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park

Located in the center of Asian temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest ecosystem, it is the largest and only settlement breeding area of wild Siberian tiger and leopard population with breeding family in China.

4. Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park

It has the most concentrated distribution, the most diverse types, the best preservation and the largest contiguous area in China. Hainan gibbon is the only distribution place in the world and a treasure house of tropical biodiversity.

5. Wuyishan National Park

As a world cultural and natural heritage site, it has the most complete, typical and largest forest ecosystem in the same latitude, as well as unique Danxia landform landscape and rich historical and cultural heritage. It is a world-famous origin of biological model specimens.

What's the difference between national parks and traditional nature reserves?

A national park refers to a specific land or sea area approved by the state. Its main purpose is to protect the national representative natural ecosystem and realize the scientific protection and rational utilization of natural resources. It is the most important part of China's natural ecosystem, with the most unique natural landscape, the most elite natural heritage and the richest biodiversity.

What's the difference between national parks and traditional nature reserves?

Ecological value

National parks are the protection of national representative natural ecosystems, with global value and national symbol.

Protective strength

National parks have wider protection scope, more complete ecological process and higher management level.
