It is understood that a large area of the last century due to deforestation, there is only Nature Reserve in Ma Mi Ze left nearly 5 acres of woodland felled require manual recovery, the need to manually restore the Liangshan Prefecture of 20 million mu of forest land.
Reconstruction of giant panda habitat fragmentation
Forest carbon sink through forest absorption of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and fixed in vegetation or soil, thereby reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A tree can absorb 18.3 kg of carbon dioxide a year, as projected, Ma Mi Ze Reserve planted 1000 acres of forest land that will be in the next 30 years, 20000 tons of carbon dioxide, a considerable
7500 cars a year to reduce carbon emissions.
This 1000 acres of forest carbon sinks in Leibo County, northwest of Ma Mi Ze Nature Reserve, which will not only play a role in carbon sequestration, will also improve the living giant panda here, Sichuan Hill Partridge and other rare wildlife habitat environment.
Ma Mi Ze protected area located at latitude 28 ° 10 'to latitude 28 ° 31' between the area of about 388 square kilometers, is the southernmost habitat for giant pandas. Prior to 1998, "Wood economy" Leibo County is a major source of revenue, due to large-scale felling of forests resulting in giant panda habitat fragmentation, island, seriously affected the integrity of giant panda habitat. April 2010, Beijing launched a Landscape Conservation Centre "N 28 ° panda rescue operations", in latitude 28 ° with the distribution of wild giant panda giant panda nature reserve and the surrounding carbon sink forests planted corridors, restoration and reconstruction giant panda habitat fragmentation, construction giant panda corridor.
"According to experts, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of observation, Ma Mi Ze live in nature reserves of more than eight wild pandas." Mi Ma Ze, deputy director of Nature Reserve Management Office, said Zhang Yue Min.
Carbon sink forest tree species are used Ma Mi
Ze native species - fir and spruce, Zhang Min Yue said that according to experience, the vegetation under the tree can become fully Lin Houlin growth. "Fir, spruce understory vegetation dominated by cold bamboo, edible bamboo is the panda."
Local farmers will be able to benefit from
Ma Mi Ze protected areas could still see tree stumps left by logging the year. "Fir tree was cut down to two or three people to a large encirclement." Mian Zhang Yue said, "high-altitude fir and spruce are slow-growing species, relying on natural recovery is impossible." To restore these forests, we must rely on artificial breeding, management and protection and coordination. "
New species of the carbon sink forest, protected areas, local farmers will provide 5000 man-days of work opportunities. "Pay per person per day is 100 yuan." Mian Zhang Yue said.
"Carbon sink through forest, we want to tell the local residents, economic development, cultural heritage, community development and environmental balance can be achieved." Beijing Landscape Conservation Center Executive Director of the Sun Shan said.
Currently, Ma Mi Ze Nature Reserve have been cut down nearly 5 acres of woodland then need to manually restore, and need to manually restore the Liangshan area of nearly 20 million mu of forest land. Source: Huaxi Dushi Bao
