Breathtaking beauty of the wetland
Wetlands also known as "kidney of the earth." Upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Sichuan is an important water conservation area and the focus of the National Soil and Water Conservation District, in the whole ecosystem of the Yangtze River important.

Discover the diversity of wetland conservation
Wetland resources as a province, the province in recent years attached great importance to wetland conservation and management. In the protection of "kidney of the earth", the Sichuan made a series of exploration, multi-channel, multi-form for the effective protection of wetlands.
Institution-building and wetlands legislation, to wetland conservation and management on the normalization and legalization of the track. In 2008, Sichuan Wetlands Centre was established to coordinate the province's wetland management foundation; October 1, 2010, "Wetland Protection Regulations of Sichuan Province," the official implementation, not only improve the legal system for nature conservation in our province , wetland protection legislation but also to make our province the forefront in the nation.
Wetland Nature Reserve is the primary means of our province, as of 2010, Sichuan Province has established 53 wetland nature reserves, protection and management of an area of 3430000 hectares. National Nature Reserve, which has 6, 15 provincial nature reserves. Wetland Park is to promote the importance of wetland conservation and rational use of means, early in April, the State Forestry Administration officially approved the province's largest tile mountain and two national organizations River Wetland Park (pilot), At this point, the province of wetlands Park has reached 12, including National Wetland Park (pilot) 4, provincial Wetland Park 8.
Since 1998, the province have been implemented to protect natural forests, returning farmland to forest, wildlife protection and nature reserve construction, western North desertification control projects, wetland protection works key ecological projects, to make our province a typical wetland system, the source of major rivers and water resources, rare and endangered aquatic animals and birds, and breeding and wintering habitats of migratory birds have a strong protection. "Eleventh Five-Year" period, according to Tuochuan Northwest desertification control project, the National Wetland Protection grant funds and central wetlands, the province in Ruoergai County, Hongyuan County, Shiqu County, Litang County and other areas of wetland conservation and restoration of active project. By filling ditch filled with water, tie plugging point vegetation, desertification control, rodent control and other measures to Ruoergai, Japan and other key wetland dried Joe the over 10000 hectares.
In addition, with the United Nations Development Programme, WWF, Wetlands International and other organizations to carry out wetland protection and wetland restoration demonstration of international cooperation projects, learn from the advanced experience of wetland conservation, wetland protection and restoration of the technology in our province means continuous improvement. Through the World Wetlands Day, Love the Birds Week, the protection of wild animals in various forms of publicity Awareness Month, so deeply rooted awareness of wetland conservation, wetland protection all sectors of the province's concern about the continuing increase.
Wetlands need to be more to the force of the future
With population growth and accelerated socio-economic activities in the global climate change, environment, wetland degradation trends and challenges.
Zoige wetlands, in 1975 -2001 years, 26 years, Marsh contracted 20.20%, lakes, wetlands shrank 34.48%; Ruoergai County wheat Township Hindu initiatives Lake, 1974 an area of 22.3 acres, by 2009 has been reduced to 17.7 acres of wetland degradation in the province ... ... mainly in the wetlands ability to reduce water culvert, weakening of ecosystem services, biodiversity loss, reduction of available water resources and so on. The wetland management system is not perfect, wetland nature reserves lagged behind park building is still in its infancy, and the province's wetland resources and the lack of strong technical research support and other factors, are urgently resolved. Protection of wetlands, also need to continue to force the move.
Improve wetland management institutions at all levels, strengthen the construction of the wetland nature reserve, for reporting more wetlands of international importance, to develop the province's wetland management practices and construction specifications, construction of wetland management system is imperative.
To carry out Zoige wetlands, alpine lakes and marshes Haizishan wetland restoration projects to promote source Yalong, Minjiang source, the Jialing River, the river source area of Liangshan Mountains and other Valley wetland, the comprehensive management of important wetlands put on the agenda.
Organized and completed a second survey of wetland resources across the province, the preparation of "Tianfu wetlands - Sichuan Wetlands and wetland resources report", establishing the province's wetlands and wetland resources, wetland monitoring system and focus research and monitoring system, scientific and technological support wetland protection system needs to speed up construction.
So that more public awareness of wetlands, wetlands approached, concern wetlands, long-term mechanism to establish wetland protection and multiple security system, we work together to protect our common ecological home, so that the beauty of the wetland in Sichuan earth forever.
