Smoothly
developing international exchanges and cooperation
In recent years, the conservation of biodiversity in Yunnan
is attracted high attention from international nature conservation
organizations. Since the beginning of 1980s, GEF, WWF, IUCN,
International Cranes Foundation and MacArthur Foundation
carried out exchanges and cooperation with Yunnan Province
at the field of nature reserve and biodiversity conservations.
Nature reserves have been a window for the province to cooperate
and communicate with international community.
Making efforts
to explore an effective approach for
managing nature reserves and integrate conservation
with reasonable utilization and development
The ultimate purpose of building nature reserves and conserving
biodiversity is to serve the development of economy and
to benefit human beings himself. The Province carried out
the explorations on how to effectively manage nature reserves
in terms of the national guideline of ＾overall planning,
active conservation, scientific management and sustainable
utilization￣.
In 1991, the Provincial Government approved the establishment
of the provincial Nabanhe Nature Reserve in Xishuanbana
Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Environmental
Protection Bureau. The aim of establishing this Reserve
is to carry out sound development and appropriate business
operation in the pilot experimental areas by taking advantage
of natural resources in the reserve under the precondition
of conserving tropic forests and species resources. The
conservation of ecological environment should be integrated
with the development of local communities. The activities
of tourism and scientific investigation should be carried
out by taking advantage of natural environment and human
landscape to explore an approach for the coordination of
population, resource, environment and development, which
provides a good example for the conservation and management
of ecological environment.
