1 Conservation and Management of Nature Reserves in Jiangxi Province Jiangxi Academy of Environmental Sciences Hu Xiaohua April 1, 2009
2 Outline Natural conditions and biodiversity of Jiangxi Province Types and distribution of nature reserves Management of nature reserves Main constraints affecting conservation and management of nature reserves Future plan Conclusion
3 1.Natural conditions and biodiversity Situated on the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,between geographic coordinates of E and N, the middle latitude subtropical zone Endowed with mild and humid climate (mean precipitation mm), which provides abundant hydrological resources and good conditions for assorted biological forms multiplying and growing.
4 General slope gradient from south to the north, being high and more mountainous in the southern counties, with eastern, western and southern parts being mountains, forming a giant asymmetric basin with the Poyang Lake plain as the low point. Land area of km 2,main landforms of hilly and mountainous lands, with mountainous land, hills, low hilly mounds and plains, and water covering 36%, 42%, 12% and 10% of the total area of the province. 5 major rivers (Gan, Fu, Xing, Rao and Xiu) originating from the boundary mountainous land and drain into the Poyang Lake from different directions.
5 (continued) According to its geographic position and geomorphologic features, the province terrain can be divided into five subregions as follows: South middle/low mountains North Yangtze River and Poyang Lake plain Northeast middle/low mountains and hills Northwest middle/low mountains and hills Middle hills. Forming an relatively independent and integrated ecosystem.
6 Flora According to the vegetation zoning in the China Vegetation (1980), the region belongs to the middle subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest zone. Due to 5 degrees of latitude of terrain and the influence of its complex topography, the vegetation is abundant and variable. The natural vegetation can be generally divided into 6 classes as follows: - Evergreen broadleaf forest: typical zonal vegetation with assorted species, mainly distributed widely in the southern areas; - Subtropical coniferous forest: main forest formations of mason pine (Pinus massoniana) and China fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata), widely distributed in the low mountains and hills; - Bamboo forest: distributed widely in the hilly areas with elevation between 100~500m, typical species Phyllostachys pubescens, being the main fast-growth forest resource developed and utilized in the province and accounting for 97% of the total bamboo forest;
7 (Continued) - Subtropical barren mountain shrub-grass thicket: azonal secondary vegetation widely distributed in the gentle hilly areas, with main species including altoherbosa and medium grass of Gramineae family, with Pteridophytes being the secondary; - Hygrophytic, hydrophytic and psammophytic vegetation: comprising meadow and grass/tree marsh vegetation, aquatic vegetation and lakeside sandy land vegetation, mainly distributed in the Poyang Lake plain; - Introduced vegetation: mainly plant introduced for agricultural, horticultural or forestry use, with main species including timber forest of China fir, mason pine, wetland pine and bamboo, economic forest of oiltea, tung oil, Chinese tallow tree, lacquer tree and tea tree, fruit tree and agricultural crops of paddy, mulberry, sweet potatoes, rapeseed, peanut, cotton, maize, lotus, medicinal herb and others.

32 3. Management of nature reserves Increasing emphasis of the central government on conservation and management of nature reserves as consistent with its strategy of scientific development and ecological civilization ; Management in a way as stipulated in Regulations of The People s Republic of China on Nature Reserves (the State Council,1994 ): -a management system combining integrated management with separate departmental management for the management of nature reserves; environmental protection administration responsible for integrated management, and the competent departments of forestry, agriculture, mineral resources, etc. responsible for management of relevant nature reserves under their jurisdiction; - establishment, cancellation or adjustment of nature reserves basically in a way of application and approval ;
33 (Continued) - competent administrative departments of the nature reserves of provincial governments responsible for management of the national nature reserves; the competent administrative department of nature reserves in local governments responsible for the management of the local nature reserves; - competent administrative departments of nature reserves shall set up a special administrative agency in each nature reserve, provide specialized technical staff responsible for the management of the nature reserves; - expenses for management of the nature reserves shall be arranged by the local governments where the nature reserves are located. The state shall subsidize the management of national nature reserves appropriately; - environmental protection administration have the right to conduct supervision and inspection on the management of all the nature reserves within their administrative division;competent administrative departments of nature reserves in governments have the right to conduct supervision and inspection on the management of the nature reserves they are responsible for.
34 (Continued) - Criteria for establishment of natural reserves In the areas which meet one of the following requirements, a nature reserve shall be established: typical areas with representative natural ecosystems, and those similar areas where the natural ecosystems have been damaged to some extent, but can be restored through proper protection; areas with a natural concentrated distribution of rare and endangered wild animal or plant species; areas of special protection value, such as marine and coastal areas, islands, wetland, internal water bodies, forests, grassland and deserts; natural remains of scientific or cultural value, such as geological structures, fossil distribution areas, glaciers, volcanoes, and hot springs; natural regions requiring special protection by the approval of the State Council or provinces' governments.
35 Management of nature reserves in Jiangxi Province Governmental strategy and policy: Development based on good ecology, green development. Goal: First class water quality, air quality, ecology, human living environment, and ecological conservation mechanism. Actions: Promulgating A number of governmental suggestions on enhancing the construction of green and ecological Jiangxi(2007), kicking off 10 projects for ecological conservation for achieving the goal of nature reserve area reaching 8% of total land area and forest coverage rate of 63% by 2010.
36 (Continued) Legislation and regulations - Management Procedures of Jiangxi Province for Nature Reserves (1994); - Conservation and Management Measures of Jiangxi Province on Wild Plants Resources (1994); - Regulation of Jiangxi Province on Conservation of Poyang Lake Migratory Birds (1996); - Measures of Jiangxi Province on Implementing The Law of The People s Republic of China on Wild Animals Conservation (1997); - Regulation of Jiangxi Province on Conservation of Poyang Lake Wetland (2003).
37 (Continued) Administrative agencies and staff - over 95% of the nature reserves managed by the Forest Department, less than 5% by the Agricultural Department nature reserves having independent administrative agencies; 80 nature reserves having non-independent agencies; 79 without administrative agencies; - a total administrative staff of 5157, among which 858 (about 17%) are specialized technical staff.
38
39 (Continued) Baseline data collection on biodiversity - collection of baseline data on biodiversity of the Province based on scientific survey findings during establishment, adjustment or upgrading conservation levels of nature reserves, and long year monitoring at some sites; - establishment of monitoring stations at national nature reserves of Poyang Lake (since 1999), Jiulian Mt.(since 1981), Taohongling, Jinggang Mt. - establishment of monitoring stations in 7 national nature reserves for monitoring of prevalent diseases and their foci.
40 (Continued) Scientific research and international exchange - scientific research in collaboration with over 50 universities and institutes mainly in 8 national nature reserves; study fields covering baseline survey and specific studies of wild animal populations and behaviors; - publishment of scientific survey reports of 8 nature reserves; over 7 research projects won provincial awards for the scientific achievements; - having exchanges with experts or officials of international organizations such as WB, GEF, IUCN, AWB and ICF from 30 different countries; establishing long term relations with over 10 international institutions or NGOs.
41 (Continued) Propaganda and education activities in communities in nature reserves - propaganda activities like Week of loving-birds, Propaganda month for wildlife conservation, International wetland day for enhancing public awareness; - a number of education bases established by universities or relevant institutions in nature reserves of Poyang Lake, Jinggang Mt., Wuyi Mt., and Guan Mt.

43 4.Main constraints affecting conservation and management of natural reserves in Jiangxi The area of nature reserves is small as compared with the national level ( 15% of land area), which is incompatible with its relatively richer biodiversity. Some fragile ecosystems in river source areas and some rare flora species are not covered by existing nature reserves. Management capacity is generally weak, especially for the county level nature reserves (80% of the total). Financial and technical input are limited.
44 5. Future plan The goals listed in The Development Plan for Jiangxi Province Forestry Nature Reserves ( ) ( Forestry Administration of Jiangxi Provincial Government, 2008): Year Number Area (ha) Percentage in total land area Remark % 11 national nature reserves, 30 provincial nature reserves, and 144 county/municipality level nature reserves % Cost for provincial level nature reserves construction will be covered by provincial government % All nature reserves are on the right track of management % Base year
45 6. Conclusion Jiangxi is endowed with good natural resources, characteristic of rich biodiversity. Over 85% of the wild flora and fauna species are preserved inside 171 established nature reserves despite an underdeveloped economy of the Province. Inadequate input and weak management capacity are main constraints limiting effective biodiversity conservation in the Province. Effective implementation of relevant governmental plans may be one way of improving biodiversity conservation in the Province, but other walks effort might catalyze and accelerate the achievement of the goal a healthy ecosystem of Jiangxi having Global positive externalities.
