Shennongjia is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, and is named after the Yandi Shennong's family who erected a wooden ladder here. In May 1970, the establishment of Shennongjia Forest District was approved, which is the only administrative area named after "Forest District" in China so far.
Shennongjia is the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and there are 6 peaks above 3,000 meters above sea level, which is known as the "roof of Central China". It has the most intact forest ecosystem in the world's northern ** belt, and is known as the "green miracle" of the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

In the southwest of this forest area, there is an animistic place, that is, the candidate area of Shennongjia National Park, which is one of the first 10 pilot areas of the national park system in the country.
Candidate area appearance.
National parks refer to specific land areas or sea areas with the main purpose of protecting the natural ecosystems with national representativeness and realizing the scientific protection and rational utilization of natural resources, and are the most important natural ecosystems, the most unique natural landscapes, the most essential natural heritages, and the richest parts of biodiversity.
The Shennongjia National Park Administration was established in May 2016 and was inaugurated on November 17 of the same year. Vertically managed by Hubei Province, in accordance with the principle of separating government and affairs, it has clarified the division of power with the local government, and achieved the goal of "one brand, one team, one standard" management, and the operation and management are standardized and efficient.
The candidate area of Shennongjia National Park is located at the eastern end of the Qinba Mountains, north to Qingshu Village, Dajiuhu Town, south to Xiangsiling Village, Xiagu Township, west to Dajiuhu Village, Dajiuhu Town, and east to Laojunshan Village, Muyu Town, with a total area of 1,170 square kilometers, accounting for 35% of the total area of Shennongjia Forest Area97%, covering 5 townships and 26 administrative villages.

In terms of geological relics, Shennongjia National Park is a world-class "geological museum" of geological history changes, and it is representative of natural relics. In terms of ecosystem, Shennongjia National Park preserves a rare zonal evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest at the same latitude in the northern hemisphere, has the most complete vertical spectrum of vegetation in the mountains of the northern ** zone, and has the largest area and the highest altitude of the subalpine peat moss swamp wetland in the northern ** zone, which carries the ecological barrier in central China and is representative of the ecosystem. In terms of biodiversity, Shennongjia National Park is a biodiversity enrichment area and species gene bank of global attention, the easternmost population of the world's golden snub-nosed monkey, a refuge for ancient relict and endangered species and a breeding ground for endemic species.
Shennongjia National Park has a forest coverage rate of 96%, and the flagship protected species is the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, with more than 1,470 individuals and a habitat area of 354 square kilometers. It has the most well-preserved primeval forest in the middle latitudes of the world, and the albino animals that are rare in other regions (white bears, white deer, white monkeys, white tigers, white snakes, white roe deer, etc.) are also frequently found in Shennongjia, and "plant living fossils" such as dove tree and fir are rooted in the Shennongjia Mountains.
Bears" infested. Shennongjia has the nickname of "Bear Mountain". The black bear in Shennongjia, whose scientific name is Asiatic black bear, is a national second-class protected animal. Black bears are forest animals, so they are often found in the Shennongjia forest area, where the forest vegetation is dense.

According to expert research, at present, the number of black bears in the candidate area of Shennongjia National Park is about 300. The continuous growth of the number of black bears reflects the better and better ecological environment of the Shennongjia forest area.
In recent years, Shennongjia's awareness of wildlife protection has gradually improved, and the number of black bears in Shennongjia has increased year by year under the good ecological environment and increasingly mature protection mechanism. Through infrared cameras and field research data, it can be found that the frequency of black bears in Shennongjia is increasing, and the distance between black bears and humans is getting closer and closer.
China's model for ecological civilization construction.
The candidate area of Shennongjia National Park will further consolidate the pilot results of the national park system, and promote the construction of the national park in a steady and orderly manner through the implementation of the strictest protection and management, the establishment of a scientific research platform of "two institutes, one room and one library", and the establishment of an ecological compensation mechanism for forest land, so as to build Shennongjia into an international example of biodiversity conservation, a Chinese model for the construction of ecological civilization, and a Hubei model for harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Implement the strictest protection management. Internally, the former Shennongjia National Nature Reserve Administration, Dajiuhu Wetland Park Administration, Shennongjia National Geopark, Shennongjia Forest Area Forestry Administration, some forest farms, national forest parks and other institutions were integrated to form the Shennongjia National Park Administration, effectively solve the problems of overlapping and multi-headed management of protected areas, establish the management system of the management department of the management department, and realize the unified, standardized and efficient flat, grid and hierarchical management. Externally, it took the lead in establishing the "Alliance of Natural Protected Areas Adjacent to Western Hubei and Chongqing", and the protected areas of the seven alliances have achieved joint protection and joint defense in terms of resource protection, forest fire prevention, and crime fighting, forming a pattern of "joint protection and protection" that breaks through the restrictions of administrative divisions.

Coordinate the integrated protection of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses. The Regulations on the Protection of Shennongjia National Park were promulgated and implemented. Optimize the management and protection mechanism, further clarify the protection responsibilities, scope, targets, measures, tasks, objectives and accountability, and establish a long-term mechanism of "strict protection, large-scale scientific research, and full monitoring". Ecological restoration will be carried out, and the construction of biological corridors and the registration of natural resource rights will be confirmed. We have fully implemented the long-term system of rivers and lakes, adhered to the principle of "one river, one policy" and "one lake, one policy", promptly solved the key and difficult problems restricting the water environment, and shut down a total of 15 small hydropower stations. According to the design concept of natural restoration, supplemented by artificial restoration, a total of 25 animal passages were built for mammals and birds.
Set up a research base. We have carried out in-depth teaching Xi and social practice activities in the Xi base for college students, vigorously developed research trips and popular science tourism products for teenagers, and received more than 40,000 research tourists in total.
