Economic Observer Network NewsAccording to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, March 3 this year is the 11th World Wildlife Day, and the theme of my country is "building a smart wildlife protection system". In recent years, China has accelerated the construction of a smart wildlife protection system, which has provided important support for the protection of wild animals and plants, and the number of rare and endangered species has increased steadily.
China is one of the countries with the richest biodiversity in the world, and in recent years, it has provided important support for the conservation of wild animals and plants by building a smart wildlife protection system. The application of digital high-tech means such as intelligent digital monitoring system, far-infrared camera, big data + Internet of Things, and species AI identification has effectively strengthened the standardized management of the import and export of species listed in the appendix of the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and the List of Wild Animals and Plants under National Key Protection, improved the efficiency of daily patrol and monitoring and protection of wild animals and plants, blocked the illegal trade of wild animals and plants on the Internet, narrowed the distance between the public and wild animals and plants, and promoted the protection of key wild animals and plants. High-quality development of forest and grassland governance system and governance capacity.
With the continuous construction and improvement of the intelligent protection system for wild animals and plants, the number of rare and endangered species has increased steadily. The total wild population of giant pandas has grown from about 1,100 in the 80s of the 20th century to nearly 1,900. The wild population of Hainan gibbons has grown from 2 groups and less than 10 individuals 40 years ago to 6 groups and 37 individuals now. The number of crested ibises has increased from 7 at the beginning of the discovery to more than 10,000. The wild population of Asian elephants has increased from more than 150 to more than 300. The wild population of Tibetan antelopes has recovered from 60,000-70,000 at the end of the 90s of the 20th century to more than 300,000. Wild Panzhihua cycads from the 20th century ** 2340,000 plants increased to the current 3850,000 plants, becoming the northernmost natural distribution latitude, the highest altitude, the largest area, the largest number of plants, and the most concentrated distribution of natural cycad community in Eurasia. At the same time, we continued to carry out the field reintroduction of 206 endangered plants such as Debao cycad, apricot yellow orchid, primrose moss, and pig's blood wood, and realized the management and monitoring of many species such as Huagai and Yunnan blue fruit trees. Canopy wood increased from 6 to 1More than 50,000 plants. There were only 3 remaining plants of Baishanzu fir when it was discovered, and more than 4,000 have been returned to the wild. When it was discovered, there was only one plant of Putuo hornbeam, and tens of thousands of artificial seedlings have been cultivated, and more than 4,000 plants have been returned to the wild.
In the next step, China will continue to promote the establishment of a metadata integration led by science and technology, supported by Internet technology and computer technology, with background data, habitat data, and protection data as the core, and establish a whole-process and integrated intelligent protection system.
