Directory of Protected Areas in East Asia: People, Organisations and Places Name Latitude/Longitude Area (ha) Date of inscription Zhalong 47°15’N/124°15’E 210,000 1992 Principal Features: A vast complex of permanent and seasonal freshwater marshes (max. water depth 0.75m) with numerous shallow lakes and ponds (max. water depth 5m) and extensive Phragmites beds (40,000ha), in the lower drainage basin of the river Wuyur (Ulun). The site also includes grassland and cultivated land (20,000ha) with some areas of dyked fishponds. Extensive flooding of the marshes and surrounding land occurs during the rainy season in spring and summer. The area is important for breeding birds. The marsh supports a rich flora; more than 500 species of plant have been recorded. Conservation Issues: The wetland can be divided into three regions: Lindian Reed Farm in the northeast, the Qiqihar area in the northwest, and the Taikong area in the south, all of which are dependent on water from the river Wuyur. However, the river has been dammed just as it enters the wetland, forming a reservoir (Dung Sheng Reservoir), the outflow from which is controlled by a Water Bureau who charge each of the three regions for water. Fishing is banned throughout the site between mid-May and mid-June, but intensive fishing during the rest of the year has seriously depleted fish stocks. Reed harvesting provides a major source of local and regional income, with about 80% of the marsh being cleared of reeds in the winter. The lack of water in the Qiqihar region has resulted in a depletion of the reed harvest. Improper management of water resources, human disturbance and excessive reed collection are having negative effects on bird populations, particularly cranes (Gruidae). However, any further human settlement, agricultural expansion or housing developments within the site are prohibited, and hunting is banned throughout the area. There is an education centre, research/administrative centre, and a captive-breeding centre where Grus japonensis and G. vipio have been reared successfully and released into the wild.
