Propose measures for enhancing ec<strong>on</strong>omical and social development of<br />

communities in areas adjacent to nature reserves.<br />

Undertake pilot dem<strong>on</strong>strati<strong>on</strong> projects.<br />

Project 24: Alternative livelihood dem<strong>on</strong>strati<strong>on</strong> in ecologically fragile areas in<br />

Northwest China<br />

C<strong>on</strong>tent: The project (with durati<strong>on</strong> of 5 years) will<br />

<br />

<br />

Select 3-4 critically ecologically fragile areas in Northwest China to change<br />

local producti<strong>on</strong> patterns and life styles in line with local c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s by<br />

promoting practical technologies such as household use of biogas, ecological<br />

farming, eco-tourism, rotati<strong>on</strong>al grazing of grasslands, artificial grassland<br />

c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>, c<strong>on</strong>finement rearing and farm breeding.<br />

Improve the living standards of local farmers and herdsmen while c<strong>on</strong>serving<br />

biodiversity.<br />

Project 25: Establishment of a system for ex-situ c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong> of biological<br />

resources<br />

C<strong>on</strong>tent: The project (with durati<strong>on</strong> of 10 years) will<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Survey, systemize, collect and catalogue species c<strong>on</strong>served ex-situ of animals,<br />

plants, microorganisms and aquatic species (including marine species).<br />

Rati<strong>on</strong>ally plan the number, distributi<strong>on</strong> and scale of ex-situ c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong><br />

facilities.<br />

Establish a database and dynamic m<strong>on</strong>itoring system as well as a system for<br />

ex-situ c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong> of biological resources.<br />

Fully c<strong>on</strong>serve and use major species c<strong>on</strong>served ex-situ by improving the<br />

functi<strong>on</strong>s of gene banks.<br />

Project 26: Agricultural germplasm resources collecti<strong>on</strong> and preservati<strong>on</strong><br />

C<strong>on</strong>tent: The project (with durati<strong>on</strong> of 10 years) will<br />

<br />

Undertake a rescue collecti<strong>on</strong> of wild and rare germplasm resources<br />
