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 />
distributed in undeveloped, remote areas with harsh natural envir<strong>on</strong>ment and<br />
poor road access, and of some germplasm resources urgently needed for seed<br />
cultivati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
