54 TA 4721-PRC: Preparing the Shaanxi-Qinling Mountains Integrated Ecosystem Management Project Final Report Appendix 5 ii. Niubeiliang NNR to Project Area 218. The Nature Reserves Management component of the World Bank FRDP project recommended that Niubeiliang NNR be connected by corridor with Zhouzhi NNR: “The project will also finance the demarcation and revegetation of a 60 km wildlife corridor between the Zhouzi and Niubeiliang Reserves. The corridor is presently uninhabited as a result of the harsh and hilly terrain. For most of its length, a width of 2 kilometers will be adequate to allow animal movements and exchange between the two reserves, but the width of the corridor will be widened at each end where it is crossed by major highways and where habitat continuity is weakest. The exact method of establishment - whether through natural regeneration or reforestation -- will be determined during the preparation of nature reserve management plan.” 219. This proposal was not fully implemented, possibly due to the length of the proposed corridor. However, the corridor proposed to connect Zhouzhi NNR to the Project Area would shorten the proposed World Bank corridor from 60 km to around 45 km because the proposed botanical garden Project Area lies between the two NNRs and would serve as a link connecting the two protected areas. 220. The investment would support updating and/or completing the feasibility study and developing a proposal for review by SFD and SFA to link the reserves. c. Vegetation Restoration 221. In cooperation with QM nature reserves identify tracts where plantations of exotic larch (or other exotic species) have degraded habitat quality for Giant Panda and other globally threatened herbivores; (ii) In cooperation with SFD and QM nature reserves develop a habitat management plan to restore such sites to native vegetation using indigenous species known to provide forage for globally threatened herbivores including Giant Panda and Golden Takin; (iii) Among such indigenous plant species prioritize for planting those that are threatened and/or endemic trees and shrubs ; prioritize by species, location, and micro-habitat (e.g. slope, slope aspect, elevation); (iv) Identify and map sites for planting of bamboo species preferred by Giant Panda; (v) Develop plant nurseries in the Ex-situ area to supply seedlings of threatened endemic trees, shrubs, and bamboos for contract planting and maintenance by residents in the In-Situ area; (vi) Develop funding mechanisms based on earnings from Ex-situ tourism – see Eco-fund and other sustainable livelihood proposals below; (vii) Design and implement a monitoring program to track plant survival, growth, and reproduction. 4. Biodiversity Survey 222. Design and implement (a) a biodiversity inventory of the Project Area and the unprotected gap between the Project Area and Zhouzhi NNR (about 8 x 16 km = 128 km 2 = 12,800 ha) to be carried out by local and regional specialists, mainly those from QM nature reserves; (b) Include interviews with villagers to (i) determine their knowledge of local biota; and (ii) train them in some survey methods such as systematic sampling for key species such as Golden Takin and other threatened species, and Wild Boar. Surveys should include synchronized counts and camera-trapping using digital auto-trigger traps; (c) develop proposals on how this survey method can be tailored and extended to and applied in other parts of the QM. 5. Protected Area Management 223. Longer-term science, research and demonstration on biodiversity, land degradation and rehabilitation, and eco-system trends (single species and communities of plants and animals), water resource management trends and issues (management of riparian systems), recreating lost habitats and representative QM ecosystems to support sustainable livelihoods, and related environmental and sustainable livelihood issues important to the Design and Monitoring Framework for this PA and Project and for subsequent QM projects – applying the Ecological Function Conservation Area (EFCA) approach (see above Section 7.1.3).
TA 4721-PRC: Preparing the Shaanxi-Qinling Mountains Integrated Ecosystem Management Project Final Report Appendix 5 ANNEXES ANNEX 1: REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR BIODIVERSITY AND FOREST CONSERVATION Biodiversity Provisions of the National Constitution Two articles of China's National Constitution address biodiversity conservation: � Article 9 requires that the "State ensure rational utilization of the natural resources, protect rare animals and plants, and prohibit any forms of encroachment and damage of the natural resources by any groups or individuals". This article provides a useful foundation for promulgation of regulations on use of natural resources. � Article 26 dictates that "the State shall protect and improve the people's living environment and ecological environment and control pollution and other public nuisance; organize and encourage afforestation and protection of trees." This article provides for protection and restoration of forests. China Laws Relevant to Biodiversity Protection The laws listed below are relevant to biodiversity protection in China. � Environmental Protection Law (1989) � Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (SEPA 1988) � Fishery Law (1986) � Flood Control Law (1984, amended 1996) � Forest Law (1984) � Grasslands Law (1985) � Plan for National Ecological Environment Construction � Standard for Fisheries Water Quality � Standard for Field Irrigation Water Quality � Supplementary Rules about Punishing Crimes for Hunting Rare and Endangered Wild Animals of National Priority Protection � Water and Soil Conservation Law (1991) � Wild Animals Protection Law (1988) China Administrative Regulations The administrative regulations listed below are relevant to biodiversity protection in China. � River Course Management Regulations � Implementing Regulation of Aquatic Wild Animal Protection � Regulations about Aquatic Resources Conservation (1979) � The State Council's General Order Strictly Protecting Rare Wild Animals (1983) � Temporary Regulations on Management of Scenic Spots (1985) � Regulations for the Implementation of the Forest Law (1986) � Regulations of the Implementation of the Fishery Law (1987) � Regulations about Protection and Administration of Wild Medicinal Material Resources (1987) � Regulations about Control of Forest Fires (1988) � Regulations about Control of Forest Pests (1989) � The State Council's Decision on Further Strengthening Environmental Protection (1990) � Regulations Regarding the Protection of Terrestrial Wild Animals (1992) � Regulations Regarding the Protection of Aquatic Wild Animals (1993) � Regulation Concerning Nature Reserves (State Council, Sep. 1994) � Regulations Concerning Protection of Wild Plants (State Council, Sep. 1996) � The State Council's Decision on Several Environmental Protection Issues (1996) Rules from State Environmental Protection Administration � Notice on Strengthening Ecological Management of Natural Resource Exploitation Activities (1994) � Notice on Strengthening Wetland Conservation (1994) 55
