34 TA 4721-PRC: Preparing the Shaanxi-Qinling Mountains Integrated Ecosystem Management Project Final Report Appendix 7 � On-going investment and maintenance of the center will be necessary � Not everything can be done at once � Will funding be available to introduce new husbandry techniques at the outset? � There is a need to increase the staff capacity early in the process to achieve international standards 200. During the detailed design the following steps are recommended: � Survey undertaken of the site � SARC staff to develop Institutional Collection Plan � Support facilities identified � International design experts identified � A business plan developed for the center that considers commercial opportunities and maintenance costs 201. The scale of the new center will put considerable strain on resources during planning, construction and site preparation and management which could put at risk the successful completion of the project. The senior staff at SARC have done a great job to pull together a very exciting and ambitious plan for the center which can only compliment the plans for the satellite centers. Bringing forward the development of the animal exposition will enable the center to meet international standards early in the program, giving reassurance of success for the longer term program. 202. The center has the potential to become one of the most important sites for biodiversity conservation in the province and nationally. The combination of wildlife rescue, conservation breeding, research and education on one site provides an unusual resource for visitors and wildlife professionals. It will support the National Conservation Strategy and Action Plan of the Convention of Biological Diversity. 203. A center of this standard has the potential to attract international partners which could enable an exciting future for the center in their efforts for wildlife conservation. 204. The following table summarizes the major activities based on the Chinese FS (May 2007). Table 11: SARC Description of Interest Major Activities 1. Giant Panda breeding and raising base – to be located adjacent to the proposed Takin Satellite Area will have an area of 500 mu (33 ha) with slopes up to 20-35 degrees. Area offers a good natural environment, good vegetation, abundant water supply, a temperate climate and adequate space for breading and research – and fits the physical living conditions of Giant Panda in terms of landform, slope and so on. Being close to the road, the site as well has good access to transportation, communication and power supply systems. Officially listed as a key investment project in the National Government’s 11th FYP 2. Crested Ibis breeding and raising base – to be located near Xilou Village, Louguan Township to the west of the current SARC site in the ex-situ Zone B on the west bank of the Jiyu River. Phase on is to be built on an area of 300 mu (20 ha), which is a well-forested area on a 35 degree slope with 4 ha of flatland under the slope which can be rebuilt into wetland with irrigation facilities from the Jiyu River for feeding – and with little human activity and with convenient transportation. Already approved by the State Forestry Administration. 3. Golden monkey breeding and raising base – to be located in the Dongguayu Valley to the south of the center; this area is a small valley of 15-25 degrees slope, with an area of 150 mu (10 ha), of which 90 mu are Chinese pine forest in the valley bottom and sides. The site is capable of raising 30 golden monkeys. 4. Rare wild animal rescue district – where the saved and accepted animals are rescued, treated, quarantined, and cared for; district consists of the animal hospital and the rescue and quarantine center; the animal hospital is located in the northeast corner of the current center while the rescue and quarantine center is located in the northwest corner. 5. Animal Exposition Area – where a limited number of non-breeding animals will be housed for public education and display purposes. The exposition area will be upgraded and enhanced to be the leading animal display site in China and will play an important role in providing a substantially higher income base for the QBNBG 6. Phase one upgrade of existing animal exhibition area of 6ha to meet international standards 7. Resettlement 8. Environmental Protection 9. Food/Forage Base – comprised of a plantation area for food for vegetarian animals like giant panda and golden monkey, and a feeding garden where food animals for Crested Ibis are raised.

Detailed Design Costs Notes to Table 11: 1. Recurrent costs are included in the SARC construction costs as staff costs. After 2010, based on the SARC financial projections, operating costs, including maintenance and overheads, will be covered by SARC revenues. d. Revenue Projections and Financial Analysis 205. The projected attendance figures are based upon the assumptions in Table 12 and include a 10% factor for nonpaying or official visitors due to the iconic nature of giant Panda and the Crested Ibis. Table 12: Assumptions for Visitor and Revenue Projections The attendance for the three attraction in 2011 is 280,000. In the first 5 year period from 2011 to 2016, the annual growth rate peaks and decreases gradually. The attendance of Crested Ibis in 2010 is 266,000. 10 % of tourists will be free guests Panda Entry Fee 55 CNY Crested Ibis Entry Fee 50 CNY Golden Monkey Entry Fee 30 CNY 206. The SARC Design Team projects attendance to start at a fairly low level and then to grow quite rapidly through the early years of the projection period. Therefore, this attendance forecast is used for the analysis. However the SARC prices were adjusted downward to be consistent with market studies to be consistent with market research and to provide a conservative base to the overall assessment. The SARC strategy envisages that all visitors to the SARC Animal Exhibition Center/Zoo would also visit the breeding centers for the three species and the animal exposition center. Visitation numbers are presented in Table 13.
