Wenzhou Netcom recently, Zhejiang Uyan Ridge National Nature Reserve in the rare and endangered plant breeding base was officially built for investment, in the elevation of more than 1000 meters in the base, has been gold wire orchid, southern Taxus and other 11 kinds of rare and endangered plants in this home.

"These countries, Class II conservation plant bean root, it took me more than half a month to run the seven or eight Lamaxigou in the reserve before I collected it."Zhejiang Uyan Ridge National Nature Reserve Management Center double Hang Hau Protection Station deputy Stationmaster Liu Xi to collect the" baby "such as, and he to these precious plants a look at the" eyes ", is more than 5 years for more than 1600 kinds of plants archived inventory practice.

According to statistics, in the total area of 18861.5 hectares of Uyan Ridge Nature Reserve, there are currently more than 2000 species of registered plants, of which 26 species of national key protection plants. Rare and endangered plant protection is a tedious system engineering, from cross-temporal seed harvesting, precision breeding, to put back into the mountains, every step needs to be fully demonstrated, research, invest a lot of time and energy. Liu Xi said that the collection of plant Germplasm resources alone is faced with a variety of problems: not only the same plant to go to many places to seed harvesting, to ensure the diversity of genes, seed harvesting but also to see "fate", sometimes a plant seed collection may take 2 years, 3 years or more.

It is gratifying to date that the growth status of 11 rare and endangered plant seedlings in the base is good at present. This fall, staff will choose some of the sturdy seedlings to migrate to the wild, when the Uyan Ridge Nature Reserve will add green, further improve the plant population quantity and quality.

Reporter learned that the Uyan Ridge Protected Area ecosystem structure is complete, there are 70 national key protection of flora and fauna, known as the "Green Ecology Museum" and "natural biological seed gene pool." In recent years, Taishun County developed the country's first county-level biodiversity conservation Strategy and action plan, carried out the construction of China's Norwegian Biodiversity International project, and pilot hunting system reform in the province, the Hunting team and wildlife protection team "into a", to create a biodiversity conservation and development of the "Mountain Sample."
