What measures can be taken to protect wetlands?
At present, one of our important tasks is to let people know and understand wetlands, and try every means and opportunity to tell the public the important role of wetlands. To do this work well, publicity is very important. At present, in order to implement the spirit of the the State Council Notice and the National Conference on Wetland Protection and Management, and implement the key work of the publicity program, we should focus on several tasks-First, increase the publicity of wetlands. In order to better publicize the wetland protection, we specially issued the "Outline for the Implementation of Document No.50 of the State Council and the Spiritual Publicity of the National Conference on Wetland Protection and Management". After returning, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and relevant units should organize relevant personnel to learn and understand the main contents and key tasks of the publicity outline. All localities should study and formulate the recent wetland protection work plan according to the local actual situation and the content and focus of the publicity outline. The work plan should be practical and operable. The leaders of the forestry departments of several provinces who came to the meeting this time will hold training courses when they come back. You should give lectures in person, tell everyone about the functions and benefits of wetlands, and make clear the importance of protecting wetlands. Our bureau should also organize a publicity group on wetland protection to carry out publicity and education activities in various provinces and cities. The bureau will also publish a book, which will specifically introduce the functions, benefits and great functions of wetlands in China, the achievements and experiences of wetland work, and the major policies of the state to protect wetlands. It is also necessary to run professional wetland publications to introduce wetland protection knowledge and popularize wetland research results. It is necessary to organize large-scale publicity activities in accordance with the publicity outline, and to have typical examples, speak with facts, dissect good examples for publicity and promotion, and expose and criticize bad ones. Efforts should be made to incorporate wetland publicity and education into primary and secondary school textbooks, combine wetland publicity and education with ideological and moral education for minors, and cultivate their awareness of wetland protection from an early age. We should pay attention to several things: first, we should master the correct propaganda ideas. In the past few years, the propaganda work has played a very good role in changing the public's ideological understanding, concept and behavior on wetland protection. When making a work plan according to the propaganda outline, we should aim at the basic problems of wetland protection. In terms of ideological understanding, we should teach people to correctly handle the relationship between protection and utilization, and form the consciousness of protection first and rational utilization in people's minds; It is necessary to publicize the mechanism and laws of wetland protection and let people know that it is illegal to destroy wetlands and damage biodiversity; It is necessary to publicize the functions and benefits of wetlands as a long-term work of wetland publicity. We should pay attention to two aspects: first, leading cadres at all levels. Only when they realize the importance of protecting wetlands can they put wetlands in an important position in ecological protection decision-making at all levels; Grasping the general public and raising the public's awareness of wetland protection will form the mass base of work. Only in this way can the whole society care about and attach importance to wetland work. Second, we should work together to highlight key points. The State Council's notice and the spirit of the national wetland conference, all localities should continue to seriously study and understand. At the same time, according to the requirements of the publicity program and the actual situation of local wetland protection, we should seize the hot and difficult issues of wetland protection and carry out targeted work. After this meeting, the relevant units of the State Forestry Administration should study and formulate the work plan for the implementation of the publicity outline of their own units and departments according to the field and nature of work. Led by the Ministry of Protection, in conjunction with the publicity office and other units to do a good job in the implementation of the publicity plan. During this period, the publicity program was implemented. The Ministry of Protection focuses on policies and regulations, macro-planning, conservation management, wetland engineering and international performances. The Academy of Forestry focuses on the function and benefit of wetlands and the theoretical guidance of wetlands, while the Planning Institute focuses on investigation and monitoring, protection planning, standard system and information exchange. WWF- China Project Office and wetlands international-China Project Office were also invited to continue to focus on international cooperation projects on the basis of good cooperation with our bureau in the past. China Association, Propaganda Department, China Green Times, Green China Magazine and Forestry Society should take the initiative to unite the above units and actively strive for the support of large news organizations. The third is to take various forms. Our wetland protection management department and the Lin family propaganda department should take the initiative to contact local news and propaganda units at all levels to inform the key work of wetland protection. In the form of publicity, don't stick to one model. We can open columns on radio, television, newspapers and the Internet, or publish and broadcast information about wetland protection. In particular, in the near future, we should try to set up a special publicity program on wetland and wildlife protection on CCTV Children's Channel, so that the relevant knowledge of wetland protection can be written into primary and secondary school textbooks, so that the majority of young people can establish a sense of protection from an early age. There are special wetland schools in Beijing to carry out wetland science education. This model is very good and exemplary, and should be popularized. Shenzhen Futian Nature Reserve has incorporated wetland and bird protection knowledge into local primary school textbooks and achieved good results. In view of the emergencies in wetland work, actively publicize and guide good examples to set an example for wetland protection. Expose and analyze bad cases, and use strong public pressure to curb behaviors that are not conducive to wetland protection; Wildlife conservation associations at all levels should make full use of the advantages of good mass base and convenient communication with the international community, introduce the experience and practices of wetland protection in China, and introduce the international advanced concept of wetland protection into China. Second, pay close attention to wetland legislation and establish laws, regulations and policy systems for wetland protection as soon as possible. According to the deployment of wetland conference, all provinces and cities should actively carry out wetland legislation. Strive to include wetland protection legislation in the provincial legislative plan this year and next, do a good job in drafting the draft legislation, and actively carry out legislative research. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths. Heilongjiang, Gansu and other provinces that have issued provincial wetland protection regulations should take strengthening wetland protection law enforcement and carrying out publicity and training as the most important work in the near future, and further strengthen the concept of protecting wetlands according to law. After the completion of wetland legislation, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should start to formulate legislation on important national wetlands and wetland protection areas. National important wetlands should have special management methods, and wetland protection areas should have one area and one law, so as to make wetland protection have rules to follow and laws to follow. Forestry departments at all levels should actively seek the support of local governments, rely on existing laws, regulations and policies related to wetland protection, pay close attention to formulating a policy guarantee system that encourages wetland protection and rational utilization, and restricts the disorderly development of wetlands, and standardize the behavior of wetland protection and utilization. Third, all levels should formulate wetland protection plans as soon as possible. The State Forestry Administration, together with other nine departments, is working out the implementation plan of wetland protection in the near future in a tense and orderly manner according to the deployment of the State Council and the overall requirements of the National Wetland Protection Project Plan, so as to further clarify the objectives, tasks and specific measures of phased construction. This work is expected to be completed this year. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should, in accordance with the objectives, principles, priority projects and key points of construction determined in the National Wetland Protection Project Plan, and in combination with local conditions, pay close attention to formulating local wetland protection plans, make efforts to reserve projects, ensure that local plans are closely linked with national plans, and coordinate with other departments' plans to achieve a national chess game. Provincial local planning, to strive for the approval of the provincial people's government, to ensure that the planning is serious and systematic. Efforts should be made to make plans within this year to ensure that wetland planning investment is included in the local economic and social development plan, especially wetland protection is included in the local investment plan this year and next, and is included in the local "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". Provincial forestry departments should support and encourage the formulation of regional wetland protection plans for important national wetlands and wetland nature reserves above the provincial level within their respective jurisdictions. Do a good job in the protection of important national wetlands and nature reserves above the provincial level, with specific protection plans and feasible protection measures. Only in this way can we grasp the key point of natural wetland protection. Fourth, further find out the status of wetland resources. The first national survey of wetland resources provided us with a good decision-making basis for wetland protection and management, which is of great significance. However, due to various factors, this survey is still relatively macro, and some important biodiversity and protection management information collection is not very comprehensive. Only a single wetland with an area of more than 100 hectare was investigated. According to the national pilot survey of wetland resources carried out in Hainan Province last year, the wetland area between 8 hectares and 100 hectares accounts for more than 20% of the total wetland area in the province, which is very large in the whole country. In addition, although these wetlands are small in area, their ecological benefits and economic potential should not be underestimated, so they should be included in the investigation. If we neglect and relax the protection and management of these small wetlands, we will lose a big position. At present, we should continue to carry out the national wetland survey pilot, form the national wetland survey regulations and technical programs, strive to form a regular survey system, and conduct a general survey of the national wetlands every few years, so as to facilitate our national wetland protection and management. Second, it is necessary to investigate 173 national important wetlands, formulate more detailed and perfect investigation procedures for key wetlands, and master more information about key wetlands. The third is to carry out a special survey of wetlands, to investigate some wetland types that are unique, fragile or rich in biodiversity in China, to provide scientific and reliable basis for the protection and management of these wetlands as soon as possible, and to give priority to the investigation and study of forest wetlands and high-altitude wetlands. We are striving for the support of relevant departments for these tasks and strive to start them in the near future. Fifth, strengthen the protection and management of urban wetlands. The start and development of urban civilization are almost closely related to wetlands, and the continuation of urban civilization will also depend on wetlands. Forestry plays an important role in realizing the historic transformation of ecological construction and promoting the harmonious development between man and nature, and the city is the commanding height to realize the harmonious development between man and nature. Some time ago, we paid attention to and attached importance to the construction of urban gardens and achieved good results. Now, people also realize the important role of wetlands. It can be said that urban gardens are the lungs of cities, and wetlands located in cities should be called the kidneys of cities, which also play an important role. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the protection and restoration of urban wetlands, especially the protection and restoration of ecological functions, which is the key work of urban wetland protection. Now some places are eager to build wetland parks, so we must pay more attention to the protection of wetlands. We shouldn't destroy wetlands because of parks. The construction of these parks must be approved, and our forestry department should pay attention to this work. In addition, on the basis of good protection, we should also study the cultural and landscape value of urban wetlands, give play to the role of wetlands as places for people to rest and entertain, and turn urban wetlands into places for people to receive natural education. It must be noted that cultural entertainment must be combined with the protection and restoration of wetlands to achieve a win-win effect.
