The "growing" world natural heritage of the Yangtze River -Reporter hike 11 kilometers to find the ecological "password"

In the early morning of the summer, Chongqing Wulipo National Nature Reserve surrounded by clouds, and the sound of birds broke the tranquility of the forest. After the rising sun dispels the clouds, it is obliquely on the cliffs of the canyon.

It is located in the Wulipo National Nature Reserve in the northeast of Wushan County, Chongqing City. It covers an area of ​​352 square kilometers and is connected to the Shennong Forest Forest area of ​​Hubei. The reserves are densely covered in the area, the mountains are undulating, and there are rich wild animals and plant resources. However, because Shennongjia is too famous, Wulipo once "hidden in the deep girlfriend."

On July 28, 2021, Chongqing Wulipo National Nature Reserve made a fine -tuning process through boundaries and officially became a part of the world's natural heritage "Hubei Shennongjia". The ecosystem and biological diversity of Shennongjia's heritage were further extended and supplemented. The mysterious veil of Wulipo was gradually unveiled.

"It is not easy to become a world natural heritage land. Government, protected areas, and villagers have done a lot of things." Said Zhang Ke Tai, a staff member who has worked in the protected area for 20 years, said that more than 10 years ago, there was a "unmanned area". State -owned forest farms and more than 2,000 people of temples. As the ecological protection of the Yangtze River increased, the state -owned forest farm was withdrawn, and the staff of the forest farm transferred from a logging land to the management of the forest, and the temple township also implemented the ecological relocation of the township. Since then, other township villages have gradually withdrawn from the mountain villages within Wulipo, and it has gradually become a place where people are inaccessible.

The rugged trail followed by the cliff and the Shun Canyon is the "sheep intestine" stepped out of the local villagers from generation to generation. Some sections are still faintly visible to the traces of "knife and ax", but more sections have been blocked by plants. There is no "figure". Zhang Ketai told reporters that while patrolling the "sheep intestine", he often saw the traces left on the mountains such as wild boars on the mountain roads. There are also great cats, black bears, and golden monkeys on the mountain forests on both sides of the canyon.

The 50 -year -old "guide" Luo Youxiong is a native of Lihe Village, Dangyang Township, Wushan County. "In the past, I entered and leaving the village all relied on this' sheep intestine '. I love and hate this road." Luo Youxiong said, "I love this road to hold my hometown, hate the bitter life of Shenshan Village,' Sheep The intestine is difficult to do. "

"Dashan trapped people, and people also disturbed Aoyama, but limited to historical conditions, unable to crack the difficulties." Zhao Gang, secretary of the party committee of Yangxiang Township, said that 5 years ago, through the Dongfeng of poverty alleviation and ecological protection, Lihe Village 200 Several villagers moved out of Dashan, "people retreat 'green', villagers' lives improved, Dashan ecological restoration, and win -win."

Mid -way, resting on the mountain stream, the reporter took a handful of streams and took a sip, cool and sweet. "The environment is much better than before." Luo Youxiong said that although it rained last night, the river was still clear, and the stream was so bad after the rain.

Walking and stopping, the reporter saw along the way that the forests in the canyon were lush, the sound of flowing water in the mountains, and the slope of the forest back to the forest is full of green.

"Earlier, the protected area has been facing the problem of how man and nature get along. It is gratifying that as the ecological concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the relationship between people and nature is becoming more and more harmonious." More than 200 infrared cameras have also captured the figures of endangered wild animals such as golden cats and leopards.

Benefiting from the barrier effects of Qinling, Daba Mountain, and Wushan Mountains, many rare and plants "live" in this ecological mystery, and Wulipo has also become a rare natural biological allele in the southwestern region of my country. At present, there have been 3001 types of vascular plants and 447 vertebrates, including rare endangered or unique wild animals such as spots, forest musk and golden monkeys.

In recent years, more than 30,000 ecological immigrants in Wushan have reached more than 30,000, and more and more places that are not suitable for living have become "uninhabited areas". They have played a role in protecting and raising water and soil in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"In the past, nature gave people a place to live, and now it is a place for nature to give nature. The Wulipo National Nature Reserve is included in the World Natural Heritage Land, and the Wushan Ecological Protection 'New Chapter" has opened. "Cao Bangxing, Secretary of the Wushan County Party Committee.
