摘要
湿地公园是指生态旅游和生态环境教育功能的湿地景观区域兼有物种及其栖息地保护。它的特点是湿地景观典型,自然风景优美,可供人们观赏、旅游、娱乐、休息或进行科学、文化、教育活动。湿地公园的宗旨是,科学合理地利用湿地资源,充分发挥湿地的生态、经济和社会效益,为人们提供游憩和享受优美的自然景观的场所。发展建设湿地公园,既有利于调动社会力量参与湿地保护与可持续利用,又有利于充分发挥湿地多种功能效益,同时满足公众需求和社会经济发展的要求,通过社会的参与和科学的经营管理,达到保护湿地生态系统、维持湿地多种效益持续发挥的目标。对改善区域生态状况,促进经济社会可持续发展,实现人与自然和谐共处都具有十分重要的意义。目前,我国湿地公园建设处于初始阶段。规划建设湿地公园是一项新的工作,牵涉面广,政策性强,我们既要大胆实践,又要积极稳妥地做好各项工作,使之统筹有序,积极健康的发展。
Wetlands are natural landscapes with some of the richest biodiversity on the earth, they are also crucial environments for human development and survival. Wetland conservation and management in China has made outstanding advances in recent years through the support and concern of the government at all levels. The Government of China has taken a series of important measures to protect wetlands, including the implementation of the China Wetlands Conservation Action Plan, the completion of a national wetlands survey and the implementation of a National Wetlands Conservation Programme. The State Council has issued a “Notice to Reinforce Wetlands Conservation and Management” and the State Forestry Administration has organized a national wetlands meeting to bring together all stakeholders to carry out this Notice. Implementation of related laws, regulations and policies, as well as funds, should ensure that wetlands can be managed effectively. So far 353 wetland nature reserves have been established in the country, 30 are recognized as Sites of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. The total area of wetlands in China is 55 420 000 ha and it is planned that by 2010 up to 40% of natural wetlands and 33 rare species will be protected. These measures indicate that wetland conservation in China has moved onto a new level. The core issue however can be summarized as the need for wise use and conservation of wetlands. The concept of wetland parks have become a hot topic in China and it is commonly believed that wetland parks could provide good examples of the Ramsar Convention＇s principle for wise use of natural resources. The lessons learned and experiences of establishing wetland parks in countries such as USA, UK, Japan, Australia and Malaysia can be beneficial to China. With rapid social and economic development in China, living conditions have been greatly improved, and especially so in the developed eastern regions. Some wetland parks have been established in Fujian, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, Hong Kong and Shangdong. Generally speaking, establishment of wetland parks is quite a new topic in China, we therefore need to plan carefully and step boldly if we are to enable these developments to succeed.
