  It was learnt from the Forestry Bureau of Zixing City that the Dongjiang Lake National Wetland Park (Pilot Project) passed national acceptance inspection and was officially approved as a “national wetland park” by the State Forestry Administration of PRC on January 9.

  Since the approval to initiate pilot project by the State Forestry Administration in November, 2007, Dongjiang Lake National Wetland Park, in accordance with overall planning and principles of “ecology first, scientific restoration, moderate exploitation and rational utilization”, has actively promoted its construction, management and protection. With a total investment of nearly 13 million yuan, it has finished various infrastructure projects including the construction of Wetland Publicity and Education Center, restoration of yellow grass wetland, restoration of bird habitat from Pingshi to Bailang, and refurbishment of six wetland protection management stations in recent years. It has also built 23 large billboards, 156 boundary markers and 13 outdoor billboards.

  Dongjiang Lake National Wetland Park, after passing national acceptance inspection, will play a significant role in improving Zixing’s image and popularity, propelling protection of ecological environment, and promoting tourism, economic and social development.
