Preface
“生物多樣性”是生物(動物、植物、微生物)與環(huán)境形成的生態(tài)復(fù)合體以及與此相關(guān)的各種生態(tài)過程的總和,包括生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、物種和基因三個層次。生物多樣性關(guān)系人類福祉,是人類賴以生存和發(fā)展的重要基礎(chǔ)。人類必須尊重自然、順應(yīng)自然、保護(hù)自然,加大生物多樣性保護(hù)力度,促進(jìn)人與自然和諧共生。
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living species (plants, animals and microorganisms) in their natural environments and the aggregate of the related ecological processes. It is measured on three levels: genes, species and ecosystems. Biodiversity is the basis for human survival and development and has a direct bearing on our wellbeing. Humans must respect nature and follow its ways. We must conserve biodiversity to protect nature and live in harmony with it.
1972年,聯(lián)合國召開人類環(huán)境會議,與會各國共同簽署了《人類環(huán)境宣言》,生物資源保護(hù)被列入二十六項原則之中。1993年,《生物多樣性公約》正式生效,公約確立了保護(hù)生物多樣性、可持續(xù)利用其組成部分以及公平合理分享由利用遺傳資源而產(chǎn)生的惠益三大目標(biāo),全球生物多樣性保護(hù)開啟了新紀(jì)元。
In 1972, at the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the attending nations signed the Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, which included the conservation of bio-resources in its 26 principles. In 1993, the Convention on Biological Diversity came into effect, which set three objectives – the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources, ushering in a new era for the protection of global biodiversity.
中國幅員遼闊,陸海兼?zhèn)洌孛埠蜌夂驈?fù)雜多樣,孕育了豐富而又獨特的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、物種和遺傳多樣性,是世界上生物多樣性最豐富的國家之一。中國的傳統(tǒng)文化積淀了豐富的生物多樣性智慧,“天人合一”“道法自然”“萬物平等”等思想和理念體現(xiàn)了樸素的生物多樣性保護(hù)意識。作為最早簽署和批準(zhǔn)《生物多樣性公約》的締約方之一,中國一貫高度重視生物多樣性保護(hù),不斷推進(jìn)生物多樣性保護(hù)與時俱進(jìn)、創(chuàng)新發(fā)展,取得顯著成效,走出了一條中國特色生物多樣性保護(hù)之路。
China’s land and sea territories are both vast; its complex terrain and diverse climate gave birth to unique ecosystems, abundant species, and rich genetic variety. As one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, China has a profound understanding of biodiversity, as manifest in traditional Chinese culture and these aphorisms: “Man is an integral part of nature”; “Dao follows the laws of nature”; and “All beings are equal”. China, as one of the first countries to sign and approve the Convention on Biological Diversity, has always attached great importance to biodiversity conservation and preserves biodiversity with creative and up-to-date measures, achieving substantial progress on a distinctively Chinese path of conservation.
中共十八大以來,在習(xí)近平生態(tài)文明思想引領(lǐng)下,中國堅持生態(tài)優(yōu)先、綠色發(fā)展,生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)法律體系日臻完善、監(jiān)管機制不斷加強、基礎(chǔ)能力大幅提升,生物多樣性治理新格局基本形成,生物多樣性保護(hù)進(jìn)入新的歷史時期。當(dāng)前,全球物種滅絕速度不斷加快,生物多樣性喪失和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)退化對人類生存和發(fā)展構(gòu)成重大風(fēng)險。2020年9月30日,習(xí)近平主席在聯(lián)合國生物多樣性峰會上指出,要站在對人類文明負(fù)責(zé)的高度,探索人與自然和諧共生之路,凝聚全球治理合力,提升全球環(huán)境治理水平。中國將秉持人類命運共同體理念,繼續(xù)為全球環(huán)境治理貢獻(xiàn)力量。
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, China has been prioritizing eco-environmental progress and pursuing green development under the guidance of Xi Jinping thought on eco-civilization. A new pattern of biodiversity conservation has largely taken shape, with improvements to the legal system, supervision mechanisms and governing capacity for eco-conservation, marking the beginning of a new era for biodiversity conservation in China. Currently, as species worldwide are becoming extinct at an alarming rate, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation pose a major risk to human survival and development. On September 30, 2020, at the United Nations Summit on Biodiversity, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out that the whole of humanity needs to take on its pressing responsibilities, find a way for human and nature to coexist in harmony, and build synergy for and enhance global governance on the environment. Guided by the vision of building a global community of shared future, China will continue to contribute its part to global environmental governance.
為介紹中國生物多樣性保護(hù)理念和實踐,增進(jìn)國際社會對中國生物多樣性保護(hù)的了解,特發(fā)布本白皮書。
The Chinese government is publishing this white paper to present China’s ideas, plans and actions on biodiversity conservation, and share its progress with the international community.
一、秉持人與自然和諧共生理念
I. Harmony Between Humanity and Nature
中國生物多樣性保護(hù)以建設(shè)美麗中國為目標(biāo),積極適應(yīng)新形勢新要求,不斷加強和創(chuàng)新生物多樣性保護(hù)舉措,持續(xù)完善生物多樣性保護(hù)體制,努力促進(jìn)人與自然、人與人、人與社會和諧共生、良性循環(huán)、全面發(fā)展、持續(xù)繁榮。
To realize the Beautiful China initiative under a new situation, China is improving the measures for biodiversity conservation and creating new frameworks for this purpose. In its pursuit of harmony between humanity and nature, between individuals, and between the individual and society, China endeavors to create a virtuous circle for all-round development and prolonged prosperity for all.
面對全球生物多樣性喪失和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)退化,中國秉持人與自然和諧共生理念,堅持保護(hù)優(yōu)先、綠色發(fā)展,形成了政府主導(dǎo)、全民參與,多邊治理、合作共贏的機制,推動中國生物多樣性保護(hù)不斷取得新成效,為應(yīng)對全球生物多樣性挑戰(zhàn)作出新貢獻(xiàn)。
In addressing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, China upholds the philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, prioritizing biodiversity conservation and seeking green development. It has established conservation mechanisms led by the government and featuring multilateral governance and win-win cooperation, in which all citizens participate. This way, China keeps making progress and contributing to efforts in global biodiversity conservation.
——堅持尊重自然、保護(hù)優(yōu)先。牢固樹立尊重自然、順應(yīng)自然、保護(hù)自然的理念,在社會發(fā)展中優(yōu)先考慮生物多樣性保護(hù),以生態(tài)本底和自然稟賦為基礎(chǔ),科學(xué)配置自然和人工保護(hù)修復(fù)措施,對重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、生物物種及遺傳資源實施有效保護(hù),保障生態(tài)安全和生物安全。
– Respecting nature and prioritizing biodiversity conservation. China follows the principles of respecting and protecting nature and obeying nature’s laws, and prioritizes biodiversity conservation in social development. Given its eco-environment and natural resources, China has balanced its natural and artificial measures for the conservation and restoration of important ecosystems, species and genetic resources, to ensure ecological security and biological security.
——堅持綠色發(fā)展、持續(xù)利用。踐行“綠水青山就是金山銀山”理念,將生物多樣性作為可持續(xù)發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ)、目標(biāo)和手段,科學(xué)、合理和可持續(xù)利用生物資源,給自然生態(tài)留下休養(yǎng)生息的時間和空間,推動生產(chǎn)和生活方式的綠色轉(zhuǎn)型和升級,從保護(hù)自然中尋找發(fā)展機遇,實現(xiàn)生物多樣性保護(hù)和經(jīng)濟高質(zhì)量發(fā)展雙贏。
– Seeking green development and sustainable utilization of bio-resources. China cherishes the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and sees biodiversity as the foundation, objective and means of sustainable development. It has endeavored to promote the efficient and sustainable utilization of bio-resources, to allow nature to restore itself. It promotes green ways of life and work, and seeks development opportunities while preserving nature, to achieve win-win results in both biodiversity conservation and high-quality development.
——堅持制度先行、統(tǒng)籌推進(jìn)。不斷強化生物多樣性保護(hù)國家戰(zhàn)略地位,長遠(yuǎn)謀劃頂層設(shè)計,分級落實主體責(zé)任,建立健全政府主導(dǎo)、企業(yè)行動和公眾參與的生物多樣性保護(hù)長效機制。強化中國生物多樣性保護(hù)國家委員會統(tǒng)籌協(xié)調(diào)作用,持續(xù)完善生物多樣性保護(hù)、可持續(xù)利用和惠益分享相關(guān)法律法規(guī)和政策制度,構(gòu)建生物多樣性保護(hù)和治理新格局。
– Enhancing institutional guarantee and coordinating actions for biodiversity conservation. China has strengthened biodiversity conservation as a national strategy through long-range planning and top-level design, specifying the primary responsibilities at all levels, and improving long-term conservation mechanisms led by the government and facilitated by enterprises with public participation. The China National Committee for Biodiversity Conservation (CNCBC) has taken on a stronger coordinating role. Constant efforts have been made to improve laws, regulations and policies concerning biodiversity conservation, sustainable utilization of bio-resources, and fair and equitable sharing of benefits. All the above efforts are aimed at building a new model for biodiversity conservation and governance.
——堅持多邊主義、合作共贏。加強生物多樣性保護(hù),促進(jìn)人與自然和諧共生,已成為國際交流對話的重要內(nèi)容。中國堅定支持生物多樣性多邊治理體系,切實履行《生物多樣性公約》及其他相關(guān)環(huán)境條約義務(wù),積極承擔(dān)與發(fā)展水平相稱的國際責(zé)任,向其他發(fā)展中國家提供力所能及的援助,不斷深化生物多樣性領(lǐng)域交流合作,攜手應(yīng)對全球生物多樣性挑戰(zhàn),為實現(xiàn)人與自然和諧共生美好愿景發(fā)揮更大作用。
– Upholding multilateralism and win-win cooperation. Living in harmony with nature through greater efforts on biodiversity conservation becomes an important topic for international exchanges and dialogue. China firmly supports a multilateral biodiversity governance system, fulfills its obligations prescribed in the Convention on Biological Diversity and other environmental treaties, and takes on international responsibilities commensurate to its development stage. China has been providing assistance within its ability to other developing countries, and strengthening exchanges and cooperation on biodiversity to jointly meet global challenges. It endeavors to play a greater role in realizing the vision of harmony between humanity and nature.
二、提高生物多樣性保護(hù)成效
II. Increasing the Efficiency of Biodiversity Conservation
中國堅持在發(fā)展中保護(hù)、在保護(hù)中發(fā)展,提出并實施國家公園體制建設(shè)和生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線劃定等重要舉措,不斷強化就地與遷地保護(hù),加強生物安全管理,持續(xù)改善生態(tài)環(huán)境質(zhì)量,協(xié)同推進(jìn)生物多樣性保護(hù)與綠色發(fā)展,生物多樣性保護(hù)取得顯著成效。
China advances biodiversity conservation and development in parallel. It has proposed and implemented measures such as building the national parks system and setting ecological conservation red lines (ECRLs), strengthened in-situ and ex-situ conservation, reinforced biological security management, improved the eco-environment, and coordinated the conservation of biodiversity with green development, thereby making significant gains in protecting biodiversity.
(一)優(yōu)化就地保護(hù)體系
1. Optimizing In-situ Conservation
中國不斷推進(jìn)自然保護(hù)地建設(shè),啟動國家公園體制試點,構(gòu)建以國家公園為主體的自然保護(hù)地體系,率先在國際上提出和實施生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線制度,明確了生物多樣性保護(hù)優(yōu)先區(qū)域,保護(hù)了重要自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)和生物資源,在維護(hù)重要物種棲息地方面發(fā)揮了積極作用。
China is setting up protected areas (PAs) and opening national parks on a trial basis, to create a PA framework with a focus on national parks. It was the first in the world to propose and implement the red line strategy for ecological conservation, and has designated priority areas in biodiversity conservation. These measures have contributed to the conservation of key natural ecosystems, biological resources, and habitats for key species.
構(gòu)建以國家公園為主體的自然保護(hù)地體系。自1956年建立第一個自然保護(hù)區(qū)以來,截至目前,中國已建立各級各類自然保護(hù)地近萬處,約占陸域國土面積的18%。近年來,中國積極推動建立以國家公園為主體、自然保護(hù)區(qū)為基礎(chǔ)、各類自然公園為補充的自然保護(hù)地體系,為保護(hù)棲息地、改善生態(tài)環(huán)境質(zhì)量和維護(hù)國家生態(tài)安全奠定基礎(chǔ)。2015年以來,先后啟動三江源等10處國家公園體制試點,整合相關(guān)自然保護(hù)地劃入國家公園范圍,實行統(tǒng)一管理、整體保護(hù)和系統(tǒng)修復(fù)。通過構(gòu)建科學(xué)合理的自然保護(hù)地體系,90%的陸地生態(tài)系統(tǒng)類型和71%的國家重點保護(hù)野生動植物物種得到有效保護(hù)。野生動物棲息地空間不斷拓展,種群數(shù)量不斷增加。大熊貓野外種群數(shù)量40年間從1114只增加到1864只,朱鹮由發(fā)現(xiàn)之初的7只增長至目前野外種群和人工繁育種群總數(shù)超過5000只,亞洲象野外種群數(shù)量從上世紀(jì)80年代的180頭增加到目前的300頭左右,海南長臂猿野外種群數(shù)量從40年前的僅存兩群不足10只增長到五群35只。
Developing a PA system with a focus on national parks. Since 1956 when the first nature reserve was set up, China has established close to 10,000 PAs of all types and at all levels, accounting for about 18 percent of its total land area. In recent years, it has built a PA system with national parks as the mainstay, supported by nature reserves and supplemented by nature parks, laying the foundation for protecting natural habitats, improving the eco-environment, and protecting ecological security in the country. Since 2015, it has launched on a trial basis 10 national parks, including one at Sanjiangyuan, the cradle of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. The relevant PAs have been integrated into these national parks under unified management, comprehensive protection and systematic restoration.
The well-planned PA system has brought 90 percent of terrestrial ecosystem types and 71 percent of key state-protected wildlife species under effective protection. The habitats for wild animals have been expanding and their populations are growing. The population of giant pandas in the wild has grown from 1,114 to 1,864 over the past four decades. The crested ibis population has increased from only 7 to over 5,000, with both wild species and artificial breeds counted. The Asian elephant population in the wild has grown from 180 in the 1980s to about 300 at present. The wild population of Hainan Gibbon has increased from no more than 10 in two groups 40 years ago to 35 in 5 groups.
劃定并嚴(yán)守生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線。生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線是中國國土空間規(guī)劃和生態(tài)環(huán)境體制機制改革的重要制度創(chuàng)新。中國創(chuàng)新生態(tài)空間保護(hù)模式,將具有生物多樣性維護(hù)等生態(tài)功能極重要區(qū)域和生態(tài)極脆弱區(qū)域劃入生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線,進(jìn)行嚴(yán)格保護(hù)。初步劃定的生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線,集中分布于青藏高原、天山山脈、內(nèi)蒙古高原、大小興安嶺、秦嶺、南嶺,以及黃河流域、長江流域、海岸帶等重要生態(tài)安全屏障和區(qū)域。生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線涵蓋森林、草原、荒漠、濕地、紅樹林、珊瑚礁及海草床等重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng),覆蓋全國生物多樣性分布的關(guān)鍵區(qū)域,保護(hù)絕大多數(shù)珍稀瀕危物種及其棲息地。中國“劃定生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線,減緩和適應(yīng)氣候變化”行動倡議,入選聯(lián)合國“基于自然的解決方案”全球15個精品案例。生態(tài)保護(hù)紅線的劃定與生物多樣性保護(hù)具有高度的戰(zhàn)略契合性、目標(biāo)協(xié)同性和空間一致性,將有效提升生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務(wù)功能,維護(hù)國家生態(tài)安全及經(jīng)濟社會可持續(xù)發(fā)展所必需的最基本生態(tài)空間。
Setting and applying red lines for ecological conservation. Setting ECRLs is an important institutional innovation in China’s land use planning and eco-environmental reform. China employs this innovative model to bring essential ecological functional areas for biodiversity conservation and the most ecologically fragile regions under the ECRLs and apply stringent conservation measures to them. The areas initially defined under the initiative are mainly distributed across China’s ecological security barriers and areas such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tianshan Mountains, Inner Mongolian Plateau, Greater and Lesser Xing’an Mountains, Qinling Mountains, Nanling Mountains, Yellow River Basin, Yangtze River Basin, and coastal zones. At present, they cover various important ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, mangrove forests, coral reefs and sea grass beds across key regions of biodiversity all over the country, bringing most rare and endangered species and their habitats under protection.
China’s proposal – Drawing a “Red Line” for Ecological Protection to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change – has been selected by the UN as one of the 15 best Nature-based Solutions around the globe. Drawing ECRLs and biodiversity protection are strategies for the same goals in the same areas. Setting red lines will effectively improve the function of ecosystems and maintain the basic ecological space necessary for national ecological security and sustainable economic and social development.
確定中國生物多樣性保護(hù)優(yōu)先區(qū)域。中國打破行政區(qū)域界線,連通現(xiàn)有自然保護(hù)地,充分考慮重要生物地理單元和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)類型的完整性,劃定35個生物多樣性保護(hù)優(yōu)先區(qū)域。其中,32個陸域優(yōu)先區(qū)域總面積276.3萬平方公里,約占陸地國土面積的28.8%,對于有效保護(hù)重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、物種及其棲息地具有重要意義。
Designating priority areas for biodiversity protection. China is connecting the current PAs across different administrative regions. Giving full consideration to key biogeographical components and different types of ecosystems, it has designated 35 priority areas for biodiversity protection. Among these, 32 terrestrial priority areas cover a total of 2.76 million sq km and make up about 28.8 percent of the total land area. They are valuable in effectively protecting key ecosystems, species and their habitats.
(二)完善遷地保護(hù)體系
2. Improving Ex-situ Conservation
中國持續(xù)加大遷地保護(hù)力度,系統(tǒng)實施瀕危物種拯救工程,生物遺傳資源的收集保存水平顯著提高,遷地保護(hù)體系日趨完善,成為就地保護(hù)的有效補充,多種瀕危野生動植物得到保護(hù)和恢復(fù)。
China continues to step up ex-situ conservation, and launches systematic campaigns to save endangered species. More biological genetic resources are collected and better preserved, and the ex-situ conservation system is improving as an effective complement to in-situ conservation, helping to protect and restore many species of endangered wildlife.
逐步完善遷地保護(hù)體系。建立了植物園、野生動物救護(hù)繁育基地以及種質(zhì)資源庫、基因庫等較為完備的遷地保護(hù)體系。截至目前,建立植物園(樹木園)近200個,保存植物2.3萬余種;建立250處野生動物救護(hù)繁育基地,60多種珍稀瀕危野生動物人工繁殖成功。
Gradually improving the ex-situ conservation system. China has set up a relatively complete ex-situ conservation system including botanical gardens, wildlife rehabilitation and breeding centers, germplasm resource centers, and gene banks. To date, China has built a total of about 200 botanical gardens and arboretums exhibiting 23,000 species of plants, and 250 wildlife rehabilitation and breeding centers where over 60 types of rare and endangered wild animal are successfully bred.
加快重要生物遺傳資源收集保存和利用。中國高度重視生物資源保護(hù),近年來在生物資源調(diào)查、收集、保存等方面取得較大進(jìn)展。實施戰(zhàn)略生物資源計劃專項,完善生物資源收集收藏平臺,建立種質(zhì)資源創(chuàng)新平臺、遺傳資源衍生庫和天然化合物轉(zhuǎn)化平臺,持續(xù)加強野生生物資源保護(hù)和利用。實施一批種質(zhì)資源保護(hù)和育種創(chuàng)新項目,截至2020年底,形成了以國家作物種質(zhì)長期庫及其復(fù)份庫為核心、10座中期庫與43個種質(zhì)圃為支撐的國家作物種質(zhì)資源保護(hù)體系,建立了199個國家級畜禽遺傳資源保種場(區(qū)、庫),為90%以上的國家級畜禽遺傳資源保護(hù)名錄品種建立了國家級保種單位,長期保存作物種質(zhì)資源52萬余份、畜禽遺傳資源96萬份。建設(shè)99個國家級林木種質(zhì)資源保存庫,以及新疆、山東2個國家級林草種質(zhì)資源設(shè)施保存庫國家分庫,保存林木種質(zhì)資源4.7萬份。建設(shè)31個藥用植物種質(zhì)資源保存圃和2個種質(zhì)資源庫,保存種子種苗1.2萬多份。
Accelerating the collection, preservation and use of key genetic resources. China attaches great importance to protecting biological resources, and has made considerable progress in the research on biological resources and their collection and preservation in recent years. To steadily increase protection and use of wildlife resources, China has rolled out special plans for strategic biological resources, which have helped to improve bio-resource collection and preservation platforms, and create platforms for germplasm resource innovation and natural compound transformation as well as libraries for derivatives of genetic resources. It has launched a batch of projects for germplasm resource protection and breeding. By the end of 2020, China had put in place a national crop genetics protection system with the national long-term germplasm banks and their duplicates as the core, supported by 10 medium-term banks and 43 germplasm fields. It had built 199 state-level livestock and poultry germplasm resource preservation fields (areas, storehouses), preparing state-level sites for the conservation of germplasms of over 90 percent of breeds under the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources. There are over 520,000 copies of crop germplasm resources and 960,000 copies of livestock and poultry genetic resources in long-term storage. China has established 99 state-level germplasm resource banks for trees, and two state-level germplasm resource sub-centers for trees and grass in Xinjiang and Shandong, preserving 47,000 copies of germplasm resources for trees. It has also built 31 germplasm preservation fields and two germplasm resource centers for medicinal plants, preserving over 12,000 copies of seeds and seedlings.
系統(tǒng)實施瀕危物種拯救工程。中國實施瀕危物種拯救工程,對部分珍稀瀕危野生動物進(jìn)行搶救性保護(hù),通過人工繁育擴大種群,并最終實現(xiàn)放歸自然。人工繁育大熊貓數(shù)量呈快速優(yōu)質(zhì)增長,大熊貓受威脅程度等級從“瀕危”降為“易危”,實現(xiàn)野外放歸并成功融入野生種群。曾經(jīng)野外消失的麋鹿在北京南海子、江蘇大豐、湖北石首分別建立了三大保護(hù)種群,總數(shù)已突破8000只。此外,中國還針對德保蘇鐵、華蓋木、百山祖冷杉等120種極小種群野生植物開展搶救性保護(hù),112種我國特有的珍稀瀕危野生植物實現(xiàn)野外回歸。
Launching well-planned campaigns to save endangered species. China has launched campaigns to rescue rare and endangered wildlife, expand their population through artificial breeding, and reintroduce them to natural habitats in a phased manner. The captive population of breeding pandas has grown in numbers and quality. They have been downgraded from “endangered” to “vulnerable” on the list of species at risk of extinction, and some have been released into natural habitats to integrate into the wild population. Elks, once nowhere to be found in the wild, have grown to 8,000 in number thanks to the three conservation bases in Nanhaizi of Beijing, Dafeng of Jiangsu, and Shishou of Hubei. Emergency measures have also been taken to save and protect 120 plant species with extremely small populations such as the Cycas debaoensis, Manglietiastrum sinicum and Abies beshanzuensis, and to restore to their natural habitats 112 species of rare and endangered wild plants native to China.
(三)加強生物安全管理
3. Improving Biosecurity Governance
中國高度重視生物安全,把生物安全納入國家安全體系,頒布實施生物安全法,系統(tǒng)規(guī)劃國家生物安全風(fēng)險防控和治理體系建設(shè)。外來物種入侵防控機制逐漸完善,生物技術(shù)健康發(fā)展,生物遺傳資源保護(hù)和監(jiān)管力度不斷增強,國家生物安全管理能力持續(xù)提高。
China attaches great importance to biosecurity, and has included it in the national security system. The Biosecurity Law was promulgated and came into force in 2021. There is systematic planning for biosecurity risk control and governance. Efforts have been made to improve the mechanism for preventing the invasion of alien species, promote the sound development of biotechnologies, and strengthen the protection, supervision and regulation of biogenetic resources. The aim is to constantly improve national biosecurity governance.
嚴(yán)密防控外來物種入侵。持續(xù)加強對外來物種入侵的防范和應(yīng)對,完善外來入侵物種防控制度,建立外來入侵物種防控部際協(xié)調(diào)機制,推動聯(lián)防聯(lián)控。陸續(xù)發(fā)布4批《中國自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)外來入侵物種名單》,制定《國家重點管理外來入侵物種名錄》,共計公布83種外來入侵物種。啟動外來入侵物種普查,開展外來入侵物種監(jiān)測預(yù)警、防控滅除和監(jiān)督管理。加強外來物種口岸防控,嚴(yán)防境外動植物疫情疫病和外來物種傳入,筑牢口岸檢疫防線。
Preventing the invasion of alien species. China has made greater efforts to guard against and respond to the invasion of alien species. It has improved the collective response to invasive alien species by putting in place inter-ministerial coordination mechanisms. China issued the List of Invasive Alien Species in China in four groups in 2003, 2010, 2014 and 2016 respectively, and the List of Key Invasive Alien Species under State Supervision in 2012, covering a total of 83 invasive species detected in the country.
