As a key participant in global ecological conservation, China continues to explore innovative approaches to biodiversity protection and ecosystem management.

Dinghushan National Nature Reserve, a model of ecological conservation in China, is not only the country's first nature reserve, but also an important member of UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Its successful experience offers valuable lessons for global ecological conservation.

Located in Guangdong's Zhaoqing City, the 1,133-hectare reserve, established in 1956 and managed by the SCBG, is hailed as the "Green Pearl on the Tropic of Cancer Desert Belt," due to its exceptional ecological value and striking contrast with the typically arid regions along the Tropic of Cancer.

In 1979, it became one of China's first three biosphere reserves under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere program.

The primary focus of the reserve is protecting South Asian subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests and their wildlife. Forest coverage in the reserve has remained around 98 percent, with 68 state-protected plant species and 73 protected animal species found there.
