廣東生物多樣性保護發生歷史性變化

Recently, the Oriental stork and the Chinese merganser, two wild species under first-class state protection, have been found in Guangzhou. They are "vivid" examples of China"s biodiversity conservation achievements at the second phase of the 15th Conference of the Parties(COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD). And it is also a witness to the historic changes in Guangdong"s biodiversity conservation.

As of October 2022, Guangdong recorded 1,052 species of terrestrial vertebrate wildlife and 6,658 species of wild higher plants, making it one of the most biodiverse provinces in China, according to the Guangdong Forestry Administration.

A total of 278 more species of terrestrial vertebrate wildlife were recorded in Guangdong Province this year compared with 2012. After ten years of exploration and improvement, Guangdong"s biodiversity protection capability has improved greatly, and the population of wild animals and plants has increased steadily.

國家一級保護野生動物、有“鳥界國寶”之稱的東方白鸛在廣州南沙濕地覓食；被譽為“鳥中大熊貓”的國家一級保護野生動物中華秋沙鴨在廣東韶關活動……近日，兩種國家保護動物“現身”廣東，為《生物多樣性公約》第十五次締約方大會第二階段會議上中國生物多樣性保護成果提供了“鮮活”的例證，也是廣東生物多樣性保護發生歷史性變化的見證。

據廣東省林業局的統計顯示，截至2022年10月，廣東省記錄分布陸生脊椎野生動物共1052種，野生高等植物共6658種，是全國生物多樣性最豐富的省份之一。與2012年相比，廣東省陸生脊椎野生動物新記錄增加278種。經過十年探索完善，廣東生物多樣性保護水平大幅提升，野生動植物種群穩步增加。
