China News Network Lanzhou, April 23 (Reporter Ding Si) Qilian Mountain Ecological Positioning Observation Network System, Intelligent Patrol Supervision Information System, Remote Sensing and UAV Monitoring System, Forestry Pest Database ... With the construction of information technology, today ’s Qilian Mountain has built a “sky, earth, and air integration” ecological environment monitoring network system. It uses intelligent methods to protect the ecological security barrier in western China in all directions and without dead ends. .
The Qilian Mountains area is an important ecological security barrier in western China and an important water source in the Yellow River Basin. Qilian Mountain, with a total length of more than 800 kilometers from east to west, has more than 80% of its area in Zhangye City. The local area is also the "main battlefield" for the remediation, protection and restoration of the ecological environment of Qilian Mountain. At present, 179 ecological and environmental problems within the range of Qilian Mountain (Zhangye Section) have all been rectified, and ecological restoration has achieved remarkable results. Intelligent construction, comparison of big data monitoring and management patrols have become daily routines of ecological protection in Qilian Mountains.
"In the past, patrolling was mainly based on people, but the Qilian mountain area was too large. Even if all employees were placed in the mountains, it was far from enough. It was impossible to achieve 24 hours of continuous monitoring, and it was extremely difficult to obtain evidence and compare." Giant Panda Qilian Mountain National Park Gansu Provincial Administration Bureau Zhangye Branch Director Liao Kongtai recently said in an exclusive interview with reporters from China News Service and China News Network that since 2017, the bureau has developed a "wisdom Qilian Mountain big data application platform", and the basic structure has been initially completed. , Realizing the transition from digital forestry to smart forestry.
So far, the platform has built an internal and external network system that spans 8 counties in Zhangye, Wuwei, and Jinchang in Gansu, covering 22 nature protection stations and 168 resource management and protection stations at the grass-roots level. The interconnection of 168 resource management and protection stations has created the most basic network environment for further advancing the construction of intelligent Qilian Mountain.
"The ecology of Qilian Mountain is improving, what do you say? Data is the most important monitoring indicator." Liao Kongtai said that the platform also uses satellite remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicle, lidar scanner, soil respiration measuring instrument and other advanced domestic and foreign instruments and equipment The five-level "digital" comprehensive ecological observation network system from glaciers, meadows, forests, shrubs, and grasslands has been provided to provide important scientific basis and a large amount of first-hand information for the assessment of the ecological benefits of Qilian Mountains.
The intelligent monitoring system not only "escorts" the ecological restoration of Qilian Mountains, but also "cares" the "living" of wild animals and plants around the clock.
In the early part of this month, more than 260 wild white-lipped deer populations were found in the area under the jurisdiction of the Bureau's protection station. Not only that, but in the past six months, the Qilian Mountains have also frequently recorded the running state of Tibetan wild donkeys and Tibetan wild gazelles, which are protected by the first-level protected animals and second-level protected animals.
With the continuous restoration of the natural environment, the wild animal and plant resources in Qilian Mountain National Park have become more abundant. At present, there are more than 1,300 species of higher plants and 286 species of wild vertebrates. Among them, there are more than 50 national first- and second-level protected animals. The unique and typical natural ecosystems and biota have become the priority of biodiversity protection in China. An important biological germplasm resource bank in the region and the northwest region.
Liao Kongtai said that now the ecological environment of Qilian Mountain, whether it is the core area, the buffer zone, or the experimental area has been significantly improved, and Qilian Mountain has also become a "new home" for wild animals and plants.
"In some areas, grass grows to a height of 1 meter, and fire prevention has become the main pressure today." Liao Kongtai said that the forest grassland fire prevention video monitoring system is also an important content of the "smart Qilian Mountain" information construction. Currently, 77 forest grasslands have been built and used. By the end of 2020, there will be 100 fire prevention video surveillance towers, with an effective monitoring area of 600,000 hectares, which will basically cover the key fire danger areas of Qilian Mountain National Park.
