More than 80,000 person-time patrols were carried out, and 724 images of wild giant pandas were monitored; for major national and provincial projects such as the Mianjiu Expressway, the Jiajinshan Tunnel, and the Yinda Jimin project to enter the Giant Panda National Park, the impact assessment and expert demonstration were strengthened. Supervise the implementation of mitigation measures and strive to reduce the impact on the ecological environment.
■Infrastructure at the grassroots level
Implemented 220 million yuan of central and provincial financial funds, and reserved 17 key projects during the "14th Five-Year Plan"; carried out standardization construction pilots, built 5 open laboratories for research on the rejuvenation of giant panda small populations, reintroduction bases, and field scientific research observation stations. The road is 168.68 kilometers, 41 new (renovated) protection sites, and 745 standardized multi-functional intelligent boundary markers and boundary markers are installed; academicians and authoritative experts of the "two academies" and authoritative experts have been hired to form the Giant Panda National Park Sichuan Area Expert Advisory Committee to establish cultural and creative The expert committee and innovation alliance deepened the cooperation with more than 40 scientific research units and enterprises including the Chinese Academy of Sciences, declared and implemented nearly 300 basic scientific research projects; promoted digital management, and launched the construction of an integrated monitoring system of "Sky, Earth and Human".
■Promoting coordinated local development

Five "Most" of Giant Panda National Park
The reporter learned from the press briefing held by the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Forestry and Grassland (the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Giant Panda National Park) that compared with other national parks officially established and piloted in my country, the area where the Giant Panda National Park is located is very special. It includes five "most", namely, the flagship species that is most concerned by the international community, the most abundant biodiversity, the most complex geology and landforms, the most frequent human disturbance activities, and the most complex composition of resource assets.
The first is that the flagship species is most concerned by the international community.
The giant panda is a relic species from the late Miocene. It is rare in number and has a narrow distribution. It is the "flagship species" and "umbrella species" for global biodiversity conservation, and a symbol of the world's natural protection.
Then there is the greatest biodiversity and the most complex geology.
The Giant Panda National Park is located at the boundary between the first step and the second step in my country, and is located in the transition zone between the Eastern and Palaearctic zones of zoogeographical divisions. More than 8,000 species of wild animals and plants.
At the same time, the Giant Panda National Park spans the five mountain systems of Minshan, Qionglai Mountain, Daxiangling, Xiaoxiangling and Qinling. The north-south and east-west spans are nearly 600 kilometers, and the altitude difference is nearly 6,000 meters. It is recognized as the most complex area in the world. one.
In addition, Giant Panda National Park is also the area with the most frequent human disturbance activities and the most complex composition of resource assets.
Human activities in the Giant Panda National Park area can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. The Sichuan area involves 7 cities (prefectures), 20 counties (cities, districts), and 110 townships (towns), with 42,500 registered residents.
In the past few decades, resource-dependent and consumption-oriented development activities, mainly mining, hydropower, and tourism, have been intensive.
At the same time, the collective land in the Giant Panda National Park area is 5,490 square kilometers, accounting for 25% of the total area of the park.
State-owned land and its ancillary resources and assets shall be owned and managed by the national, provincial, municipal, and county governments and competent departments, respectively or cross-wise.
These features not only add to the unique charm of the Giant Panda National Park, but also bring many difficulties and challenges.
It is expected that by the end of this year, the Sichuan area will
Basically complete the setting of boundary stakes, boundary monuments and boundary cards
The reporter also learned from yesterday's press briefing that it is expected that by the end of this year, the Sichuan area of the Giant Panda National Park will basically complete the setting of boundary stakes, boundary monuments and boundary signs.
Chen Zongqian, the full-time deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Giant Panda National Park, said that boundary demarcation and marking is a basic work to promote the construction of the Giant Panda National Park. , to show the public the boundaries and control zones of national parks.
During the pilot period of the national park system, the pilots of park piling and benchmarking were first launched in Hongya, Mianyang, Anzhou and other areas, and 40 boundary markers, 509 boundary piles and 199 functional area piles have been buried.
At the beginning of this year, in accordance with the unified deployment of the State Forestry and Grass Bureau, Sichuan Province started this work in an all-round way. At present, the boundary survey has been basically completed, and the piling and calibration work is being fully promoted.
According to the work plan formulated at the beginning of the year, it is expected that by the end of this year, the Sichuan area of the Giant Panda National Park will basically complete the setting of boundary stakes, boundary monuments and boundary signs.
Beginning next year, the public will be able to clearly know where is inside the park, where is outside the park, where is the core protected area, and where is outside the park through the Giant Panda National Park boundary markers, boundary markers, and boundary signs, and in some places, electronic fence voice or text message reminders. Where is the general control area.
At the same time, corresponding instructions, prompts and warning signs in the park will also be gradually established.
