Management measures

Management organization

The Management Office of Heishiding Provincial Nature Reserve in Fengkai, Guangdong Province is set up as the second level management of protection station. According to the principle of separation of protection management from production and operation, the original protection station and forest protection point are merged and adjusted again. The Management Office of the nature reserve has four protection stations: patrol station, 721 station, cold water tank station and salt water field station. In order to protect the core area and buffer area from man-made damage, forest protection posts are set up in scenic pit and Heishi river.

management system

Strengthen the construction of forest protection management team. At the same time, according to the requirements of each functional area of the reserve, according to the principle of "zonal management and hierarchical protection", the full-time forest protection management personnel should be divided into different areas, and the responsibility should be assigned to each person, and regular inspection should be carried out.

Protection mode

(1) We will strengthen forest protection and fire prevention, prevent diseases and insect pests, and prevent deforestation. The Management Office of the nature reserve and the four protection stations set up emergency fire fighting teams for forest protection. Regular investigation and monitoring of wild animal and plant resources, and listing and registration of ancient and famous trees; setting up ecological positioning observation stations in the reserve according to different forest vegetation and their habitats in different slope directions and altitudes for positioning observation; actively doing a good job in the prediction and forecast of diseases and pests, and forbidding the introduction and domestication of foreign animals and plants, so as to prevent the invasion and control of diseases and pests Spread and damage to the original habitat.

(2) According to the law, we should actively and conscientiously do a good job in burying boundary posts and boundary markers in the reserve. To establish and improve the forest right archives of mountain boundary in nature reserves, and lay a good foundation for strengthening the construction and management of nature reserves according to law. In addition, restrictive warning signs or billboards should be set up at the boundary of each functional area in the nature reserve, at the main intersections in the forest area and at the main tourist areas in the ecotourism area.

(3) Strengthen the publicity of the nature reserve.

About 300 students come to practice biology every year.

ecological value

The vegetation of Heishiding is one of the most representative zonal vegetation on the Tropic of cancer in China, which preserves the diversity of mountain mixed forest vegetation and precious and rare biological species resources. Its subtropical humid evergreen broad-leaved forest ecosystem is a prominent representative in China or biogeography, and is a rare zonal biological resource Species gene bank and ecosystem balance observation laboratory. It plays an irreplaceable role in the network of nature reserves in China.
