PROJECT INNOVATIONS A. Research and Knowledge-Driven Approach to Conservation, Marketing, and Rural Economies 1. The project design includes ambitious research and development programs to accompany major components of the projects in support of sustainable and inclusive development. The Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (Xiangxi) of Hunan Province is rich in natural resources, featured ecological agricultural products, biodiversity, and ethnic minority cultural diversity, most of which is scientifically little known for their significance and delicate balance between conservation and uses. The Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefectural Government fully appreciate the value of research and development for simultaneously protecting and generating economic values of these natural and cultural resources. Preparation of the project involved a robust analytical and consultative approach towards integrated solutions. The proposed research and knowledge components cover all main aspects of the project, including construction and setting up of three research centers and four visitor and/or education centers and museums, and establishment of four research and collaboration programs. Table 1 provides an overview of the proposed research and knowledge components in the project. Table 1.

The center is also suited for training, tourist sightseeing and learning. B. Landscape Approach to Climate-Resilient Rural Living Environment 3. Xiangxi is in the Wuling mountainous region with around 70% covered by dense forests. Restoring and protecting the unique Wuling biosphere as resilient living environment is profoundly important for the wellbeing of people and nature. A landscape approach is adopted for protecting the natural resources, ecological integrity, managing rural wastewater and solid waste, and restoring rural environment. a) Forest rehabilitation and low-quality forest improvement by replanting diversified local species adopting an interval alternate planting structure. The new structure will also have improved ability to absorb carbon and enhance greenhouse gas sequestration. b) The project will demonstrate an innovative methodology for construction of ecological corridor in the two main traffic channels along the Luxi–Joshou–Fenghuang and Jishou– Huayuan–Zhangjiajie highways in Xiangxi. The key element is the renovation of forest stand with soil and water conservation, landscaping, and valuable tree species in suitable areas. This will have demonstrative effect in Hunan Province where is a pioneering area of the country in corridor greening c) Erosion control, landslide prevention, and flood protection by reinforcing and protecting slopes, flood, and drainage infrastructure, including protection of construction sites in flood pro areas. d) Prefecture-wide inclusive sanitation is carefully analyzed and mountainous rural areas, including towns and villages are targeted for their relative lack of coverage. Distributed small-scale wastewater and solid waste management facilities are customized in rural areas with complicated geographic conditions and scattered households, including 1,730 four-pool sewage purification systems for single household and 402 various sizes of decentralized wastewater treatment facilities (from 5 cubic meters [m3] to 200 m3 each) for group of households. They will direct benefit 66,658 population in 20 villages of nine townships in seven project counties. e) The project will install 402 sets of solar energy systems for decentralized sewage treatment facilities, which will reduce the operating
