    Gu Yuxuan, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School Shijiazhuang, HeBei Province, China China, Factor 6: Sustainable Agriculture China: Sustainable Land Use on Sanjiang Plain Located in the northeast corner of China, Sanjiang Plain is in the administrative divisions of Heilongjiang Province. Amur River, Ussuri River and Songhua River joining together, with their waves impacting the soil, formed this flat and fertile alluvial plain whose total area is 108,900 square kilometers. The surface is wet and always has surplus water because of the broad and flat terrain. The cold and wet climate condition causes heavy precipitations in summer and autumn. Rivers run slowly with sudden flood peak periods. Seasonal freezing-thawing soil covers the whole plain. All those account for large areas of swamp water and vegetation which involves 2.4 million hectares of swamp and marsh soil, ranking China’s largest swamp area. Ten wetland nature reserves were set up, attracting many international ecological and environmental protection organizations. The region, which is covered with 10 to 15 cm of water and the total quantity is 18.764 billion cubic meters, is home to many first-class national protected animals. For instance, the red-crowned cranes in the IUCN (World Conservation Union) red list, the Chinese merganser and the Siberian tiger all find their habit in this plain. Sod layer soils are thick, generally 30 to 40 cm. In the area lies the most fertile black earth in China, and it’s one of the three black earth terrains in the world. High in organic matter, the organic matter is 3% to 10%.

    RESETTLEMENT PLAN OF BAOQING COUNTY (QIXINGHE NATURE RESERVE) Supplementary Appendix to the Report and Recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors on the Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project in The People’s Republic of China Heilongjiang Provincial Government] September 2004 This report was prepared by the Borrower and is not an ADB document. [Expected Board Approval Date: January 2005] Resettlement Plan of Baoqing County PREFACE This Resettlement Plan (RP) has been prepared by Sanjiang Plains Wetland Protection Project Office with assistance provided under the Technical Assistance Group of ADB. The RP has been formulated based on the PRC laws, local regulations and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) policies on involuntary resettlement. The RP provides effective approaches to the land acquisition and resettlement of Sanjiang Plains Wetland Protection Project. The RP is based on socio-economic survey and households sample surveys of potentially affected persons (APs) according to the final design. The overall impacts reported here are based on the reliable field surveys carried out during project preparation period. After concurrence from ADB, the RP will then be approved by Heilongjiang Development and Reform Committee (HDRC) on behalf of Heilongjiang People’s Government. BRIEF INTRODUCTION AND APPROVAL OF THE RP HDRC has received the approval to construct the Sanjiang Plains Wetland Protection Project, which is expected to commence in 2004 and be completed by end of 2009. HDRC, through State Forestry Administration (SFA) and Ministry of Finance, has applied a loan from ADB and donation from Global Environment Facility (GEF) to finance the project. Accordingly, the project must be implemented in compliance with ADB social safeguard policies.

  • Regional Ecological Risk Assessment of Wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain with Respect to Human Disturbance
    sustainability Article Regional Ecological Risk Assessment of Wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain with Respect to Human Disturbance Hui Wang 1,2, Changchun Song 2,* and Kaishan Song 2 1 College of Tourism and Geography, Jiujiang University, Jiujiang 332005, China; [email protected] 2 Key Laboratory of Wetland Ecology and Environment, Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130102, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 27 February 2020; Published: 5 March 2020 Abstract: Characterization of the intensity of regional human disturbances on wetlands is an important scientific issue. In this study, the pole-axis system (involving multi-level central places and roads) was recognized as a proxy of direct risk to wetlands stemming from human activities at the regional or watershed scale. In this respect, the pole-axis system and central place theory were adopted to analyze the spatial agglomeration characteristics of regional human activities. Soil erosion and non-point source (NPS) pollution, indicating the indirect effect of human activities on wetlands, were also considered. Based on these human disturbance proxies, which are considered regional risk sources to wetlands, incorporated with another two indicators of regional environment, i.e., vulnerability and ecological capital indexes, the regional ecological risk assessment (RERA) framework of wetlands was finally established. Using this wetland RERA framework, the spatial heterogeneity

    Silencing Complaints Chinese Human Rights Defenders March 11, 2008 Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: http://crd-net.org/ Email: [email protected] One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights Silencing Complaints: Human Rights Abuses Against Petitioners in China A report by Chinese Human Rights Defenders In its Special Series on Human Rights and the Olympics Abstract As China prepares to host the Olympics, this report finds that illegal interception and arbitrary detention of petitioners bringing grievances to higher authorities have become more systematic and extensive, especially in the host city of the Olympic Games, Beijing. ―The most repressive mechanisms are now being employed to block the steady stream of petitioners from registering their grievances in Beijing. The Chinese government wants to erase the image of people protesting in front of government buildings, as it would ruin the meticulously cultivated impression of a contented, modern, prosperous China welcoming the world to the Olympics this summer,‖ said Liu Debo,1 who participated in the investigations and research for this report. Petitioners, officially estimated to be 10 million, are amongst those most vulnerable to human rights abuses in China today. As they bring complaints about lower levels of government to higher authorities, they face harassment and retaliation. Officially, the Chinese government encourages petitions and has an extensive governmental bureaucracy to handle them. In practice, however, officials at all levels of government have a vested interest in preventing petitioners from speaking up about the mistreatment and injustices they have suffered. The Chinese government has developed a complex extra-legal system to intercept, confine, and punish petitioners in order to control and silence them, often employing brutal means such as assault, surveillance, harassment of family members, kidnapping, and incarceration in secret detention centers, psychiatric institutions and Re-education through Labor camps.

    Dissertation Submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences presented by Master of Science: Gang Li Born in: Heilongjiang, China Oral examination: 30 November 2001 Gedruckt mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (Printed with the support of German Academic Exchange Service) Palaeontology and biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin Formation in eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China Referees: Prof. Dr. Peter Bengtson Prof. Pei-ji Chen This manuscript is produced only for examination as a doctoral dissertation and is not intended as a permanent scientific record. It is therefore not a publication in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Abstract The purpose of the study was to provide conclusive evidence for a chronostratigraphical assignment of the Qihulin Formation of the Longzhaogou Group exposed in Mishan and Hulin counties of eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China. To develop an integrated view of the formation, all collected fossil groups, i.e. the macrofossils (ammonites and bivalves) and microfossils (agglutinated foraminifers and radiolarians) have been studied. The low-diversity ammonite fauna consists of Pseudohaploceras Hyatt, 1900, and Eogaudryceras Spath, 1927, which indicate a Barremian–Aptian age. The bivalve fauna consists of eight genera and 16 species. The occurrence of Thracia rotundata (J. de C: Sowerby) suggests an Aptian age. The agglutinated foraminifers comprise ten genera and 16 species, including common Lower Cretaceous species such as Ammodiscus rotalarius Loeblich & Tappan, 1949, Cribrostomoides? nonioninoides (Reuss, 1836), Haplophragmoides concavus (Chapman, 1892), Trochommina depressa Lozo, 1944.
