In March 1998 a further reallocation of SDR 9.0228 million equivalent of the proceeds of Credit 2307-CHA was approved. The total allocation for the Earthquake Reconstruction Program (implemented in Inner Mongolia and Yunnan) was thus SDR 50.6328 million. Bank Group procedures for Emergency Recovery Assistance (OP 8.50) were followed. The credit was closed on December 31, 1998, at which time the funds allocated to the Earthquake Reconstruction Program were fully committed. The final disbursement took place on December 30, 1998 for Yunnan Province, and on April 12, 1999 for Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Messrs. Geoffrey Read (Task Manager) and Terry Hall (Consultant) prepared the ICR, with assistance by Yang Dawei (Procurement Specialist), Chen Feng (Disbursement Specialist), in the Urban Development Sector Unit (EASUR) of the East Asia and Pacific Region, and Ken Rippin (Consultant). It was reviewed by Messrs. Keshav Varma, Sector Manager, EASUR, and Yukon Huang, Country Director, China. Preparation of this ICR was begun during the International Development Association's (IDA's) supervision missions in June 1998 (in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) and in November 1998 (in Yunnan Province), and is based on information in the project file and mission reports prepared during supervision.

  • (Anacardiaceae) from the Miocene of Yunnan, China Ye-Ming
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 33 (2), 2012: 197–204 A NEW SPECIES OF PISTACIOXYLON (ANACARDIACEAE) FROM THE MIOCENE OF YUNNAN, CHINA Ye-Ming Cheng1,*, R.C. Mehrotra2, Yue-Gao Jin1, Wei Yang1 and Cheng-Sen Li3,* SUMMARY A new species of Pistacioxylon, Pistacioxylon leilaoensis Cheng et al., showing affinities withPistacia of the Anacardiaceae is described from the Miocene of Leilao, Yuanmou Basin, Yunnan Province, southwest China. It provides data for reconstructing the phytogeographic history of Pistacia and the paleoenvironment of the Yuanmou Basin. This fossil suggests a long history of exchange of various taxa including Pistacia between Europe and East Asia during the Tertiary. Key words: Pistacia, fossil wood, phytogeography, Xiaohe Formation, Southwest China. INTRODUCTION The Yuanmou Basin of Yunnan Province, southwest China, is well known for its Yuanmou Man (Homo erectus) (Qian 1985) and hominoid fauna fossils (He 1997). Abundant hominoid and mammal fossils have been reported since 1980 from the Late Miocene Xiaohe Formation of Leilao and Xiaohe, Yuanmou Basin, Yunnan (Pan & Zong 1991; He 1997; Harrison et al. 2002; Liu & Pan 2003; Yue et al. 2003; Qi et al. 2006). The age and character of the Xiaohe fauna are similar to those of the Late Miocene Siwalik fauna of Pakistan (Pan & Zong 1991). The Yuanmou Basin might have been an important refuge for hominoids when they became extinct in the rest of Eurasia (Zhu et al. 2005). The Late Miocene Xiaohe Formation of Leilao, Yuanmou Basin, also contains fossil woods (Zhang et al. 2002) and their study can provide important information for the reconstruction of the paleoenvironment of the basin.

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

Mycosphere 5(1), 27–76, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/5/1/2 Abstract A total of 36 species of Hypogymnia are known from southwestern China. This region is a center of biodiversity for the genus. Hypogymnia capitata, H. nitida, H. saxicola, H. pendula, and H. tenuispora are newly described species from Yunnan and Sichuan. Olivetoric acid is new as a major lichen substance in Hypogymnia, occurring only in H. capitata. A key and illustrations are given for the species known from this region, along with five species from adjoining regions that might be confused or have historically been misidentified in this region. Key words – Lecanorales – lichenized ascomycetes – Parmeliaceae – Shaanxi – Sichuan – Tibet – Yunnan – Xizang. Introduction The first major collections of Hypogymnia from southwestern China were by Handel- Mazzetti, from which Zahlbruckner (1930) reported six species now placed in Hypogymnia, and Harry Smith (1921-1934, published piecewise by other authors; Herner 1988). Since the last checklist of lichens in China (Wei 1991), which reported 16 species of Hypogymnia from the southwestern provinces, numerous species of Hypogymnia from southwestern China have been described or revised (Chen 1994, Wei & Bi 1998, McCune & Obermayer 2001, McCune et al.

  • Plateau Wetlands, an Indispensible Habitat for the Black-Necked Crane (Grus Nigricollis) - a Review
    Wetlands (2014) 34:629–639 DOI 10.1007/s13157-014-0559-5 REVIEW Plateau Wetlands, an Indispensible Habitat for the Black-Necked Crane (Grus nigricollis) - A Review Hongtao Song & Yinsheng Zhang & Haifeng Gao & Yanhong Guo & Shengnan Li Received: 24 November 2013 /Accepted: 19 June 2014 /Published online: 6 July 2014 # Society of Wetland Scientists 2014 Abstract As a highly productive and sensitive ecosystem, wetlands (BirdLife International 2001). The existence of plateau wetlands provide indispensable habitats for Grus Grus nigricollis was unknown until 1876 due to the high nigricollis, an endangered species of crane. However, the altitude and low temperature of its habitat. In the 1980s and destruction and degeneration of plateau wetlands caused by 1990s, surveys of Grus nigricollis mainly focused on the climate change and human disturbance have influenced the birds’ overwintering sites and population counts and included habitats and biological behaviors of Grus nigricollis. Previous preliminary research into the ecology of these overwintering studies have ignored the importance of particular habitats to sites (Wang et al. 1989; Zhang and Luo 1991;LiandMa the continued existence of Grus nigricollis,especiallywith 1992;Yuetal.1993;Chen1994, 1997;Lietal.1997). Since regard to extremely fragile plateau wetland systems. In this 2000, studies have been carried out into the cranes’ individual review, the importance of plateau wetlands for the breeding, behaviors, foraging habits, reproductive behaviors and migra- overwintering and foraging of Grus nigricollis is summarized; tory routes (Li and Ma 2000;BishopandLi2002;Yangetal. the impact of human activities and climate change on Grus 2006; Gao et al. 2007;Yangetal.2007). nigricollis and on plateau wetland habitats is also presented.

    Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan The Cranes Compiled by Curt D. Meine and George W. Archibald IUCN/SSC Crane Specialist Group IUCN The World Conservation Union IUCN/Species Survival Commission Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Fund and The Cranes: Status Survey & Conservation Action Plan The IUCN/Species Survival Commission Conservation Communications Fund was established in 1992 to assist SSC in its efforts to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, deci- sion-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC's Action Plans, occasional papers, news magazine (Species), Membership Directory and other publi- cations are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation; to date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to Specialist Groups. As a result, the Action Plan Programme has progressed at an accelerated level and the network has grown and matured significantly. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and sup- port for species conservation worldwide. The Chicago Zoological Society (CZS) provides significant in-kind and cash support to the SSC, including grants for special projects, editorial and design services, staff secondments and related support services. The President of CZS and Director of Brookfield Zoo, George B. Rabb, serves as the volunteer Chair of the SSC. The mis- sion of CZS is to help people develop a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. The Zoo carries out its mis- sion by informing and inspiring 2,000,000 annual visitors, serving as a refuge for species threatened with extinction, developing scientific approaches to manage species successfully in zoos and the wild, and working with other zoos, agencies, and protected areas around the world to conserve habitats and wildlife.
