ADB Loan Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project, Heilongjiang Province Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project Farmland to Forest Conversion Component Due Dligence Report Heilongjiang Province Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project Office October 2008 Preface This due diligence report is prepared by the Project Management Office (PMO) of Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project (SPWPP) under the resettlement policy framework developed by the PPTA of ADB in 2004. There is no detailed RP for this component so has been implemented following the Resettlement Framework document since the project started in 2005. Therefore, the PMO has prepared this report so ADB can review the progress of this component and ensure it is being implemented in accordance with the PRC laws and regulations as well as ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy as set out in the Resettlement Framework. All the data used in this report is collected and provided by relevant forestry bureau or forest farms.

In 1999, the Chinese Government submitted the conceptual document of the “Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project” and Project Proposal of PDFB to GEF through ADB. After a period of preparation, GEF approved the donation on Feburary 8, 2005; and ADB approved the loan on March 14, 2005. The total project investment is USD 55.55 million, including USD 15 million from ADB loan and USD 12.14 million from GEF donation. The Project has 4 components: （1） Watershed Management: forestation and water source conservation within the nature reserves; enhancement of water resources management within the watershed (or the nature reserves) to restore the water balance; and development of watershed water resources planning to improve the basin-level management; （2） Nature Reserve Management: improvement of existing management and planning skills to eliminate the threats to the global endangered species ;introduction of practical and controllable model to restore the ecological function of six wetlands nature reserves involved; recovery of the quantity and scale of wild animals with international significance, especially the breeding population of the migrant birds in Sanjiang Plain Wetland; elimination of environmental threats to endangered species; and enforcement of relevant laws and regulations to reduce over-use of natural resources; （3） Alternative Livelihood: development of agro-forestry and non-timber Foresry Products to continuously increase the income of local residents; development and implementation of Village Development Plans to support community development and planning; and assistance to nature reserves in developing master plan of ecological industry and in conducting pilot activities. （4） Capacity building in wetlands management: capacity building for nature 6 reserves and local governments in terms of wetlands protection, and public awareness on protection of wetlands, wild animals and biodiversity. Provide specific training for women if appropriate. It is planned to restore an area of 4300 ha farmland to forest in the Watershed Management Component. 1.1 Impact of Original Project Design According to original project design, the “restoration farmland into forest” subproject involves 28 forest farms in 5 counties. See Table 2-1 below for details. 1.2 Resettlement Progress in Original Project Design The resettlement is planned to be conducted from 2005 to 2010. 1.3 Resettlement plan for Farmland to Forest Conversion Component in Original Project Design The resettlement requirements for the Farmland to Forest Conversion Component is set out in the Resettlement Framework_(RF) and concerned project documents of this project prepared in September 2004. For those persons who will be affected by farmland to forest restoration outside the nature reserves, the land ownership will not be transferred. The forestry farm or the village will (i) readjust the remaining farmland within the forestry farm or the village, (ii) ensure that the affected forestry workers or villagers can obtain the same quantity and quality farmland as other workers or villagers, and (iii) ensure the affected workers or villagers can continue as forestry workers, receive the wage and share the profits of forestry. However, since the income from reforestation is a long term venture, in order to remedy the income losses during the tree growth phase, the Project arranged a sub-component of developing non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Based on 7 investigations, it was determined that an area equivalent to 20% of the farmland restored to forest will be used for developing NTFPs in order to offset any income loss to the forest workers or villagers during the tree growth

  • View of Maternal Health in Heilongjiang’S Rural Provinces and Its Implications on Rural Areas in Countries with Low and Middle Income Gross Domestic Products
    Jiang et al. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes (2020) 18:201 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-020-01453-6 RESEARCH Open Access Sociodemographic determinants of maternal health service use in rural China: a cross-sectional study Kexin Jiang1,2†, Libo Liang2†, Haifeng Wang3†, Jingqun Li4, Yuze Li5, Mingli Jiao2,6*, Jingfu Mao7* and Qunhong Wu8* Abstract Objective: This study examined the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and maternal health use from a policy perspective. It aimed to provide an overview of maternal health in Heilongjiang’s rural provinces and its implications on rural areas in countries with low and middle income gross domestic products. Design, setting, and participants: This cross-sectional study used data from the Fifth Health Service Survey of Heilongjiang Province. Participants included 481 mothers who delivered a baby after August 15, 2008. Trained investigators collected data on their family and sociodemographic characteristics, antenatal care, delivery at specialised obstetric institutions (e.g. hospitals, clinics, other medical institutions), and postnatal care services. Results: The number of women with more than five antenatal care visits and the delivery rate at specialised obstetric institutions were high. Approximately 50% of the participants had three or more postnatal care visits. Maternal healthcare use among women less than 20 years old and those with natural deliveries were higher. There were fewer antenatal care visits among women who had been pregnant once or twice before. Conclusions: Delivery rates at specialised obstetric institutions and the number of antenatal care visits were higher than the World Health Organization requirements, while the frequency of postnatal care visits were better than most countries.
