ADB Loan Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project, Heilongjiang Province Naolihe Nature Reserve Resettlement Due Diligence Report Heilongjiang Province Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project Office October 2008 Preface This resettlement due diligence report is prepared by Heilongjiang Province Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project Office (HPO) under the resettlement policy framework developed by the PPTA of ADB in 2004. This report is written in accordance with PRC laws and regulations as well as ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy. The farmland restoration to wetland process of Naolihe Natural Reserve was conducted in 2001, before the ADB project identification mission. So, it is needed to prepare a resettlement due diligence for ADB. Initial due diligence was conducted in 2004 but it did not include a socio-economic survey. This updated due diligence focuses on the livelihood restoration of the affected workers. All the data used in this report were collected and provided by Helongjiang State Farm Bureau. Our resettlement specialist initially uses these data and prepared this resettlement due diligence report for ADB.

The site of this component is located in the Naolihe River and the Naoli River Nature Reserve. Of which, the pilot project of wetland recovery needs to return a total area of 2000 ha of farmland to wetland. 1.1.3 Alternative Livelihood The scope of the alternative livelihood of the NR includes: natural resources sustainable utilization and eco- tourism. The project site is inside and surrounding the Naolihe NR. 1.1.4 Nature Reserve Capacity Building The capacity building of the Naolihe NR will be carried out in the Naolihe River 1 NR. The main scope is: publicity, disseminating, scientific research related to wetlands protection and wetland management training. 1.2 General Description of Project Area The project is located within the boundaries of Hongqiling State Farm of the Naolihe National NR (refer to Map 1). The ownership of the site belongs to the Hongqiling State Farm, and is State-owned land. 1.2.1 Naolihe River National Level Nature Reserve Naolihe National Level Nature Reserve is a kind of ecosystem type nature reserve characterized by continental wetlands with water areas. It was founded in1998 and upgraded to a national level nature reserve in 2002. The NR is situated on the borders of Sanjiang branch bureau of the State Farm Bureau, a prefecture level jurisdiction that administers the State farm and the Natural Reserve in Baoqing county, Fujin county, Raohe county and Fuqua county. The whole area of the NR amounts to 160,595.4 ha, including: farmland: 24,000 ha, accounting for 14.9% of the total area; forestland: 10,466.7 ha, 6.52%; low-lying wetland: 120,395.2 ha, 75.0%; water area : 2,764.5 ha, 1.7%; and others, 2,968 ha, 1.9%. The NR is 165 km from the east to the west. The Naolihe NR has incorporated three provincial level NRs (Changlindao Island NR, Yanwodao Island NR, and Naolihe River NR) and one city level NR (Qixinghe River NR). The State Council approved and promoted it to become a national level NR on July 2, 2002. The Naolihe River NR has 5 major types of ecosystems (i.e., forest, bushes, grassland, water plants, etc.), 593 species of wild animals, and 1,047 wild plants. These include: 70 species of endangered animals, 10 species of plants under state care, and 5 species of water plants have been listed in the China’s Red Book of Endangered Species. 2 There are 11 State Farms around the NR. They are: Qixing, Daxing, Chuangye, Shengli and No. 859 Farm under Sanjiang Branch Bureau; No. 597, No. 853, No. 852 Farm, Hongqiling, Raohe Farm under Hongxinglong branch Bureau.

  • Concentration and Species of Dissolved Iron in Waters in Sanjiang Plain, China
    CONCENTRATION AND SPECIES OF DISSOLVED IRON IN WATERS IN SANJIANG PLAIN, CHINA 1 1 2 1 YAN B. , ZHANG B. , YOH M. AND PAN X. 1 Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun China 2Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Tokyo, Japan ABSTRACT Water samples were collected from May to October in 2005-2008 to investigate the concentrations and fractions of dissolved iron in rivers, wetland and agricultural drainage in Sanjiang Plain, where land-use has been changing greatly since last fifty years although was formerly the largest concentrative distribution area of freshwater marshes in China. cross-flow technique was used to separate iron species by size fraction. The aim of this study is to reveal the iron fraction and to evaluate the effect of land-use change on transport and output flux of dissolved iron. The results show that marsh and marshy rivers exhibited higher concentrations of dissolved iron than in Amur River, Songhua River and Ussuri River and are the primary sources of dissolved iron for the rivers. Low molecular weight (LMW) iron was the major fraction of dissolved iron both in wetland and marshy streams, and 71% of LMW iron was in organic form in wetland. 73%-82% of dissolved iron was in the form of complexed iron in rivers. Ferrous iron accounted for 80.45% of dissolved iron in groundwater. The concentrations of high molecular weight and medium molecular weight iron (colloid iron) increased in paddy waters and ditch waters compared with in groundwater. Ferric and ferrous concentrations in Naoli River decreased between 1960’s and 2008.

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

  • Sustainable Water Resources Planning & Management
    SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES PLANNING & MANAGEMENT UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE Lead Speaker: Young-Oh Kim Proceedings of the 37th IAHR World Congress August 13 – 18, 2017, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EFFECT OF EXTREAME WEATHER AND URBANIZATION TO FLOOD OF TYPICAL RIVERS IN JAPAN KENTARO YAMAMOTO(1), KENICHIRO KOBAYASHI(2) & SATORU OISHI(3) (1) Graduate School of Engineering, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan, (2,3) Research Center for Urban Safety and Security (RCUSS), Kobe University, Kobe, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT The impact of extreme rain, urbanization and snow amount variability in typical rivers in Hyogo prefecture as a microcosm of Japan is investigated. In Mukogawa River, urbanization greatly advanced around Sanda, but its influence on the outflow process was relatively small at Sanda in the main stream and large in a tributary of Nagano River. Therefore, when evaluating the influence of urbanization on the outflow of rivers, it is necessary to pay attention to the rate of change of land use in the entire catchment. In the Kishidagawa River, it was found that there was a big difference in the amount of snow water in the watershed in the spring season between the year of much snow and the year of little snow. In the years with little snow, it turns out that the use of stable snow melting water cannot be expected. Based on these results, we considered that the risk of water problems in the river basin of Japan will further increase with the change of climate and life style. From now on, what kind of action will be taken according to the risk and how to inform people of the risk will be a problem.

  • 2017July Table of Tiger Crime Incidents.Xlsx
    Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) TABLE OF TIGER CRIME INCIDENTS, 01 JANUARY 1999-25 JULY 2017 Summary: This table accompanies the Global Tiger Map (2017) and shows at least 509 tigers were seized in China, Thailand, Vietnam and Lao PDR in the timeframe. To gain a count of individual tigers seized, this figure is based on skins, live, carcasses and stuffed tigers. This excludes counting incidents of bones alone, to avoid duplicate counting of tiger parts which may come from the same individual, however these parts are also shown. The number of tigers seized in trade across the region is likely to be higher. Without consistent DNA analysis, or stripe pattern analysis to cross-reference with databases of camera-trap images, it is impossible to say for certain what the source of these tigers is. However, based on a review of circumstances around seizures, it is possible that 61 per cent of the tigers shown here may have been sourced from captive facilities (either wild-caught and laundered through captive facilities, or bred in captivity.

Abstract: Given that cultivated land serves as a strategic resource to ensure national food security, blind emphasis on improvement of food production capacity can lead to soil overutilization and impair other soil functions. Therefore, we took Heilongjiang province as an example to conduct a multi-functional evaluation of soil at the provincial scale. A combination of soil, climate, topography, land use, and remote sensing data were used to evaluate the functions of primary productivity, provi- sion and cycling of nutrients, provision of functional and intrinsic biodiversity, water purification and regulation, and carbon sequestration and regulation of cultivated land in 2018. We designed a soil function discriminant matrix, constructed the supply-demand ratio, and evaluated the current status of supply and demand of soil functions. Soil functions demonstrated a distribution pattern Citation: Zhao, R.; Li, J.; Wu, K.; of high grade in the northeast and low grade in the southwest, mostly in second-level areas.
