The development and protection of natural resources in Hengduan Mountains

It is characterized by great diversity in the vertical distribution of resources and by a vulnerable ecological environment. Avoiding environment degradation by irrational exploitation of natural resources and maintaining coordination and balance among population, resources, environment and economic development, requires strategies for reasonable utilization of wild plant and animal resources, lor establishment of nature conservation, for developing mountain eco-agri-culture, for actively tapping other energy sources and for protecting mountain forests.
