Mount Fanjing National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Guizhou Province has been officially included on the Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The Green List is a prestigious global program established by the IUCN to promote biodiversity conservation through the recognition of well-managed protected and conserved areas. It serves as a benchmark for assessing the management status and effectiveness of these regions worldwide.
The inclusion of Mount Fanjing National Nature Reserve on the IUCN Green List signifies international acknowledgment of its exceptional conservation efforts and its crucial role in maintaining global biodiversity. Authorities in Tongren City, where the mountain is located, highlighted the reserve's dedication to preserving its unique ecosystems and endangered species.
The IUCN is set to announce the new list of protected and conserved areas selected for the Green List 2024 at the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16), scheduled to take place in Colombia in late October.
