Located in the southwest of Anhui Province, at the southeast foot of Dabieshan, Tianzhushan is endowed with natural resources, and it is not only a UNESCO Global Geopark, but also a National AAAAA Tourist Attraction, a National Forest Park and a natural and cultural heritage site in China. Qianshan City, where Tianzhushan is located, is one of the first batch of national key ecological function areas and national biodiversity protection priority areas, and is one of the areas with the richest wildlife resources in Anhui Province, with important functions of soil and water conservation and biodiversity protection. Tianzhushan UGGp has continuously strengthened biodiversity protection through biodiversity investigation and assessment, protected areas supervision, biological resources conservation, publicity and guidance, and has formed a new pattern of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.


Together with Anqing Normal University and Anhui University, Tianzhushan UGGp carried out the background investigation and assessment of biodiversity and terrestrial ecosystems, animals and plants, insects and biodiversity-related traditional knowledge within Tianzhushan area, and formed a biodiversity background investigation and assessment report and the species list database, etc., to provide objective and real data support for the next step of biodiversity protection. A total of 1,351 species of higher plants in 703 genera and 206 families, 264 species of vertebrates of 77 families and 26 orders, 4 species of wild animals and plants under national first-class key protection, and more than 30 species of wild animals and plants under national second-class key protection have been recorded.


Tianzhushan UGGp severely cracks down on the destruction of wild animal and plant resources and indiscriminate hunting of wild animals, and carries out timely breeding and protection of precious and rare plants through the establishment of botanical gardens, forest development bases, seed banks and other protection facilities, in addition, the geopark establishes a system for the management of species resource archives, and cooperates with scientific research units to carry out dynamic monitoring and management of animal and plant resources in protected areas, and implements resource sharing. On the basis of giving priority to protection, Tianzhushan Geopark has actively and steadily carried out the utilization of biological resources and activities concerning undergrowth economy and forest health care.


Tianzhushan Geopark attaches great importance to education on biodiversity protection and holds training courses on biodiversity monitoring and patrol capabilities, so as to improve employees' awareness and ability to protect biodiversity. With two biodiversity science popularization and publicity bases successively built, namely the Tianzhushan Geopark Museum and the Qianshui River National Wetland Park Publicity and Education Center, Tianzhushan UGGp applies the method of "traditional media + new media" to carry out biodiversity protection publicity activities in campuses, communities and protected areas on World Wildlife Day, World Wetlands Day, Bird Loving Week, World Environment Day and Biodiversity Conservation Day, and disseminates conservation knowledge and relevant laws and regulations, enhancing the public's awareness of biodiversity protection.
