CCTV news: Puzuhei in Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, is located in the core area of the Karst Landform in Yunnan, Qiangui, Yunnan. Puzuhei is a Yi language, which means pond with abundant fish and shrimp, and the unique karst landform and hydrological environment have also bred the rich biodiversity and uniqueness of Puzuhei.
Here is Qiubei County's Puzuhei, 312 lone peaks dotted with dots, 83 caves in a variety of shapes, 54 lakes connected to each other, and 40,000 acres of plateau karst wetlands and Shishan peak forests are integrated, forming a unique karst lake wetland ecosystem. There are more than 20,000 acres of water surface in Puzhu black, and there are tens of thousands of acres of wild lotus flowers alone. In August this year, a wild two-colored and tilian plant attracted a lot of attention, and two flowers bloomed on one stalk, and the color was different, which was very amazing. Experts say that this "same stem different color" of the two-color and Tilian flowers are treasured.
In recent years, Puzuhei has established a provincial nature reserve, built a pilot project of Puzhehei Karst National Wetland Park, carried out wetland restoration work for the living environment of wetland animals and plants, and provided suitable habitats for waterfowl and birds with good water body systems and ecological functions.
Reporter Duan Yu: Karst landforms are complex and diverse, and it is most appropriate to describe them as having other caves. Now we come to an underground cave with crystalline stalactites and many endemic fish living in the cave.
In order to protect the living environment of these cave fish, the local fishing station has carried out artificial breeding and stocking of these fish, and gradually established a national very small population protected species. Today, the population of these endemic fish species has increased from 4 previous species to 12 species.
The effective protection and restoration of wetland ecosystems also breeds biodiversity and uniqueness. According to statistics, the number of birds has reached 209 species, the distribution of fish has reached 89 species, and the number of vascular plants has reached 823 species, making it a well-deserved biological paradise.
