四川大熊貓棲息地

Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries(GOOGLE MAP)

Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, home to more than 30% of the world's highly endangered pandas, covers 924,500 ha with seven nature reserves and nine scenic parks in the Qionglai and Jiajin Mountains. The sanctuaries constitute the largest remaining contiguous habitat of the giant panda, a relict from the paleo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Era. It is also the species' most important site for captive breeding. The sanctuaries are home to other globally endangered animals such as the red panda, the snow leopard and clouded leopard. They are among the botanically richest sites of any region in the world, outside the tropical rain forests, with between 5,000 and 6,000 species of flora in over 1,000 genera.

四川大熊貓棲息地,是全球最大最完整的大熊貓棲息地,擁有全世界30%以上的野生大熊貓。棲息地主要包括邛崍山系的大熊貓棲息地-臥龍、四姑娘山、夾金山,涵蓋9個風景名勝區和7個自然保護區,面積924500公頃。這裡約生活著300餘隻大熊貓和大量珍稀動植物。
大熊貓棲息的山嶺間由於被河流以及公路隔開,造成其遷徙困難,熊貓普遍近親繁殖、種群退化。大熊貓是世界上最珍貴的瀕危動物之一,被稱為「活化石」。目前,全世界野生大熊貓僅存1,590隻左右,主要分布在中國大陸四川省和陝西省。
