"Karst" was originally the name of the limestone plateau in the Istra Peninsula (now Croatia) in northwest Yugoslavia, where there are typical karst landforms. The word "karst" is synonymous with karst landform.
Karst landforms refer to various landforms formed when soluble rocks are dissolved by water and accompanied by mechanical action, such as stone buds, stone gullies, stone forests, peak forests, sinkholes, funnels, karst depressions, caves and underground rivers. In the karst landform development area, there are many strange peaks on the ground, and the surface water system is relatively lacking, but the groundwater system is relatively developed. Karst landforms are widely distributed in Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places in China, and are one of the most typical karst landforms in the world. Karst is a unique landform phenomenon in carbonate rock distribution area. China is the earliest country in the world to record and study karst landforms, which was recorded as early as the Jin Dynasty, especially the Travels of Xu Xiake written by Xu Hongzu (1586 ~ 164 1) in the Ming Dynasty.
Chongqing Wulong karst protection
In June 2007, Chongqing Wulong and Guizhou Libo, together with Yunnan Shilin, were listed as "bound" world natural heritage. Libo County, Guizhou Province is located in the south of Guizhou Province and is known as the "Karst Kingdom". Libo Karst has become an outstanding representative of "Karst in South China" with its typical conical karst landform and biodiversity.
Xinhuanet Chongqing165438+1October 7 th In order to protect the world natural heritage from destruction, Chongqing will strengthen the protection of Wulong karst world natural heritage and promote its sustainable development and utilization in accordance with the requirements of the World Heritage Convention and the Code for the Management of Heritage Sites.
Chongqing Wulong karst is an important part of karst in southern China, including Furong Cave, Tiansheng Third Bridge and Houping Erosive Tiankeng karst system. At the 3 1 World Heritage Conference held on June 27th, Chongqing Wulong Karst was successfully listed in the World Heritage List together with Yunnan Shilin and Guizhou Libo Karst.
After the successful application for World Heritage, Chongqing adjusted the core area and buffer area with a total area of 380 square kilometers according to the suggestions of experts at home and abroad.
The new buffer zone is divided into three parts: Furong Cave, Tiansheng Third Bridge and Houping Tiankeng, which are connected in series by a complete water system with Wujiang as the link. Different types of typical karst landscapes have been formed on the three tributaries. Wulong County will implement returning farmland to forests in the adjusted core area and buffer zone, involving fairy mountain, Xiangkou, Huolu and other towns 1 1, covering an area of more than 96,000 mu.
Chongqing Transportation Department and Wulong County will further improve the road network in the heritage site, connecting Furong Cave, Tiansheng Third Bridge and Houping Tiankeng, and connecting fairy mountain in series to form a circular tour. The road connecting scenic spots does not pursue speed, but creates an ecological road.
In order to ensure that the heritage site is not damaged, Wulong County will set up video surveillance systems at the main traffic distribution centers and entrances and exits, and expand the monitoring scope to all areas of the heritage site. At present, the construction project of satellite real-time monitoring system has been completed in Furong River National Scenic Area.
In the heritage site, Chongqing will build an environmental monitoring station, equipped with monitoring instruments and professionals, to regularly monitor the water body, atmosphere, temperature and humidity of the heritage site to ensure that the environment of the heritage site is effectively protected. At the same time, the hidden dangers of geological disasters will also be monitored and treated.
It is reported that Chongqing will also legislate for the protection of Wulong Karst World Heritage, clarify the behaviors prohibited by heritage sites, standardize various activities, and fully bring the management of heritage sites into the legal track.
