The Eye On Ecology: China’S Ecological Monitoring Records (Volume 1)

This book is the first volume of the records from comprehensive observing stations under national ecological monitoring network led by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has successfully organized and carried out the selection of comprehensive ecological-qualified monitoring stations (referred to as “comprehensive stations”), with 171 comprehensive stations selected in China. It is planned that ultimately over 200 comprehensive stations will be incorporated into the national ecological quality monitoring network, fully leveraging their “control” role in supervision, monitoring and evaluation of ecological environment. It vividly showcases the ecological location characteristics, monitoring capabilities, and typical species within the first batch of 55 comprehensive stations, with both illustrations and text. It aims to enhance public awareness and participation in biodiversity conservation, continuously weaving a tighter ecological quality monitoring network. It will serve as an observational portal, enabling the world to witness China’s efforts and achievements in ecological monitoring.
