Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – The Laojunshan National Nature Reserve Conservation Center in Pingshan County, Sichuan Province, announced on the 9th that the nation's first artificial breeding base for the Sichuan Partridge has passed its final acceptance inspection at the center. The completion of this base marks a crucial step forward in the systematic and scientific protection of this rare and endangered pheasant species in my country.
The Sichuan Partridge Artificial Breeding Base is located in Xintianzui, Longhua Town, Pingshan County. With a total investment of approximately 1.24 million yuan and a building area of over 460 square meters, the building boasts a simple and dignified exterior, with a gray and white color scheme that blends harmoniously with the environment. In terms of functional layout, the base is equipped not only with standard office, meeting, and duty rooms, but also features specialized incubation rooms, brooding rooms, feed storage rooms, and a series of scientific research facilities, including a physicochemical pretreatment room, reagent analysis room, and inoculation culture room, creating a comprehensive conservation platform integrating breeding, rescue, monitoring, and scientific research.
The Sichuan Partridge Artificial Breeding Base, which also serves as a rescue and breeding base for rare pheasants in the southwestern mountains, is expected to officially open in February next year. At that time, the base will focus on the Sichuan Partridge, systematically carrying out artificial breeding, wild rescue, and scientific research monitoring of rare and endangered pheasants. It aims to become a model case for ecological civilization construction in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region and an important showcase for biodiversity conservation in Pingshan County.
It is understood that the Sichuan Partridge is a Class I protected wild animal in China, distributed only in a very narrow area in southern Sichuan and northeastern Yunnan. Its population is small, and its conservation situation is severe. (End)
