1. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, mountains and rivers, gardens, hunting, urban greening, sewage discharge, shrines in suburban temples and famous mountains in wuyue were all included in the scope of government management. The Law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates in detail the measures to protect the natural environment and living environment and the punishment standards for offenders.
2. At that time, the government also designated 300 miles in the suburbs of Jingzhao, Henan and other places as no-cutting areas or no-hunting areas, and set up "nature reserves" to protect natural resources and ecological environment, which played a great role in protecting the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Significance of establishing nature reserves
1. Nature reserve is an important means to protect rare and endangered species. With the expansion of human activities, the living space of many wild animals and plants is seriously threatened. The establishment of nature reserves can provide a relatively safe living environment for these species, thus protecting biodiversity.
2. Nature reserves help to maintain ecological balance. Ecosystem is a complex network, and various species are interdependent and mutually restricted. When the number of a species is too large or too small, it may have adverse effects on the whole ecosystem. By establishing nature reserves, the number of species can be effectively controlled and the stability of the ecosystem can be maintained.
3. Nature reserves also help to promote sustainable development. Protecting natural resources and ecological environment can provide long-term and stable resource supply for human beings and meet their needs for a better life. At the same time, nature reserves can also provide important experimental sites for scientific research and promote the development of science and technology.
It is a "natural gene bank": nature reserves can preserve many species and various types of ecosystems. Natural laboratory for scientific research: nature reserves provide a good foundation for biological science research. It is a "living museum of nature": to popularize knowledge of nature to people and enhance their awareness of environmental protection.
5. It is helpful to strengthen the research of biological species and the utilization of species resources: As the scale of human activities is getting larger and larger, many species disappear before they are fully understood, which brings great losses to human beings when they begin to use natural resources.
