Protection of Valuable and Rare Species

There are forty seven kinds of precious botanic species that are near extinction and among the national-level protecting list in area of Three Gorges reservoir, but most of them grow in the area higher than 300-1200 m, which will not be influenced by the project. Also there are little virgin vegetation to be submerged.

Twenty six rare wild animals which are among the first and second classes of national list of protecting animals, but most of them lives in high mountain areas, and will not influenced by the submerge. Now the state has established a lot of natural zones to protect the wild animals and botanic species of this area.

Three Gorges dam will bring some influence on the traveling route and living locations of Acipenser Sinensis (Zhonghuaxun, a kind of large and rare fish). As early as Gezhouba dam was built, its traveling route in Yangtze River was cut by the dam. From then on, artificial breeding of the fish has been tested and succeeded, so some 100 thousands of baby fishes were poured into the river every year. And also some new spawning areas were found in downstream to Gezhouba. All these mean that the protection of Acipenser Sinensis goes well.
