Mangrove forest better protected in S. China nature reserve
NANNING, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- A supervision station has been established to protect a 1,131-hectare mangrove forest, the largest of this kind in Chinese mainland, in a nature reserve of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
A Web site "www.fcghsl.com" was also opened last Tuesday to specifically introduce the mangrove forest located at the estuary of the Beilun River across China-Vietnam border, a source with the Beilunhekou National Nature Reserve of the region said.
The largest seashore mangrove forest on China's mainland, the mangrove in the nature reserve boasts a well-preserved mangrove ecosystem with 14 known trees and shrubs, according to the source.
Mangrove forests are buffer against tsunamis and storm surges.
Since the disastrous Dec. 26 tsunami in 2004 in the Indian Ocean, China has strengthened protection of seashore mangrove forests. Six national nature reserves have been established to protect mangrove forests across the country.
