Implement a "sky-ground-air" three-dimensional patrol system, utilizing high-tech and information technology to enhance the intelligent capability of animal monitoring, improve patrol efficiency, and effectively address issues such as wildlife hazards faced by manual patrols.
Sufficient financial budget: An investment of 70 million yuan has been allocated for the construction of the Smart Management System Platform and the Nanshan National Park Perception System Platform.
Management support: The management believes this initiative to be essential, having conducted multiple internal discussions and research within the administration bureau, and has entrusted relevant technical units with the development of the system.
Included in the annual work plan: The task has been incorporated into the management bureau's annual work plan, with a dedicated department responsibly advancing the work in an orderly manner.
- Provide training workshops focusing on sustainable fishing methods, resource management, and the legal ramifications of illegal fishing practices.
- Work with local authorities to educate them about the role of the associations and the necessity of enforcing regulations that protect their members and the ecosystem.
Every descent into each village, our team was always accompanied by staff from the regional directorate of fishing and the blue economy (DRPEB). Through fieldworks, they took the opportunity to raise awareness about fishing regulations, reminders of laws and procedures as well as respect for fishing calendars for various fishery resources.
- Create operational guidelines that detail how the association will manage fishing activities, including rules about fishery zones, seasonal closures, and sustainable practices.
- Establish a monitoring system to ensure compliance with these rules, reinforcing accountability among members.
The fishermen cards, which are essential for lawful fishing, operate as a crucial incentive; those who do not secure membership within their respective associations will be ineligible to receive these cards, exposing them to potential legal repercussions.
Through these associations, local fishermen gain official membership status, which is a prerequisite for obtaining their professional fishermen cards.
- Develop a procedure for registering members in the association, ensuring they meet all local requirements.
- Guide association members through the process of obtaining their fishermen cards, emphasizing its importance as a legal requirement for their livelihood.
-Taking fishermen identities, information and photo
- Conduct community meetings to gather fishers and discuss the benefits of forming local associations.
- Facilitate the establishment of association statutes that outline membership requirements, roles, and responsibilities.
This mechanism serves dual purposes: it not only regulates access to the fishing grounds by preventing unauthorized fishing activities from transient fishers but also fosters a sense of community ownership among the local population.
As they each have their own statutes and internal regulations but also their common fund allowing their association to develop
Conception of one action plan with the Regional Directorate of Fisheries and Blue Economy (DRPEB) of Diana
In close collaboration with the Regional Directorate of Fishing and the Blue Economy of Diana, with whom we developed an action plan for the implementation of all the activity, mutually approved and signed.
It is always necessary to establish synergy with the partners concerned in order to be able to implement the planned activities effectively and efficiently.
Based on the results of the biodiversity assessments, the NCW undertook a re-zoning of the protected area. Different zones were established according to biodiversity needs. The zoning plan was prepared to include a set of zonation categories that are firstly responsive to the IUCN categories, and secondly responsive to the natural, man-made and cultural historic environment of the Protected Area. Different identified zones are respectively Pristine Wilderness (18% of the PA), Remote Wilderness (42%), Restricted Wilderness (33%), Low Intensity Use (7%) and High Intensity Use Zone (0.05%). The zoning was carried out following comprehensive socio-economic surveys and consultations with local communities, ensuring careful consideration of benefit-sharing mechanisms. Since the zoning was limited to the designated protected area, the impact on the surrounding communities—few in number—was minimal.
The reintroduction program was also seen as an effort to restore the habitat itself. By bringing back these species, the NCW aimed to re-establish the natural processes that had been disrupted by their absence. Measures were taken to restore the natural habitat of these species to ensure successful reintroduction. Restoration of the reference ecological conditions entailed the restoration of the native vegetation and the management of exotic and/or invasive plants.
Habitat degradation resulting from developmental activities is being effectively mitigated in the reserve through strategic measures aimed at controlling human settlements and enforcing regulations pertaining to grazing and hunting activities.
To restore the ecosystem's structure, function, and biodiversity, collaborative efforts with the National Centre for Vegetation Cover (NCVC) have facilitated extensive plantation drives across designated areas.
Invasive Species Management: A comprehensive management plan has been devised by the National Centre for Wildlife in partnership with the NCVC to address the proliferation of invasive species within the reserve.
In addition to these efforts grazing pressure is being managed by zoning the reserve.
