China's first national park will invest 1 billion RMB in infrastructure before the end of 2017. Sanjiangyuan National Park will also carry out an investigation of natural resources, define the ownership of natural resource assets and use big data to conduct scientific and managerial research, said Li Xiaonan, chief of the administrative bureau of the park, China News Service reported on Jan. 16.
The investment will primarily support infrastructure construction, including conservation stations, ecological monitoring facilities, landmark buildings, forestry police stations and comprehensive service centers.
According to Li, the park will bring big data into its management techniques and scientific research. The data comes from an ecological monitoring network data center in Qinghai province.
"The park will conduct investigations of natural resources including water, trees, grassland, wetland and wildlife," said Li. In addition, the park will improve its fundraising structure to better manage donations.
To protect the waters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang (Mekong) rivers, Sanjiangyuan National Park will cover 123,100 square kilometers by 2020.
