江苏发布首部省级生物多样性观测站建设技术规范

Core Viewpoint - The release of the Jiangsu Province local standard "Technical Specifications for the Construction of Biodiversity Observation Stations" (DB32/T5288-2025) marks a new phase in the standardized and systematic construction of biodiversity observation capabilities in Jiangsu Province, effective from January 30, 2026 [1][3]. Group 1 - Biodiversity standardization observation serves as an "ecological sentinel" for accurately grasping species dynamics and assessing biodiversity changes [3]. - Jiangsu Province aims to establish a comprehensive biodiversity observation network to enhance biodiversity protection outcomes, leveraging its diverse ecosystems and rare species [3][7]. - The newly released standard provides a technical foundation for building a unified and standardized observation network across the province, supporting high-quality observation capabilities [3][7]. Group 2 - The standard emphasizes principles of feasibility, standardization, protection, and representativeness in the construction of observation stations, addressing site selection, station construction, equipment configuration, quality control, and naming rules [7]. - It introduces an innovative model that integrates observation, research, and public education, breaking the limitations of traditional observation stations [7]. - The standard incorporates advanced technologies such as AI recognition and environmental DNA, promoting the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of observation work [7]. Group 3 - The implementation of this standard is crucial for building a biodiversity observation network in Jiangsu, which includes areas along the Yangtze River, Grand Canal, coastal regions, and low mountainous areas [7]. - It aims to enhance biodiversity observation and assessment capabilities, improve ecological protection spatial patterns, and strengthen ecological protection and restoration supervision [7]. - The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment will organize the promotion and implementation of the standard to ensure its effective application [7].
