Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that China is building a natural protection system centered around national parks, with the Wuyi Mountain National Park in Fujian discovering 62 new species [1] Group 2 - The Jianfengling stick insect, a key protected insect in Fujian, can reach a female body length of 25-27 cm, with total length exceeding 30 cm, making it the longest insect in East China [2] - Jianfengling stick insect nymphs are distributed in tropical regions and have unique zebra-like patterns on their joints and short antennae [3] Group 3 - Wuyi Mountain has low-altitude valleys that allow tropical species to thrive, with Jianfengling stick insects found in evergreen broadleaf forests below 500 meters [7] - The Wuyi Mountain giant beetle, discovered only within the Wuyi Mountain National Park, is known for its rapid running ability and is one of the first key protected insects in Fujian [8] Group 4 - The Wuyi Mountain giant beetle has a red-golden body that can appear green from certain angles, and it loses its flying ability as it matures [8] - The giant beetle can spray a pungent, acidic liquid from its abdomen to defend against predators [8]

Core Viewpoint - The transfer of local administrative responsibilities for the Wolong Special Administrative Region marks a significant step in the management reform of the Giant Panda National Park in Sichuan, China, enhancing ecological protection and social development in the region [1][2]. Group 1: Administrative Changes - The Sichuan Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau officially transferred local administrative responsibilities to Aba Prefecture and Wenchuan County, indicating a shift towards localized governance [1]. - Responsibilities for economic and social development, public services, and social management have been assigned to Wenchuan County, while road management duties have been divided between Aba Prefecture and Wenchuan County [1]. - The core ecological area’s habitat protection will be overseen by the soon-to-be-established Wolong Branch of the Giant Panda National Park [1]. Group 2: Historical Context and Significance - Established in March 1983, the Wolong Special Administrative Region has played a crucial role in ecological protection and livelihood development, covering an area of 2,000 square kilometers and housing over 5,000 residents [1][2]. - The region is recognized as the most complete habitat for wild giant pandas globally, with 149 wild pandas recorded as of last year, reflecting a significant increase since its establishment [2]. - The average annual income of rural residents in the region has increased to over 19,000 yuan, nearly doubling since 1983, showcasing the economic development alongside ecological conservation [2]. Group 3: National Park Integration - The establishment of the Giant Panda National Park in 2021 integrated the Wolong Special Administrative Region, aiming for cross-regional habitat protection and breaking down administrative barriers [2]. - The existing local administrative system was deemed inadequate for current needs, necessitating the transfer of responsibilities to local governance to streamline management processes [2].

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of national standards for evaluating the ecological protection effectiveness of national parks and nature parks is crucial for enhancing regulatory oversight in these areas [1][2]. Group 1: National Standards and Evaluation Framework - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment is developing evaluation standards for the ecological protection effectiveness of national parks and nature parks, aiming to provide technical guidance for overall regulatory improvement [1][2]. - The draft standards, titled "Technical Specifications for Evaluating the Ecological Protection Effectiveness of National Parks" and "Technical Specifications for Evaluating the Ecological Protection Effectiveness of Nature Parks," are open for public consultation starting from the 29th [1][2]. - The overall plan for establishing the national park system emphasizes the need for evaluations of ecosystem status, environmental quality changes, and the implementation of ecological civilization systems, including the establishment of a third-party evaluation system [2]. Group 2: Evaluation Criteria and Methodology - The evaluation of national park ecological protection effectiveness will assess aspects such as ecosystem authenticity, integrity, functionality, biodiversity, water quality, major threats, violations, and monitoring status, with a recommended evaluation cycle of every five years [3]. - The evaluation for nature parks will focus on the protection status of natural ecosystems, key species, and natural relics, with specific indicators selected based on the characteristics of each nature park [3]. - The evaluation methodology will combine quantitative and qualitative assessments, covering natural ecology, environmental quality, ecological stress, violations, and monitoring status [3]. Group 3: Consequences of Evaluation Results - If significant environmental incidents caused by human factors occur, or if there are major pollution or ecological damage issues that are reported by central ecological environment protection inspections and not rectified on time, the evaluation result for the nature park will be downgraded to "poor" [4]. - For lesser incidents that are not rectified on time, the evaluation result may also be downgraded by one level [4].
