湖北省水鸟的多样性及其保护对策

Biodiversity and Conservation Countermeasures of Water Birds in Hubei

湖北省位于长江中游,地处我国南北过渡地带。境内河流纵横、湖泊众多,湿地资源丰富,享有“千湖之省”、“鱼米之乡”的美誉。湿地类型既有平原湿地,又有亚高山湿地,湿地总面积在161.7万hm2以上。复杂的湿地环境和丰富的湿地生物资源,使湖北成为水鸟重要的繁殖地、迁徙停歇地和越冬地。在我国的231种水鸟中,湖北省有126种,隶属7目19科58属。其中,属于国家重点保护的有20种,属于湖北省省级重点保护的有18种。笔者对湖北省水鸟的物种多样性、种群数量、生态分布规律进行阐述,并提出了相应的保护对策。

Hubei Province, situates in transitional zones between South and North China along the middle reach of Yangtze River, has long been enjoying the prestige of ＂a province with a thousand lakes＂ and ＂a land flow with milk and honey＂ due to rich wetland resources. The total area of wetland is 161.7 hm^2 including plain wetland and sub-alpine wetland. Hubei Province is the important breed place, migrate place and stop-over place in winter because of good habitats and abundant wetland biology resources. There are 126 species of water birds of 58 genuses of 19 families of 7 orders in Hubei and 231 species in China. In which 20 species Were in the national protected bird and 18 species are provincial protected bird. The author describes the water bird biodiversity, population quantity, eco-distribution and puts forward the accordingly conservation countermeasures.
