Lingnan: Beauty Beyond Borders | The year 2026 marks the 70th anniversary of China’s nature reserve system. Dinghushan National Nature Reserve, home to one of the world’s best-preserved evergreen broad-leaved forests along the Tropic of Cancer, became China’s first nature reserve in 1956, marking the beginning of modern nature conservation in China. Over the past 70 years, Dinghushan has preserved one of the country’s most complete subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest ecosystems, with 1,948 species of wild plants recorded. Today, the reserve is advancing smart conservation initiatives and working with South China National Botanical Garden to build an integrated in-situ and ex-situ conservation system, enhancing rare species monitoring, ecosystem research, and public science education. #SplendidLingnan

2026年恰逢中国自然保护区建设70周年。鼎湖山，这片北回归线上的常绿阔叶林瑰宝，于1956年正式成为中国第一个自然保护区，拉开了新中国自然保护事业的序幕。70年来，鼎湖山保存着我国最完整的南亚热带季风常绿阔叶林生态系统，野生高等植物达1948种。如今，鼎湖山正加速智慧化升级，协同华南国家植物园构建就地—迁地一体化保护体系，实现珍稀物种监测、生态系统研究、自然教育科普全面提质。
