Ayakekumu Lake in NW China's Xinjiang grows in size

STORY: Ayakekumu Lake in NW China's Xinjiang grows in size DATELINE: March 23, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:44 LOCATION: URUMQI, China CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT SHOTLIST: 1. various of Ayakekumu Lake 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ZHU CHENGGANG, Associate Researcher at Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences STORYLINE: Through remote sensing observations, researchers have discovered that over the past 30 years, the water area of Ayakekumu Lake in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has expanded to 1127.72 square kilometers. Researchers say the expansion is connected to climate change. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ZHU CHENGGANG, Associate Researcher at Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences "Based on our scientific speculation, rising temperatures and increased precipitation in mountainous areas both could have contributed to the significant increase in the water area of the mountain lakes." The expert said that further research is needed to reveal w

The Zoige Wetland Ecology Research Station, established by the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Sichuan Province, went operational on Friday. The station is expected to provide scientific and technical support and policy recommendations for regional ecological protection and sustainable socio-economic development in southwest China, and also make scientific explorations for global wetland protection, according to Gao Yongheng, head of the research station. The Zoige plateau, one of the main distribution areas of high-altitude wetlands in China, serves as an important ecological barrier.
