CHINA-YUNNAN-LIJIANG-YULONG SNOW MOUNTAIN-GLACIER-RESEARCHERS (CN)

(230707) -- LIJIANG, July 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yan Xingguo, a researcher with Yulong Snow Mountain Cryosphere and Sustainable Development Field Science Observation and Research Station, takes a water sample at an observation point along the Baishui River in Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, June 16, 2023. Yulong Snow Mountain Cryosphere and Sustainable Development Field Science Observation and Research Station, set up by Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of Chinese Academy of Sciences, is located in Lijiang City in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Since 2006, researchers have regularly monitored the condition of the Baishui River No. 1 Glacier and its surrounding environment on the snow mountain. According to Wang Shijin, a glaciologist and head of the station, part of the meltwater of the Yulong Snow Mountain flows to Lijiang ancient city, then flows into the Jinsha River from Heqing County in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. And the meltwater of Baishui River No. 1 Glaci

The Gyaimaryangzhong Glacier is the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, China's longest plateau river. To fight against the glacier shrinkage and other environmental challenges, China's top legislature adopted a law in late April to protect the fragile ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as "the roof of the world." The law requires establishing and improving the protection system of snow-capped mountains, glaciers and frozen soil on the plateau, and also aims to strengthen the monitoring, early warning and systematic protection of these natural resources. According to the newly-adopted law, provincial-level governments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau must establish and promote the implementation of ecological conservation red lines for large ice caps and glaciers, as well as for groups of small glaci
