ECOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTION AND PROTECTION IN THE WETLAND REGION OF THREE-GORGE RESERVOIR AREA

The construction of the Three-Gorge Reservoir may bring not only new opportunities for regional development, but also new problems in relation to ecological environment. After the completion of the Three-Gorge Reservoir in Yangtze River, wetland regions will appear, where the water level will be fluctuating with seasons along both banks in the reservoir. This kind of wetland can provide special structures, functions, and environmental landscapes, as an important ecotone. Attention should be paid to the protection and exploitation of eco-environment and resources of the wetland zone. According to the geographical conditions for the wetland in the reservoir, the countermeasures for ecological protection and land use are put forward.
