Nature reserves in Qinghai Province (1975-2012)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

To better protect these precious natural heritages, rationally develop and utilize natural resources and carry out scientific research, since 1975, 11 natural reserves have been established in Qinghai province, which cover an area of 21,805,400 hectares. They account for 30.2% of the land area of Qinghai province. Six of these natural reserves are national reserves that cover an area of 20,625,900 hectares, and five are provincial reserves that cover an area of 1,179,550 hectares. Among the provincial natural reserves, the Geermu Populus Euphratica Forest and the Beichuan River Reserve in Datong County of Qinghai have already applied to be national natural reserves. Until the end of 2012, eleven natural reserves—5 national and 6 provincial—have been established.
