摘要：In the summer of 1998, a series of devastating
floods occurred along the lower Yangtze river in
China, causing some USD 30 billion in damage
(equal to 20% of China.s GDP) and affecting the daily
lives of some 230 million people. One positive effect
of the floods and their aftermath is that people in
China are finally beginning to realize the severity of
the environmental degradation and the importance
of ecological conservation along the upper reaches
of the Yangtze. This region is characterized by great
biological and cultural diversity. Since the floods in
the lower Yangtze, the government authorities have
placed controls on logging in this region and have
announced a reforestation campaign.
