Atlas of biodiversity and conservation in the Yangtze River Basin

WWF has produced this atlas to help guide efforts in conserving the biodiversity in the Yangtze basin upon which economic development depends. It is based on extensive research by leading experts on the distribution of key protected species and zones of high biodiversity in the basin. The atlas not only increases our understanding of biodiversity in the Yangtze Basin but also can serve as an important planning tool to facilitate biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilization of the basin's resources.
