Intact Forest Landscapes on Greater Khingan Mountains in China

On Greater Khingan Mountains, in the northeast of China, is the biggest area of natural Bright coniferous forest. The area at the northeast end of Inner Mongolia is under enclosure management and is protected, which makes it become one of the only remaining IFL (Intact Forest Landscapes) in China. Greater Khingan Mountains is the homeland of many cherished plants and animals, and also the homeland of Evenki people who immigrated to the region 300 years ago. The implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Programme, which started with the foundation of New China in 1949, totally changed the lives of people who worked in the forestry industry in the Greater Khingan Mountains.
