浙江省生物多样性保护工作取得显著成效。该省中华凤头燕鸥保护成果突出，成鸥数量已占到全球85%以上[1]。在物种调查方面，浙江已累计投入近2亿元开展生物多样性调查[1]，共记录物种13634种，包括高等植物6606种、陆生动物4663种、淡水鱼类198种、海洋鱼类121种、其他水生生物332种和大型真菌1714种[1]。
为保护生态环境，浙江已划定3.67万平方公里生态保护红线，建立1.47万平方公里自然保护地体系[1]，成为全国首个完成自然保护地整合优化的省份[1]。极危物种的拯救取得突破性进展：朱鹮种群数量从20年前的10只增长到960只[1]，曾仅存1株的普陀鹅耳枥野外回归4000余株，曾仅存3株的百山祖冷杉野外种群扩展到近4000株[1]。此外，浙江已累计建成53个省级生物多样性体验地[1]。
Zhejiang Province has made significant strides in protecting biological diversity, with flagship species recovery serving as a testament to its ecological conservation efforts. The Chinese crested tern population now accounts for over 85% of the global population, representing a major conservation success [1]. The province has invested nearly 200 million yuan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period to conduct comprehensive biodiversity surveys, documenting a total of 13,634 species across multiple taxonomic groups [1].
The scope of Zhejiang's biodiversity work extends across diverse habitats and species types. Recorded species include 6,606 vascular plants, 4,663 terrestrial animals, 198 freshwater fish species, 121 marine fish species, 332 other aquatic organisms, and 1,714 macrofungi [1]. Beyond the crested tern, other species have experienced remarkable population rebounds: the crested ibis population has grown from 10 individuals two decades ago to 960 individuals, while the Putuo holly—once reduced to a single wild specimen—now numbers over 4,000 individuals in natural habitats [1]. The Baishanzu fir, similarly recovered from just three wild plants, has expanded to approximately 4,000 individuals [1].
To support this conservation framework, Zhejiang has established comprehensive protective infrastructure. The province has designated 36,700 square kilometers of ecological protection red lines and created a nature reserve system covering 14,700 square kilometers, making it the first province in China to complete the integrated optimization of natural protected areas [1]. The province has also developed 53 provincial biodiversity experience sites to promote public engagement with conservation efforts [1].
