Doesn't always have to be the federal government. In the good old USA, we have State Parks to complement the National Park Service, the Forest Service and our BLM landscapes. Local government open space programs play a HUGE role in conservation. Lesser known, tribal parks are some of the best, off-the-beaten-track vacation stoppers. Gems like Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation, and Ute Mountain Tribal Park, which has it all over neighboring Mesa Verde for visitor experience, and the Wind River Roadless Area which is in a class with any federally designated Wilderness Area, anywhere -- to name just three. Back to Bedford's post, why does the picture show a dry desert which looks nothing like Yellowstone, instead of the stunning scenery depicted on the TNC Pudacuo webpage? The first one wouldn't make me want to cross the street; whereas the latter has me saying, I need to get back to China to check this out. Good post, good perspective.

Hopefully more regional governments do similar projects to protect the many of China's beautiful nature. This is really great news.

"China's not the hulking all powerful government you think it is." it's all about the different regional governments jockeying for power. Would be interesting to know more about the project. what speed bumps have been encountered? how well protected is the area? how permanent is it? interesting. i live in beijing, and it’s one of the main thing i tell friends and family back home. “China’s not the hulking all powerful government you think it is.” it’s all about the different regional governments jockeying for power.
