Site description (2009 baseline):

Located along the border of Tongjiang and Fuyuan counties. This was the first nature reserve established in the Sanjiang wetlands. The forest patches provide breeding sites for Ciconia boyciana.

Non-bird biodiversity: Twenty-five mammal species have been recorded in the area, including seven that are nationally protected. Nationally protected plants include Phellodendron chinense, Fraxinus mandshurica and Juglans mandshurica.

Established as a provincial-level nature reserve in 1984, upgraded to Honghe National Nature Reserve in 1996, and designated in 2002 as a ‘Wetland of International Importance’ (or Ramsar site) under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. There are no people resident in the reserve, and the biodiversity and natural environment are well preserved.
