The Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve4 is located in Southwest China, Sichuan Province. The reserve takes its name from the small Tangjia River, which goes through the reserve and flows into the Yangtze, the longest river in China. It was wasteland years ago. The logging5 and poaching6 broke Tangjiahes ecosystem7. The animals just ran way.

唐家河國家级自然保护区位于中国西南部的四川省。该保护区的名称来自小唐家河,这条河穿过保护区,流入中国最长的河流长江。此地多年前是荒原,伐木和偷猎破坏了唐家河的生态系统,动物都逃离了这儿。

The reserve was finished in 1978. In 1983, an observation8 station was built for giant pandas, making it the second largest one at that time. In 1985, hundreds of villagers from the heartland moved and made space for rare9 plants and animals, such as pandas. Then many animals under state protection10 returned to Tangjiahe.

该保护区于1978年完工。1983年,建造了一个大熊猫观测站,成为当时的第二大观测站。1985年,中心地带的数百名村民搬家,为熊猫等稀有动植物腾出空间。之后许多受国家保护的动物返回了唐家河。

In 2014, a wild otter11 showed up there, which is under second-class state protection. It was the first time that a wild otter was caught by camera in the country since 2000. Seven natural science museums were built there. About 5,000 students from middle and primary schools visited Tangjiahe last year.

2014年,一只野生水獭在唐家河出现了,这是国家二级保护动物。自2000年以来,这是我国第一次在野外用相机拍到水獭。唐家河建成了七个自然科学博物馆。去年,大约有5000名中小学学生游览了唐家河。

Local government has spent large amount of money helping people to develop their business. In Yinping village, a few kilometers from the reserve, more than 100 family hotels have showed up. Deng Xiaofeng opened the villages first family hotel 14 years ago. She has 32 guestrooms after expanding12. Last year, her business brought in over 200,000 yuan. She says, “The environment is getting better. And our lives are getting better.”

当地政府已花费大量资金来帮助人们发展业务。在距离保护区几公里的银屏(音)村,有100多家家庭旅馆。邓小凤(音)在14年前开设了该村的第一家家庭旅馆。扩建后,她有32间客房。去年,她的生意收入超过20万元。她说:“环境越来越好,我们的生活也越来越好。”
