The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is known as "Oulu" in Naxi, meaning "Heavenly Mountain". Due to the large drop in height of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it has a complete vertical zone of natural landscape from the river valley at the foot of the mountain to the peak with subtropical, temperate to cold zones. This is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna, including 13 species of nationally protected animals and 20 species of nationally protected plants. Between 1982 and 2002, the tongue of the largest glacier on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Baishui 1, retreated by approximately 250 metres and reduced in thickness and snow area. The end of the glacier rose in elevation from 4,255m in 2004 to 4,320m in 2009; the width of the glacier at 4,680m shrank from 336m in 2004 to 318m in 2009. Global warming is the main reason for the retreat of glaciers on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
