Description
Jiuzhai Valley National Park is a nature reserve located in the north of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. A long valley running north to south, Jiuzhaigou was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992 and a World Biosphere Reserve in 1997. It belongs to category V (Protected Landscape) in the IUCN system of protected area categorization.
The Jiuzhai Valley is part of the Min Mountains on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau and stretches over 72,000 hectares (180,000 acres). It has an altitude of over 4800 meters and is composed of diverse forest ecosystems. It is known for its many multi-level waterfalls, colourful lakes, and snow-capped peaks. Its elevation ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 metres (6,600 to 14,800 ft).
Digital interpretation can effectively address Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.1, which focuses on ensuring the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services.
Jiuzhai Valley is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides. Digital interpretation systems can include features that educate and inform visitors about what to do in case of emergencies, thereby enhancing safety. Additionally, these systems can be used to monitor the park’s condition in real-time, aiding in quick response and recovery efforts following natural disasters.
