Example 青海三江源国家级自然保护区位于青藏高原腹地，青海省南部，地理位置介于东经89°24′～102°23′，北纬31°39′～36°16′之间，青海三江源国家级自然保护区属湿地类型的自然保护区。总面积39.5万平方公里。青海三江源国家级自然保护区主要保护对象是国家重点保护的藏羚羊、雪豹、兰科植物等。 浙江杭州西溪国家湿地公园是位于浙江省杭州市西湖区境内的旅游景区，地处西湖区和余杭区交界处，距西湖不到5千米，规划总面积11.5平方千米。浙江杭州西溪国家湿地公园内河流总长约100千米，其中约70%的面积为河港、池塘、湖漾、沼泽等水域。湿地公园内生态资源丰富、自然景观幽雅、文化积淀深厚，与西湖、西泠并称杭州“三西”。 塞罕坝林场坐落于河北承德，早年这里土地荒芜、风沙肆虐，是一片贫瘠的荒漠。为改善生态环境，三代建设者扎根高寒荒漠，克服严寒、干旱等艰苦条件，因地制宜栽种耐寒适生树木，大规模植树造林。人们顺应自然规律，科学培育林木，用心守护植被，逐步修复受损生态，将茫茫沙地改造为百万亩人工林海。 如今的塞罕坝绿树连绵，有效防风固沙、涵养水源、净化空气，阻挡了沙尘侵袭，维护区域生态平衡，也为各类野生动植物创造了栖息家园。同时，当地依托绿色资源发展生态旅游，带动产业发展，实现生态保护与民生发展双赢。塞罕坝的蜕变，是人类改造自然、守护自然的典范，生动诠释了人与自然和谐共生的深刻意义。 Pair work. Discuss with your partner some examples of people and nature living in harmony with each other. Step 1 Work in groups. Search for information about examples of humans living in harmony with nature in China. They can be in your hometown or community or other places in China. Then take a group vote to decide on the example. • What is the example? What are the benefits to humans? • How does it respect nature? What are the benefits to nature? Step 1 What is the example? What are the benefits to humans? Our example is the restoration of Xiamen's wetland parks in Fujian. Once a polluted tidal flat, it has been turned into a thriving "sea forest" ecosystem through ecological protection efforts, benefiting both humans and wildlife. The wetland acts as a natural barrier against typhoons and storm surges, protecting local communities. It also offers a green public space for recreation and eco-tourism, improving people's quality of life while supporting the local economy. Step 1 How does it respect nature? What are the benefits to nature? The project respects nature by using only native mangrove species and keeping most areas undisturbed as wildlife reserves. Human activities are limited to wooden boardwalks, so visitors can enjoy the wetland without harming its habitats. The restored wetland now provides a safe home for over 148 bird species, including rare black-faced spoonbills, as well as fish and crabs. Mangroves also filter pollutants, improve water quality, and stabilize the shoreline to protect the coastal ecosystem. Step 2 Create your presentation.

Sample Xiamen's wetland parks Hi everyone! Today, I'll share an example of humans living in harmony with nature—Xiamen's wetland parks. Xiamen is a nice coastal city in Fujian, China. It has good weather and is called a "garden city". Xiamen built wetland parks to protect local wetland homes. These parks have natural wetlands, man-made lakes, and green areas. First, the city made strict rules to stop too much building in wetlands. Then, we planted local plants to bring back natural greenery (绿植物). In this way, we give local animals a good place to live. Sample For nature, these parks protect Xiamen's biodiversity (生物多样性). Many birds, fish, and insects live here. They help keep nature balanced. For us, the parks are great for relaxing. They let us get close to nature, enjoy nice views, and breathe fresh air. Thanks to the parks, people also learn why wetlands matter and how to protect the environment. I think we can learn from this. By respecting nature and making more such nice spaces, we can enjoy nature and protect it too. In the future, more cities should do like Xiamen. This way, humans and nature both get a better home. Step 3 Practise and show your presentation to the class.
