新疆塔克拉瑪干大沙漠將建成國家溼地公園

A state-level wetland park was established in Taklamakan, China's largest desert, in the northwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

在新疆烏魯木齊自治區的西北部，也就是中國最大的沙漠，塔克拉瑪干，將會建設一個國家級別的溼地公園

The park, located on the western edge of the Taklamakan, has been approved by the State Forestry Administration. It covers an area of around 5,818 hectares and consists of various types of wetlands, including rivers and marshes, said a spokesperson with the forestry bureau in Bachu County of Xinjiang.

新疆巴楚縣的林業局相關負責人稱：這個公園位於塔克拉瑪干的西部，已經被國家林業局批准，覆蓋面積將達到5818公頃，並且由包括河流和沼澤在內的各種各樣的溼地組成，

The park is close to the Yarkant River. The wetland resources formed by marshes, lakes and reservoirs on the banks of the river play an important role in affecting local climate.

這個公園臨近葉爾羌河，溼地資源包括沼澤，河流。河流岸上的蓄水池將會對氣候產生重要的影響

However, river water volume has been reduced and wetland areas have shrunk as a result of increased human activities and unregulated use of water since the 1980s, the spokesperson said.

與此同時，發言人也表示：在1980年後，由於人類活動的增加和不規則的用水，導致河流的水容量逐年減少，溼地的範圍也在持續縮減

Xinjiang has a wetland area of around four million hectares, ranking fifth among provincial-level regions in China. Preserving and restoring the wetlands have become a priority for the local government.

新疆約有400萬公頃的溼地區域，居我國各省溼地範圍佔有量的第五名。溼地的保留和恢復已經成爲當地政府的首要工作
