Ecological Significance of gold and silver lake National Urban Wetland Park

In the process of urban construction, the relationship between man and nature has changed from "respect and compliance" to "control and conquest", and then to today's "harmonious place". People have begun to realize the value of natural gifts such as rivers, lakes, flowers and trees, and try to integrate nature with life on the premise of protection and utilization. However, people know little about wetlands, and many residents living in cities know nothing about the concept and function of wetlands. They don't know that this is the foundation of human existence. According to experts in environmental science, wetland has a powerful ecological purification function and is called "kidney of the earth". Wetlands in cities can not only purify the deteriorating water quality in the process of urban industrialization, but also adjust the microclimate and reduce the urban heat island effect, thus truly improving the urban environment.

The wetland landscape of gold and silver lake Park, which was selected as the third batch of "National Urban Wetland Parks", is only a typical representative of the wetland environment in this area. In fact, the whole gold and silver lake area is like a big wetland park, with a large number of lakes and wetlands, well-preserved natural ecology and various rare animals and plants. The unique ecological environment is nature's best care for gold and silver lake. Being in this unpolluted natural "big park", the vast gold and silver lake of1.2000 mu, the free-swimming birds and fish, and the wanton growth of green plants all exude the charm of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the desire of interdependence and harmonious coexistence between man and nature is fully reflected. After three consecutive national urban wetland parks, few provincial capital city parks were selected, and Wuhan gold and silver lake Park is the only provincial capital city park in this selection list.
