关于草海国家级自然保护区总体规划审核意见的复函
贵州省环境保护局:
经审查，我局原则同意《贵州草海国家级自然保护区总体规划》（以下简称《总体规划》）。现函复如下：
一、同意《总体规划》提出的规划原则和规划目标。草海保护区是濒危珍禽黑颈鹤及其它候鸟重要的越冬地，具有典型的高原湿地生态系统。必须采取有效措施，切实加强保护区的建设和管理，充分发挥国家级自然保护区的示范功能。
二、《总体规划》确定的保护区总面积为9600公顷,与1992年批准为国家级保护区时的1.2万公顷相差较大。变更面积必须履行相应的报批手续。同意《总体规划》将保护区划分为核心区、缓冲区和生产实验区3个功能区，各功能区的具体面积应在保护区总面积确定后重新划定。
三、同意《总体规划》提出的资源保护和管理规划。重点要加强保护管理网络的建设，通过扶贫等手段，引导当地生产方式向有利于湿地生态保护和珍稀动物生存的方式转变。草海保护区已有社区参与性管理的基础和经验，应进一步总结和完善，把保护区建设成为社区共管的典范。
四、原则同意《总体规划》提出的资源可持续开发利用规划。要严格控制自然水域水产养殖规模，放养外来鱼种及围网养殖项目必须进行科学论证，避免水体富营养化和对草海生态系统造成破坏。
五、原则同意《总体规划》提出的基础设施建设规划。基础设施建设要与当地景观相协调，并与保护区的其他规划项目相结合，道路、生态造林等项目应纳入地方建设规划中，避免重复建设和浪费。
请你局按上述审核意见，对《总体规划》做进一步修改完善后，报请贵州省人民政府审批。
特此函复。
