藥(yao)湖國(guo)家濕地(di)公(gong)園,是國(guo)家批(pi)準(zhun)項目。藥(yao)湖濕地(di)地(di)處江西省南北(bei)交(jiao)通要道(dao),江西“天”字形高速公(gong)路(lu)主干(gan)道(dao)的中心點,距離省會(hui)南昌60 公(gong)里,距昌北(bei)機場70公(gong)里,具有十分優越(yue)的開展(zhan)濕地(di)宣教和生態旅游的基(ji)礎與(yu)條件(jian)。該濕地(di)是鄱陽湖流域泛(fan)洪平原濕地(di)的典型代表,生物多樣(yang)性較為豐(feng)富。
藥湖(hu)(hu)國家濕(shi)地公園由豐城(cheng)市藥湖(hu)(hu)的核心區域(yu)所構成,總面積2560公頃(qing)。建立藥湖(hu)(hu)國家濕(shi)地公園對(dui)搶救性(xing)保(bao)護和恢(hui)(hui)(hui)復長江(jiang)中下游(you)淺水湖(hu)(hu)濕(shi)地,恢(hui)(hui)(hui)復藥湖(hu)(hu)濕(shi)地生(sheng)態功能、減少(shao)區域(yu)洪澇災害,保(bao)護和恢(hui)(hui)(hui)復長江(jiang)中下游(you)濕(shi)地生(sheng)物多(duo)樣性(xing)具(ju)有重要(yao)意義。
該(gai)濕(shi)地(di)是(shi)鄱(po)陽(yang)湖(hu)流域泛洪平原濕(shi)地(di)的典型代表,生物多(duo)樣(yang)性較為豐富。然而,人為活動影響了藥湖(hu)與錦江正(zheng)常(chang)的水文聯系(xi),導致了藥湖(hu)濕(shi)地(di)生態(tai)系(xi)統被破壞,生態(tai)功能下降,生物多(duo)樣(yang)性豐富程度降低(di)。因(yin)此(ci),對(dui)藥湖(hu)濕(shi)地(di)進行搶救性保護(hu)和恢復迫在(zai)眉睫。建設藥湖(hu)國家濕(shi)地(di)公園(yuan)是(shi)對(dui)濱(bin)湖(hu)濕(shi)地(di)進行搶救性保護(hu)和合理利(li)用的重(zhong)要舉措。
