China has among some of the most abundant plant life in the world.  There are more than 32,000 species of higher plants, and almost all the major plants that grown in the northern hemisphere's frigid, temperate and tropical zones are represented in China. In addition, there are more than 7,000 species of woody plants, including 2,800 tree species.  The metasequoia, Chinese cypress, cathaya tree, China fir, golden larch, Taiwan fir, Fujian cypress, dove-tree, eucommia and camplotheca acuminata are found only in China. The metasequoia, a tall species of arbor, is considered as one of the oldest and rarest plants in the world.

In a concerted effort to protect the nation's zoological and botanical resources, and save species close to extinction, China has established 932 nature reserves to protect forests and wildlife, with a total area of 79.71 million ha. The 12 nature reserves in China, namely, Sichuan's Wolong, Jilin's Changbai Mountains, Guangdong's Dinghu Mountains, Guizhou's Fanjing Mountains, Fujian's Wuyi Mountains, Hubei's Shennongjia, Inner Mongolia's Xilingol, Xinjiang's Mr. Bogda, Yunnan's Xishuangbanna, Juangsu's Yancheng, Zhejiang's Tianmu Mountains and Guizhou's Maolan, have joined the "International People and Biosphere Protection Network."  Heilongjiang's Zhalong, Jilin's Xianghai, Hunan's Dongting Lake, Jiangxi's Poyang Lake, Qinghai's Bird Island and Hainan's Dongzhai Harbor have been included in the listing of the world's important waterfowl wetlands.
