Resources and conditions for implementing the framework in Qinghai at presentThe Peculiar Geographic Location and the Highland Ecosystems Qinghai has advantages to investigate, to evaluate, and to manage the Natural Capital prior to western provinces and districts. Nearl

28、y half of Qinghai Province is enclosed in Sanjuangyuan Natural Protection Zone. The vulnerable ecosystems in the highland are not suitable for large-scale industrial development. Tibetans are not welcome any dramatic changes of lifestyles. Therefore, searching for ecosystem services trading between

29、the highland and other regions becomes the most reasonable choice for Qinghai, especial the southern Qinghai.Research ResourcesQinghai University, supported by Chinese Ministry of Education, has equipped with basic education and research facilities, and has achieved a workable level in the investiga

Chinese Governments SupportsA China, opening to the world more and more, secures basic condition for international collaborations. The Great Western Development Strategy and the desire of Chinese people for hav

Chinese Government and Chinese scientists have engaged in Millennium Assessment project. Their experience is helpful for implementing the framework in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Internat

33、ional Collaboration NetworkThe international exchanges of Qinghai University are active in recent years An international network with environmental experts who are willing to contribute to the development and conservation of the highland is established. This network, correspondent to the calling fro

34、m the Embassy of China in Tokyo and the auspices of Chinese Education Ministry, is working functionally as a node for assisting Qinghai with resources abroad. Keio Universitys COE ProjectKeio University, one of the most famous university in Japan has started the project under the auspices of the Japanese Governments 21 Century Center of Excellence (COE) Program, Policy Innovation Initiative: Human Security Research in Japan and Asia since 2003, in which the collaboration of China and Japan on environment policy is a key issue in the coming five years.
