NGO and private company invited to help with protection of Sanjiangyuan area's wilderness

China's first national park has invited an NGO and company to take part in the pilot protection process, a new move to promote their protection work.

Sanjiangyuan National Park in Qinghai province, home to the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, has signed cooperation deals with the World Wildlife Fund and Guangzhou Automobile Group to explore new ways to protect the environment.

The two will help with such activities as research on the park, resources surveys, and environmental monitoring and training, which would help educate people about protecting wild areas.
