Libo County

Libo County, Guizhou Province. Rice fields and forest plantations integrated in the landscape provide food and timber resources while regulating water provision to an ancient agricultural irrigation system. In the background: Karst mountain formations typical of the landscape in Guizhou and Guangxi provinces in Southwest China. Due to their steepness and inaccessibility, karsts are natural repositories of native biodiversity.
