Chapter I. General provisions

Article 1 In order to strengthen the management of the geosite in Keketuohai UNESCO Global Geopark, and to ensure its effective protection and rational use, these Measures are formulated in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, such as the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the Mineral Resources Law of the People's Republic of China, the Regulations on the Nature Reserves of the People's Republic of China, the Wetland Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China, the Provisions on the Administration of Protecting Geological Monuments (Decree No. 21 of the former Ministry of Geology and Mining), the Regulations on the Protection of Paleontological Fossils, the Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Protection of Paleontological Fossils, and the Regulations on the Geological Environmental Protection in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Regulations on the Protection of Paleontological Fossils, Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations on the Protection of Paleontological Fossils, Regulations on the Protection of the Geological Environment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and other relevant laws and regulations, and formulate the present measures in the light of the reality.

Article 3 Geosite, as referred to in these Measures, refers to the precious and non-renewable geological and natural heritage that has been formed, developed and left behind as a result of various internal and external dynamics of geological action during the long geological historical period of the earth's evolution.

Article 4 The scope of Keketuohai UNESCO Global Geopark referred to in this method: bounded in the north by the natural boundary of the Karadurgen River-Buyetsay-Kuste River-South Slope of Kunchalharn-3234 Peak, in the east by the county administrative boundary of Fuyun and Qinghe counties, in the south by the natural boundary of the west bank of Karashengeer-Ergelatay River-Ergelatay-The Second Plant-Lhokaiyilok, and in the west by the natural boundary of the Kayileke-Maizengsayi-Sayihengbulake- Alasan-Karadurgen River natural boundary as the boundary, formed by 268 boundary points of inflection circle, including the Irtysh Grand Canyon, Sayihengbulake, Kalaxiangeer, Kekesuli, No.3 mines, covering an area of 2,337.90 square kilometres.

Article 5 The protected geosite is a valuable asset of the state, and no unit or individual shall destroy, excavate, buy, sell or otherwise transfer the geosite and mobile geomorphological landscape geosite.
Article 6 The protection of geosites is part of environmental protection, and the principle of "active protection and rational development" should be implemented to maintain their originality, naturalness, integrity and authenticity.

Chapter II. Contents of protection of geosite

The following geosite in the Geopark shall be protected in accordance with law:

（i）Variscan period and the Yanshanian period granite landforms composed of altaic granite landforms with significant scientific research value and ornamental value, is an important part of China's granite landforms, for the continental cold temperature and arid climate zone of the granite landforms typical representative of the land and the standard comparative study site;

（ii）Keketuohai area pegmatite-type rare metal deposits found as many as 86 kinds of minerals, No. 3 Mine magnificent and unique deposit form and its complete pegmatite geochemical evolution and rich rare metal mineralisation, etc. has a significant scientific research value and ornamental value, is the basis of modern mineral crystallography and granite pegmatite deposits the theory of the emergence of the Chinese and foreign scientists for the study of granitic pegmatites and rare metal mines of the classical The area;

（iii）Kalaxiangeer area is preserved with seismic fissures, seismic collapse zones, seismic fracture grooves, seismic steep cans, seismic brow ridges, fracture plug ponds, drums, active fractures and other seismic relics formed by the Fuyun magnitude 8 earthquake, seismic fault zones are of the nature of the right-handed strike-slip, the special dynamic characteristics and the mechanism of seismicity have significant scientific research value and ornamental value, and it is the best seismic fracture zones relics on-site museums at home and abroad, and a classic place for the study of active seismic fault zones in the country. It is the best museum of earthquake fault zones at home and abroad, and a classic place for the study of active earthquake fault zones in China;
