“…Especially in the past few years, with the express growth of the local nation and the increasing population, coupled with the fact that the highland lakes are closed semi-closed lakes, small catchment areas, evaporation, and water resources are very short, the lake storage capacity is poor, and the lake itself there is a huge stock of pollution, so the highland lakes in the basin are still facing many objective factors such as pollution sources, each lake around the lake interception (Berger et al (2021)). The conservation and governance of Yunnan's nine highland lakes are risky.…”

Nine highland lakes in Yunnan Province—Dian Lake, Erhai Lake, Fuxian Lake, Qilu Lake, Yilong Lake, Xingyun Lake, Yangzonghai Lake, Chenghai Lake, and Lugu Lake—were the principal objects of this study. To investigate the microplastic pollution patterns in highland lakes and to identify the most effective microplastic monitoring techniques, the distribution characteristics, abundance, and species of microplastics in the water bodies and sediments of nine highland lakes were scientifically sampled and analyzed in this study. To better understand the relationship between the level of economic development, the intensity of human activity and the level of governmental attention to environmental protection, the strength of the general public's environmental awareness, and the level of microplastic pollution in the Yunnan region, this study also looked into the areas surrounding nine highland lakes. To analyze and study the relationship between the distribution characteristics of microplastics in water bodies and sediments in the nine lakes and external natural conditions, additional external factors, such as geographic location and climatic conditions of the study area of the nine highland lakes, were collected and collated.
