歷史沿革
1939年前屬長(chang)汀縣(xian)飛地貼長(chang)鄉，梅花(hua)山(shan)自然保護區(qu)地理(li)位置得(de)天獨厚，野生動植物資(zi)源極為豐(feng)富。
為了保護梅(mei)花山珍貴森林生態(tai)系統和(he)奇特(te)的自然景觀。
1985年5月(yue)，福建省人民政府(fu)批(pi)準建立閩(min)西梅花山自然保護(hu)區。
1988年9月(yue)經(jing)國務院批(pi)準，梅花山(shan)自然保(bao)護區升列為國家級森(sen)林和(he)野(ye)生動物(wu)類型自然保(bao)護區。
1992年2月，在原林業部和世(shi)界自然(ran)基金(jin)會(hui)聯合(he)召開(kai)的“中(zhong)國(guo)自然(ran)保(bao)護(hu)(hu)優先(xian)領域研(yan)討(tao)會(hui)”上，保(bao)護(hu)(hu)區以“現存華(hua)南虎數量最(zui)多、活動最(zui)頻繁(fan)的區域”被確定為“對(dui)全球有影響(xiang)、具有國(guo)際(ji)意義的”世(shi)界A級自然(ran)保(bao)護(hu)(hu)區。
1992年(nian)11月，在中(zhong)(zhong)國生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)物多(duo)樣(yang)性保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)行(xing)動計劃第(di)二次研討會上，保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)區以(yi)“物種豐富、特有種多(duo)，在東亞植物區系中(zhong)(zhong)為華中(zhong)(zhong)、華南、華東區系交(jiao)匯處”，列入(ru)《中(zhong)(zhong)華人民(min)共和國生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)物多(duo)樣(yang)性保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)行(xing)動計劃》“中(zhong)(zhong)國優先(xian)保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)系統(tong)名錄”和“森林生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)系統(tong)的優先(xian)保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)區”；1993年(nian)加入(ru)中(zhong)(zhong)國人與(yu)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)物圈保(bao)(bao)護(hu)(hu)(hu)區網絡。
1998年，根據國(guo)家(jia)林(lin)業局(ju)的《關(guan)于進一步加(jia)強國(guo)家(jia)級自然(ran)保(bao)護區(qu)管(guan)(guan)理的通(tong)知》精(jing)神，龍巖(yan)市(shi)委(wei)機構編制(zhi)委(wei)員會批準，福(fu)建梅花山國(guo)家(jia)級自然(ran)保(bao)護區(qu)管(guan)(guan)理處更名為“福(fu)建梅花山國(guo)家(jia)級自然(ran)保(bao)護區(qu)管(guan)(guan)理局(ju)”。

保護價值
