China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment has embarked on a significant new initiative aimed at safeguarding the nation's rich natural heritage. On Wednesday, the ministry announced a comprehensive seven-year biodiversity conservation program, which encompasses seven major tasks and 28 projects. This ambitious plan includes conducting extensive surveys in key ecological areas, prioritizing species preservation, and investigating vital biological genetic resources to enhance conservation efforts.
The announcement was made during a special event commemorating the International Day for Biological Diversity held in Wuzhishan City, located in south China's Hainan Province. With this initiative, China aims to bolster its commitment to environmental sustainability and address the pressing challenges posed by biodiversity loss.
This strategic framework not only seeks to protect China's diverse ecosystems but also underscores the importance of biodiversity in driving innovation, supporting economic growth, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
