25% of land earmarked for protection
Print Edition
AT least 25 percent of China鈥檚 land has been marked for ecological protection as the country steps up efforts to protect its environment, authorities said yesterday.
The designated protection areas covers major ecological functional zones, regions that are ecologically sensitive and vulnerable, as well as key regions for biodiversity, Ministry of Ecology and Environment official Cui Shuhong told reporters.
China鈥檚 central authorities in 2017 issued guidelines for an ecological 鈥渞ed line鈥 strategy that would enforce strict protection over certain zones.
Cui said the task of identifying the zones had been basically completed as the country is strategically resolved to develop an ecological strategy.
By the end of 2019, China had 11,800 nature reserves of various types, accounting for 18 percent of the country鈥檚 land area and meeting the Aichi Biodiversity Targets goal of protecting 17 percent of terrestrial areas ahead of schedule, according to Cui.
