In a major push to safeguard natural heritage, the Agricultural Development Bank of China announced it has issued loans amounting to approximately 2.7 trillion yuan (about $376.7 billion) since 2021 for conserving the Yangtze and Yellow rivers.
Specifically, about 2.09 trillion yuan is dedicated to protecting the majestic Yangtze River, while 605.2 billion yuan supports preservation efforts along the historic Yellow River. These funds are driving key initiatives in water security, transport infrastructure, rural revitalization, and food security across the Chinese mainland.
This bold investment isn't just about numbers—it’s a forward-thinking strategy that intertwines economic progress with environmental stewardship. For young professionals, students, and adventurers alike, this move underscores how innovative finance can fuel sustainable change. 🌊🚀
