The Chinese mainland is stepping up its green game by launching a nationwide initiative to tag and protect ancient and notable trees. 🌳✨ This effort aims to reinforce these majestic trees as \"green national treasures\" and \"living cultural relics.\"
Zhang Liming, director of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration's ecological protection and restoration department, shared in the Science and Technology Daily that the new regulations will take effect on March 15. These are the first national-level rules specifically designed to safeguard these natural and cultural icons.
According to Zhang, the initiative aligns with the Chinese mainland's broader goals of building an \"ecological civilization\" and preserving cultural identity. By protecting these ancient trees, the Chinese mainland not only conserves biodiversity but also maintains a living link to its rich cultural heritage.
This initiative is a significant step towards sustainable environmental practices, ensuring that future generations can continue to admire and learn from these natural treasures. 🌿
