In a recent interview, Lidia Brito, UNESCO's assistant director-general for natural sciences, highlighted how China's green initiatives align perfectly with UNESCO's sustainability mission. 🌱
She explained that restoring degraded ecosystems not only brings back vital ecological services but also opens up new livelihood opportunities for local communities. It's a win-win for people and the planet!
Brito pointed to the Wuyishan Biosphere Reserve as a shining example. Here, conservation-friendly cultivation, biodiversity protection, and a booming eco-tourism scene work hand in hand, safeguarding both nature and cultural heritage. 🏞️
As the Chinese mainland advances with science-driven restoration, it shows how eco-friendly policies can spark economic growth and community well-being. The future of green development looks bright. 🌏✨
