Hey eco-warriors! 🌍 Guess what? China just announced a massive plan to heal the planet, aiming to restore at least 30% of its degraded terrestrial, inland-water, coastal, and marine ecosystems by 2030! That's a huge leap toward a greener future. 🌳🌊
The country's going all in on nature reserves, especially national parks, which will make up about 18% of China's land area by 2030. Talk about dedication! 🏞️
They're also drawing \"red lines\" 🚩—special ecological conservation zones covering at least 150,000 square kilometers of China's marine territory. It's like giving Mother Nature a big hug! 🤗
The plan outlines actions across the board: laws, public awareness, community involvement, monitoring, and evaluation. It's a team effort to make sure these goals become reality. 💪
Did you know China is home to over 10% of all the world's terrestrial vertebrate species and over 36,000 species of higher plants? That's some serious biodiversity! 🐾🌿
In recent years, China has been stepping up its game in protecting wildlife habitats, and this new plan is like hitting the turbo boost on their conservation journey! 🚀
