Cui Shuhong responded that the establishment of nature reserves is the most effective measure to protect biodiversity.
The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the environmental protection of nature reserves, report the ecological damage in the Qilian Mountain National Nature Reserve in Gansu and the illegal construction of villas at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and resolutely investigate and punish violations of ecological violations.
According to reports, in 2020, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, together with relevant departments and units, carried out the strengthening of the supervision of the "Green Shield 2020" nature reserve. A total of 8 batches of 136 persons were dispatched to provide assistance to 196 nature reserves in 29 provinces (regions, cities) across the country. On-site verification was carried out on the rectification and improvement of 4398 "Green Shield" ledger ledgers in the protected areas; joint inspections were carried out on 79 nature reserves in 17 provinces, and the problems were reported to the local authorities to effectively promote rectification.

Cui Shuhong pointed out that the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will be a critical period for my country's nature reserves to transform from speed and scale to quality and efficiency. It is a window period for resolving the historical problems of nature reserves and improving the effectiveness of nature reserves protection. The opportunity period is also a critical period for the development of nature reserves.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment will focus on the following four aspects:
First, continue to carry out the "Green Shield" to strengthen supervision, continue to deepen the working mechanism, increase the supervision of national nature reserves, national parks and national scenic spots and other natural parks, and strictly investigate and deal with various violations of laws and regulations.

The third is to actively promote the process of legislation related to nature reserves and improve the ecological environment supervision system, standards and technical specifications of nature reserves.
The fourth is to promote the construction of the national ecological environment monitoring network for nature reserves, upgrade the ecological environment supervision system of nature reserves, carry out effectiveness evaluation, timely warning of ecological risks, and regularly release reports on the ecological environment of nature reserves.
