White paper: China's biodiversity conservation has achieved remarkable results

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 8. The White Paper "China's Biodiversity Conservation" published by the State Council Information Office on the 8th introduced that China insists on protecting and developing in development, and proposed and implemented the national park system construction and ecological protection red line. Set important measures, continue to strengthen in-situ and ex-situ protection, strengthen biosafety management, continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment, and coordinate the promotion of biodiversity conservation and green development. The conservation of biodiversity has achieved remarkable results.

  The white paper introduced the effectiveness of China's biodiversity conservation in five aspects: optimizing the in-situ protection system, improving the ex-situ protection system, strengthening biosafety management, improving the quality of the ecological environment, and promoting green development in coordination.

  ——China has continuously promoted the construction of nature reserves, initiated national park system trials, built a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body, and took the lead in proposing and implementing an ecological protection red line system internationally, clarifying priority areas for biodiversity protection, and protecting It has created important natural ecosystems and biological resources, and played an active role in maintaining the habitats of important species.

  ——China continues to increase ex-situ conservation efforts, systematically implement endangered species rescue projects, the level of collection and preservation of biological genetic resources has been significantly improved, and the ex-situ conservation system has become more and more perfect, becoming an effective supplement to in-situ conservation, and a variety of endangered wild animals and plants have been obtained Protection and restoration.

  ——China attaches great importance to biosafety, incorporates biosafety into the national safety system, promulgates and implements the biosafety law, and systematically plans the construction of a national biosafety risk prevention and control and governance system.

Alien species invasion prevention and control mechanisms have gradually improved, biotechnology has developed healthily, biological genetic resources protection and supervision have been continuously enhanced, and national biosafety management capabilities have continued to improve.

  —— China has implemented a series of ecological protection and restoration projects, continuously increased ecological restoration efforts, and coordinated the promotion of integrated protection and system governance of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes, grass, sand and ice. The trend of ecological deterioration has been basically curbed, the natural ecosystem is generally stable and improved, and service functions are gradually improving. Strengthen; Resolutely win the battle of pollution prevention and control, greatly alleviate the pressure on biodiversity protection, continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment, and basically build a national ecological security barrier.

  ——In the process of economic and social development, China emphasizes on the basis of natural carrying capacity, accelerates the transformation of economic development mode, advocates green and low-carbon life, and promotes high-level biodiversity conservation and high-quality development in concert.
