FfFfFfFF 58,070 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 By uniting hundreds of protected areas managed by various municipalities and provinces, the new system’s goal is to streamline and strengthen conservation under the central authority of the new National Forestry and Grassland Administration. Already, these test parks—which should be officially approved by the end of 2020—cover an area two-thirds the size of the U.S. national park system. The largest, Sanjiangyuan National Park in Qinghai Province, is about the size of Mississippi. Although China has experienced an economic slowdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the country will likely stick to its goal of completing the parks by year’s end, says Rose Niu, who has been working to create national parks in China since 1997. With such an ambitious plan, there are bound to be hurdles—and among the most formidable are working with local people and balancing the need for tourism with wildlife conservation. “A core mission of China’s national parks is to promote eco-civilization—a mission that can be advanced by involving visitors,” says Brody, a National Geographic Explorer and founder of Panda Mountain, an ecotourism and conservation organization.

ShtoopidLahv 710 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 One of the upsides to ecological authoritarianism. China is taking great measures but I wish they would commit to decreasing their reliance on burning coal for electrical energy. That’s the more important step. But they’re still doing much better than the new fascist regimes of the US, Brazil, and India Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
