Major Projects to Protect and Restore Key Ecosystems

Protecting and restoring ecosystems is a significant contributor to China's eco-civilization and ecological security.

The report to the CPC's 19th National Congress held in October 2017 announced the decision to carry out major projects to protect and restore key ecosystems. In June 2020, a Master Plan for the Major Projects for the Protection and Restoration of National Key Ecosystems (2021-2035) was unveiled. It was a comprehensive plan that covered all natural ecosystems such as mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands and seas.

This 15-year plan was designed to build a strong ecological security shield, form a virtuous circle of ecosystems for sustainable utilization, and coordinate efforts to conserve all the above ecosystems. It set out general requirements and major goals for the year 2035, and primary tasks and relevant policies and measures for the key projects, thus providing a basic framework for nationwide endeavors to protect and restore key ecosystems.

By 2035, China will have made substantial progress in ecological protection and restoration. The natural ecosystems of forests, grasslands, deserts, rivers, lakes, wetlands and seas will all see fundamental qualitative improvements, and the supply of quality eco-goods will satisfy the public's basic needs. There will be significant progress in achieving harmony between humanity and nature.

重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)保護和修復(fù)重大工程

加強生態(tài)保護和修復(fù)對于推進生態(tài)文明建設(shè)、保障國家生態(tài)安全具有重要意義。2017年10月，中共十九大報告提出實施重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)保護和修復(fù)重大工程。2020年6月，《全國重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)保護和修復(fù)重大工程總體規(guī)劃（2021—2035年）》公開發(fā)布（以下簡稱《總體規(guī)劃》）。這是中共十九大后生態(tài)保護和修復(fù)領(lǐng)域第一個綜合性規(guī)劃，囊括了山、水、林、田、湖、草以及海洋等全部自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的保護和修復(fù)工作。

《總體規(guī)劃》以全面提升國家生態(tài)安全屏障質(zhì)量、促進生態(tài)系統(tǒng)良性循環(huán)和永續(xù)利用為總體目標，以統(tǒng)籌山水林田湖草一體化保護和修復(fù)為主線，明確了到2035年全國生態(tài)保護和修復(fù)工作的總體要求和主要目標，提出了各項重大工程的重點任務(wù)和政策措施，形成了推進全國重要生態(tài)系統(tǒng)保護和修復(fù)重大工程的基本框架。

按照《總體規(guī)劃》要求，到2035年，中國將全面加強生態(tài)保護和修復(fù)工作，全國森林、草原、荒漠、河湖、濕地、海洋等自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)狀況實現(xiàn)根本好轉(zhuǎn)，生態(tài)系統(tǒng)質(zhì)量明顯改善，優(yōu)質(zhì)生態(tài)產(chǎn)品供給能力基本滿足人民群眾需求，人與自然和諧共生的美麗畫卷基本繪就。
