Hey there! Did you know that over the past 20 years, China has built 903 national wetland parks? That’s a lot of parks! These special places help protect nature and provide homes for many animals and plants. 🌳🐦
Wetlands are like nature’s superheroes. They are areas where water covers the soil, like swamps and marshes. Wetlands are important because they help clean the water, prevent floods, and are home to many animals. 🦆🐢
By creating these wetland parks, China has protected 2.4 million hectares of wetlands. That’s a huge area, about the size of 3.3 million soccer fields! Imagine all the animals that can live there safely. ⚽🏞️
There are now 82 wetlands in China that are so important, they’re recognized worldwide. This means people around the world know how special they are! 🌏✨
China is also working hard to fix and restore wetlands that were damaged. So far, they’ve helped bring back 300,000 hectares of wetlands. That’s like bringing nature back to life! 🌱🌈
But China isn’t working alone. They’ve started the International Mangrove Center to help protect mangroves, which are special trees that grow in salty water and are super important for the environment. 🐠🌳
Next, China plans to keep protecting wetlands, especially in important areas like the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. They also want to work with other countries to make sure wetlands all over the world are cared for. 🤝🌐
Isn’t it cool how countries can help protect nature? Maybe someday, you can visit a wetland park and see all the amazing plants and animals that live there! 🛶🦋
