April 27 - China has completed work on a nationwide ecological protection "red line" aimed at preserving its ecosystems and reversing some of the damage from rapid urbanisation and industrial growth, a government official said on Thursday.
The lines have now been fully decided, with roughly 3 million square kilometres of land - about 30% of China's total - as well as 150,000 sq km of marine areas, all of which is under state surveillance, Wang Zhibin, head of the nature protection office at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment , told a briefing in Beijing.
Recent policy guidelines have also said that some human activity - including commercial forestry and mineral resource exploitation - would still be allowed inside the red lines.
