Topics range from territorial space optimization to systemic conservation strategies – perfect for policy wonks and climate advocates alike! 📚
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about trees and lakes. The book underscores China’s push to revamp natural resource ownership systems, aiming to create a \"win-win\" model where economic progress and environmental health coexist. For global observers, it’s a roadmap to understanding Beijing’s next green moves.
