This year doubles as a milestone for China's environmental vision: 20 years since the birth of the 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets' philosophy, and a decade since the launch of its national park system overhaul. At a Thursday press conference, Sun Hongyan of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration announced the system has entered a phase of full-scale coordination – think Avengers-level teamwork for nature! 🦸♂️🌏
As World Ranger Day approaches on July 31, spotlight shines on the 20,000+ ecological protection rangers patrolling China's wild spaces. These modern-day explorers monitor endangered species like snow leopards 🐆 and protect biodiversity hotspots – basically nature's VIP security detail.
'Our rangers are frontline warriors in preserving ecological security,' Sun stated, revealing plans for enhanced training and smart monitoring tech. The move comes as China expands its national park network, now covering 230,000 sq km – that's larger than the UK! 🇬🇧➡️🌳
