Hainan, China's tropical paradise 🏝️, just unveiled an ambitious plan to revive its natural landscapes. The province pledges to restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030, marking a major leap in biodiversity conservation. This is China’s first provincial-level strategy following a national blueprint released last month.
🌊 Coastal protection is a key focus: Hainan aims to preserve over 63% of its natural coastline, safeguarding beaches and mangroves critical for marine life. The plan also includes a province-wide biodiversity survey and a high-tech monitoring network to track progress.
By 2030, 30% of Hainan’s land, freshwater, and marine ecosystems will be under enhanced protection, creating safer habitats for endangered species like the Hainan gibbon. 💡 Experts say this could set a global benchmark for balancing tourism and ecology in tropical regions.
