Chinese people have determined that an ecologically friendly civilization is necessary to build a high-quality life and enjoy further development since the Yangtze River Economic Belt accounts for half of the Chinese population and economic output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chongqing was named one of \u201cthe most polluted cities on the planet\u201d by BBC years ago. It is part of the headwater\u2019s ecological barrier of the Yangtze River, meaning\u00a0the environmental restoration outweighs everything. Take Guangyang Island for an example. Before 2016, a real estate project involving over 3 million square meters of land was once planned for it, threatening the natural landscape with devastation. The project was decisively stopped by Chongqing Municipal Government in 2017 and replaced with a transformative scenic project named \u201cCore of the Yangtze beauty, land of the Chongqing ecology.\u201d Guangyang Island has more than 500 plants and over 90% vegetation coverage. Records indicate the island is home to 191 bird species and the winter destination of many other migrant birds. That is a typical case of ecological restoration in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
