The country has increased the area of wetlands to 56.35 million hectares, put in place a protection system and enacted a Wetlands Conservation Law, according to Xi.<\/p>\n<p>Since it acceded to the Ramsar Convention in 1992, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> has established and improved its legal framework for wetland protection as well as systems for protection management, project planning, and investigation and monitoring. It has also fulfilled its obligations under the convention and continued to expand international cooperation in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>The central government has spent <span class=\"xn-money\">19.8 billion yuan<\/span> (about <span class=\"xn-money\">$2.73 billion<\/span>) on over 4,100 projects to advance wetland protection and restoration across the country since 2003.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> now has 64 wetlands of international importance and 29 wetlands of national importance, as well as 901 national wetland parks.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> released a plan for wetland protection for the 2022-2030 period, aiming to increase its wetland protection rate to 55 percent by 2025, while increasing the number of wetlands of international importance and national importance by 20 and 50, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese president also introduced <span class=\"xn-location\">China&#8217;s<\/span> further plan of incorporating 11 million hectares of its wetlands into the country&#8217;s national park system, adding a national wetlands conservation plan and major conservation projects will be implemented.<\/p>\n<p><b>Path to global ecological conservation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Chinese president Saturday urged efforts to build global consensus on prizing wetlands, advance the global process of wetlands conservation and enhance people&#8217;s well-being globally by leveraging the role of wetlands.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> will build an international mangrove center in <span class=\"xn-location\">Shenzhen<\/span> and supports the convening of a conference of the World Coastal Forum, Xi announced.<\/p>\n<p>According to <span class=\"xn-location\">China&#8217;s<\/span> white paper on biodiversity conservation, the country has provided support for more than 80 developing countries in biodiversity conservation under the framework of South-South cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> has also made ecological cooperation a key part of Belt and Road cooperation. In 2021, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> launched &#8220;the Belt and Road&#8221; Green Development Partnership Initiative with 31 partner countries, calling for international cooperation to achieve a green and sustainable economic recovery and promote low-carbon, resilient and inclusive economic growth post-epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> has taken an active part in international conferences and activities, including the United Nations Summit on Biodiversity and the Leaders&#8217; Summit on Climate, giving impetus to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>These cases are a microcosm of <span class=\"xn-location\">China&#8217;s<\/span> concrete steps to promote global ecological cooperation, with the notion of building a shared future for all life on Earth as the underpinning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2022-11-05\/Xi-addresses-COP14-on-wetlands-conservation-1eIkUeITohW\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2022-11-05\/Xi-addresses-COP14-on-wetlands-conservation-1eIkUeITohW\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEIJING, Nov. 6, 2022 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; More than a billion people across the world depend on wetlands for their livelihoods \u2013 that&#8217;s about one in eight people on Earth.
