China's national park system is seeing significant progress, improving ecosystem diversity and sustainability. This initiative, spearheaded by General Secretary Xi Jinping, aims to protect over 1.1 million square kilometers and promote harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
Progress is evident in the first five national parks, which integrate numerous reserves. The Giant Panda National Park connects panda habitats, while the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park has seen population increases. The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is also seeing the growth of the Hainan gibbon population.
China is also improving local communities' well-being through ecological relocation and volunteer programs. Nearly 50,000 residents work as ecological guardians.
The World Wide Fund for Nature lauded China's ambitious and transformative commitment. The national park system supports China's environmental leadership and global environmental goals, including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
China's parks offer conservation learning opportunities. They aim to show how conservation and sustainable development can be pursued together.
New Zealand's ambassador commended China's leadership in biodiversity efforts, including expanding national parks. National parks are key to achieving global biodiversity goals.

This initiative is a shining example of how countries can take action towards environmental preservation, and inspire others to do the same.
