Shanghai's Chongming Island marks 10 years of ecological construction with significant achievements: wetland protection rate exceeds 60%, bird species increase to over 300, and successful artificial breeding of Chinese sturgeon.
Shanghai's Chongming Island has transformed into an ecological model over the past decade, boasting increased forest coverage, a surge in migratory bird populations, and significant improvements in the Yangtze River's ecosystem. This success story is recognized globally as a benchmark for ecological governance.
