全国生态保护红线划定年内完成 15省份方案获批 - 2018年03月07日

China has approved plans by 15 provinces and regions to draw up ecological “red lines” that will put large swaths of its territory off-limits to economic development, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said yesterday.
The State Council, or China’s cabinet, has authorized the “red line” plans from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Ningxia, and 11 regions along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, according to Cheng Lifeng, head of the ministry’s Department of Nature and Ecology Conservation.
The zones demarcated by the “red lines” have a combined area of 610,000 square kilometers, or about a quarter of the total land area in the 15 provincial regions, said Cheng.
