May 22 is the International Biodiversity Day. This year's theme is "Biodiversity, you and I participate together". In recent years, China has upgraded biodiversity conservation to a national strategy, continued to improve the biodiversity governance system, and effectively increased biodiversity conservation. New achievements have been made in biodiversity conservation.

Policies and regulations on biodiversity conservation have been gradually improved. From the compilation of ecological environment code, form the legal system of ecological environment; To print and distribute the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Beautiful China, and make clear arrangements for strengthening biodiversity conservation; Then came the Opinions on Further Strengthening Biodiversity Protection, which put forward the overall goal and nine key tasks of biodiversity protection in the new era... China has constantly improved the top-level design and formulated a series of laws and regulations to protect biodiversity.

Zhang Yujun, Director of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecological Environment, said that we should adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment and biodiversity, and build a legal system that combines comprehensive law, regional law and element law. The issuance of the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Protection of Biodiversity led to the transformation and development of national biodiversity governance.

Biodiversity protection space has been comprehensively enhanced. The first batch of five national parks, including the Three Rivers Source and the giant panda, were set up, 52 integrated conservation and restoration projects of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand were implemented, and the "Three North" project was launched...

Data shows that the red line area of land ecological protection in China accounts for more than 30% of land area, effectively protecting 90% of land ecosystem types and 74% of national key protected wildlife populations.

Beijing, Hebei and other places carried out a background survey of biodiversity across the country, Yunnan, Hainan and other places printed and distributed the provincial "Guiding Opinions on Biodiversity", Shandong and Zhejiang updated the provincial biodiversity conservation strategy and action plan, providing a practical template for national biodiversity conservation... All regions continued to strengthen biodiversity survey, monitoring and evaluation, Organize and carry out ecosystem resource survey, species resource survey and various resource surveys, and constantly improve the regulatory capacity of biodiversity protection.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said that through strengthening the supervision of the central ecological environment protection, strengthening the supervision of the "Green Shield" nature reserve for seven consecutive years, organizing and carrying out a series of law enforcement actions such as "China's Fishery Administration Sword", "Kunlun" and "Qingfeng", and resolutely stopping and punishing biodiversity related crimes.
