Our country will further promote the protection of plant diversity

, Beijing, Nov. 12 (Reporters Lin Hongmei and Hu Wei) Reporters learned from the China WildLife Conservation Association on the 12th, "China Plant Protection Strategy (2021-2030)" has been released. To promote the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of plant diversity, the strategy sets 18 targets for in-place conservation of at least 85 per cent of known endangered plant species.
2008, under the framework of the Global Plant Protection Strategy, China issued the China Plant Protection Strategy (2010-2020), which sets out a plan for the implementation of the 16 goals of plant protection in China, said the head of the China Wild Plant Protection Association. According to the latest review, China has achieved 75 per cent of its main strategic targets ahead of schedule by 2020 and is working to achieve the remaining targets by 2020.
said China has made important progress in plant diversity conservation in recent years. In order to ensure the sustainability and effective implementation of the strategy, and to address climate change, policies on biodiversity conservation need to be adapted to address the current state of plant diversity, threat factors and utilization, and new national strategies for plant conservation need to be developed.
According to the China Plant Protection Strategy (2021-2030), China's plant protection objectives also include relocation of at least 80 per cent of rare and endangered plants, 20 per cent of rare and endangered plants available for ecological restoration and restoration projects, and the establishment of a country covering all known species. Plant information systems, promoting the continuous improvement and continuous updating of the wild plant protection directory, developing effective management plans to prevent new biological invasiveness and managing important areas of invasive plant diversity, eliminating threats to wild plant species from international trade, and establishing or strengthening institutions, partnerships and networking for plant protection at the national, regional and international levels.
In the next decade, China will strive to implement the 18 objectives set out in the strategy, strengthen communication and cooperation among experts and policy makers in the fields of science, agriculture, environmental protection, forestry and education in the areas of biodiversity conservation, vigorously improve plant diversity protection policies, strengthen investment in integrated conservation systems, scientific and technological research and funding, restore and rebuild degraded ecosystems, control environmental pollution and invasive alien plants, curb the loss of biodiversity, actively carry out international exchanges and cooperation, and contribute to the achievement of the Global Biodiversity Vision 2050 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
