Wetlands are areas with water like lakes, rivers, and coasts. They help protect animals and plants, stop floods, and clean dirty water. They also help farmers grow rice and fish, and are important homes for birds that fly long distances (距离). Sadly, wetlands are in danger worldwide.
World Wetlands Day came from the Convention on Wetlands (湿地公约) signed in Iran. China joined the convention on July 31, 1992. By the end of 2019, China had 57 wetland nature reserves listed as important wetlands for protection under the convention, covering a total of nearly 7 million hectares. ▲, as China has wetlands with 65.9 million hectares—10% of the world’s wetland areas, which comes fourth in the world. Some of Asia’s most important wetlands, such as Poyang Lake and Asia’s longest river, the Yangtze River are in China.
However, a WWF research showed China’s wetlands were seriously damaged by pollution, climate change and human activities like farming and building. So our government has been taking action to return farmland to wetland and closing some fish farms.
It was reported that the 57 key Chinese wetlands increased by 2 479 hectares from 2020 to 2023. “The area of wetlands in China has become larger, growing by 202 600 hectares and making a great contribution (贡献) to water quality and environmental protection. Birds like the Siberian crane are returning to wetlands like Poyang Lake. Water in protected wetlands is now 40% cleaner than 10 years ago. China has been creating national wetland parks. Between 2016 and 2020, China created 201 national wetland parks and in 2022 alone, 58 new wetland parks were created. By 2025, China has had 3 700 wetland protection areas, including 903 national wetland parks,” said an official from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
China is still working to make stronger laws to protect wetlands. Some projects on wetland protection will be carried out in some areas, such as Yangtze River.
