2% of land to be used to protect wildlife, pristine areas

Sanjiangyuan National Park will protect the source areas of three major rivers, the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang, and wildlife including Tibetan antelopes. Area: 123,000 square kilometers, mainly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.[Photo/VCG]

According to the plan, China will formally set up a group of national parks and establish the new agency for natural asset management by 2020.

The new system will be scheduled to be improved to become more efficient by 2030.

Such national parks are expected to perform a larger role in ecological protection. They will comprise areas protected by the nature reserve system in China, according to the report delivered by Xi at the opening session of the congress on Wednesday.
