Jilin strengthens ecological protection

Northeast China's Jilin province has strengthened protection efforts and witnessed improvements in the environment in recent years, which nourished more protected animals in the wild and also attracted more tourists, said Bayinchaolu, the provincial Party chief.

Efforts to improve the environment have been stepped up, especially after the top leadership highlighted the importance of improving the environment.

President Xi Jinping spoke to the Jilin delegation at the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, in March 2015, highlighting that its excellent environment gives Jilin an advantage to fuel green growth.
