The environment in the lower reaches of the Yellow River has improved due to better long-term management practices.

The Yellow River, China's second largest river, has suffered serious environmental degradation and wet land shrinkage in its lower reaches due to a huge decrease in its water level.

The efforts have so far improved over 200 square kilometers of marsh land and contributed to a spurt in the birth rate of some species on the verge of extinction.

The Chinese government has used administrative, legal and economic methods to protect and improve the river's condition.
