OUTLOOK IN 2018
BORN IN SANJIANGYUAN
NATIONAL PARK CREATION

One of the innovations of the Chinese government's ecological civilization system is particularly eye-catching - the establishment of a national park system in China. The first national park of the new system was established in 2015. Sanjiangyuan (“Three-River-Source”) National Park is China's first national park pilot area approved by the central government (December 2015) and the largest national park pilot area in China. It is intended to demonstrate and showcase the protection and restoration of plateau, grassland and wetland ecosystems and establish a pioneering zone in harmony between man and nature. It is a real beginning in the discovery of new systems for the establishment of ecological civilization and is thus of great significance to the strengthening of the national ecological security barrier.

GAC Motor and the WWF work together for Sanjiangyuan National Park Administration in terms of ecological protection and institutional innovation. This is not only a positive response in support of national policies but also a social responsibility that Chinese companies should undertake and fulfill. It is hoped that more companies and individuals will participate in environmental protection through this action.
