摘要
DUBBED the“roof of the world,”the“third pole,”and the“water tower of Asia,”the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is of prominent ecological significance.It helps adjust the climate in Asia and the entire Northern Hemisphere.Upholding the principle of green development in Tibet Autonomous Region,the Chinese government has rolled out a series of measures to safeguard the ecology of Tibet.They include the Plan for the Ecological Safety Barrier Protection and Improvement in Tibet(2008-2030),the afforestation project along the Yarlung Zangbo River,Nujiang River,Lhasa River,Nianchu River,Yalong River,and Shiquan River,and the strategy and action plan for preserving biodiversity in Tibet Autonomous Region.With stringent measures and effective systems in place,Tibet sees a well-preserved ecosystem shoring up endeavors to improve people’s livelihood and sustain economic and social progress.
