Yangtze River Basin

The Yangtze River Basin is the area surrounding the Yangtze River, China's longest river, which stretches about 6,300 kilometers. This region includes diverse landscapes such as mountains, plains, and cities, and supports millions of people through agriculture, industry, and transportation. It plays a vital role in China's economy, providing water for drinking, farming, and power generation. The basin also hosts rich biodiversity and important ecosystems. However, it faces challenges like pollution, flooding, and habitat loss, making sustainable management essential for protecting both people and the environment.
