Yangtze River Protection Law

The Yangtze River Protection Law is a Chinese law aimed at safeguarding the health and sustainability of the Yangtze River, one of the country’s longest and most vital water bodies. It establishes rules to prevent pollution, promote ecological conservation, and regulate the use of water resources along the river. The law emphasizes coordinated management across regions, integrates environmental protection with economic development, and assigns responsibilities to government agencies and local authorities to ensure the river’s long-term ecological health, ultimately supporting sustainable development and ecological security for the regions dependent on the river.
