up wetland conservation and restoration efforts.
It has implemented the medium- and long-term wetland protection
plan (2019-2035), and rolled out wetland protection measures, a

well as an implementation plan for the enforcement of the national
wetland protection law, securing law-based protection endeavors

Wetland parks have established relevant management mechanisms.
For example, Alejin Island national wetland park has introduced
wetland protection management system, wildlife protection and
rescue system, water quality monitoring and management system and
so on. The national level wetland park covers an area of 419
hectares, of which 71.1 percent are wetlands.
Through years of efforts, Harbin has restored more than 3,000 hectares
of wetlands, and reverted cultivated land into 685 hectares of
wetlands.
Harbin's achievements in
wetland protection have earned good returns. Approximately one
million tourist visits are made to Harbin each year, creating a total income
hitting tens of billions of yuan for the city.
