内容概要

WWF hopes that the publication of this report will draw more attention to the numerous pressing environmental problems facing the Yangtze Source Region today, and it is also hoped that this report will spur further action towards developing and implementing effective climate change adaptation and wetland conservation strategies for the Yangtze Source Region. Only through the development of such climate adaptation and conservation strategies for the Yangtze headwaters will it be possible to achieve truly sustainable socioeconomic development of the entire Yangtze River basin.
