People in the UK are being urged to keep rare plants in their living rooms or gardens to help create a “national collection”, which can save pollinator-friendly (利于传粉者的) plants from 1 (extinct).
A national plant collection can include a number of well-tended plants, many of 2 are suitable for domestic gardens. Though some collections 3 (house) at locations such as Kew Gardens, many are kept in the back gardens of amateur enthusiasts.
Plant Heritage, a charity that works to create and develop the collections, 4 (run) a “missing genera” campaign since 2016, where it lists plants that are not a collection and are 5 risk of dying out. This year the plants are all pollinator-friendly.
Since the campaign began, 12 national collections have been set up. There are 700 collections in total, 6 (find) all over the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. These “living libraries” contain 7 estimated 95,000 garden plants.
According to a business manager at Plant Heritage, people don’t 8 (necessary) need lots of space in order to help. All that is needed is a passion for plants and eagerness 9 (learn) about the plant group in the chosen collection. Though the plants are mostly not native, it is still important to protect them, particularly because, as the climate changes, a diversity of plants is needed for pollinators 10 to store carbon. Some plants may even help for medical purposes and people never know quite what they might be good for.

Over the past 30 years, a quiet war against nature has been launched in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to turn swaths of desert into 11 vast forest.
Leading this 12 (ecology) campaign is the city of Aksu, located on the edge of China’s largest desert, the Taklamakan, 13 name is translated to “the place of no return”. As one of the biggest shifting sand dunes (沙丘) in the world, its size is slightly smaller than 14 of Germany.
“You couldn’t open your eyes when the dark wind 15 (sweep) across the land,” said 48-year-old Gan Yongjun. “The dark wind can be seen gathering from several kilometers away, the darkness 16 (block) everything in view”, he explained.
For the past 30 years, Gan has been engaged in the Kekeya green project — one of the campaigns launched by local governments in 1986 to relieve the trouble caused by long-term dust storms. Engineers, geographers and other 17 (special) were called to survey the land and figure out water sources. They were also tasked 18 seeking ways to turn sand into soil fertile enough for plants 19 (take) roots.
To date, with over 13 million trees 20 (plant) in Aksu, agriculture has contributed a lot to the local economy. Now, people throughout China associate Aksu with its sweet and crunchy apples while other produce such as dates have also become popular in the supermarkets.

At the Temple of Heaven, a famous park on Beijing’s Central Axis, birdwatchers walk away from crowded tourist spots, using binoculars (双筒望远镜) to look for birds, 21 live among old buildings and trees.
An 22 (experience) guide named Li Qiang helps groups spot colorful birds like woodpeckers (啄木鸟). Birdwatching here started in 2002 when scientist Gao Wu 23 (create) a special path to study birds. By 2023, people had found 238 types of birds in the park. The mix of tall trees and fallen woods provides food and shelter, 24 (make) it a perfect home for birds.
Birdwatching used to be a hobby for older people, 25 now it’s popular with young Chinese. In 2023, over 340,000 people enjoyed birdwatching — twice as many as five years 26 (early). Social media apps like Xiaohongshu have thousands of posts about birdwatching equipment and photos. “It’s not just about taking pictures,” says 26-year-old Wang Cui. “It’s about learning birds’ names, understanding their 27 (behave), and feeling closer to nature.”
This birdwatching matches China’s efforts 28 (protect) nature, like creating national parks and planting more forests. As young people explore parks with binoculars, it shows how cities are becoming greener — and how people care more about living in peacefully 29 nature.
“I hope everyone learns to respect birds and watch them 30 (responsible),” says Chen Jiaqi, a young birdwatcher. “That’s how humans and nature can truly live together.”

In the field of wildlife protection, we are faced with numerous challenges. The situation of wild animals today is worse than 31 in the past. Many conservationists insist that the illegal hunting activities harming endangered species 32 （ban）.
Up to now, scientists and environmentalists 33 （seek） solutions to the decline of wildlife populations. And meanwhile conservationists are 34 （desperate） working to save these precious creatures. There are various strategies, many of 35 have been successfully employed in various nature reserves. For example, motion-activated cameras are installed to monitor animal activities, 36 endangered species are reintroduced into their original habitats.
The analysis of the current conservation efforts reveals that more work is needed. 37 some progress made, there is still a long way to go. The 38 （withdraw） of support for illegal wildlife trade is crucial. With joint efforts, we can hope to maintain the balance of nature, 39 （enhance）ecosystem stability and ensuring 40 environmentally-friendly future for both wildlife and humans.

Every year for over a millennium fishermen have braved the subzero temperatures, biting winds and deep snow to search for 41 underwater fortune at Chagan Lake — one of the biggest freshwater lakes in our country.
Chagan is the only place in China 42 you can still find fishermen using a Mongolian fishing method that dates back centuries and has 43 (bare) changed over time. Holes are drilled in the ice 44 (lower) a 2-kilometer-long net into position underwater. Once it fills up with fish, the net is hauled out of the water using a giant wheel turned by Mongolian horses. The largest fish in the 45 (season) first catch is believed to be lucky, and will go to the highest bidder at the auction (拍卖).
To ensure that this tradition can continue 46 damaging the lake’s ecology, fishermen keep nature in mind throughout the process. 47 (avoid) the use of modern vehicles helps reduce the chance of polluting the lake water, and the number of fish that can be caught is capped to ensure that there will be fish for years to come.
Also, over the past few years, the money from the auction has been invested into protecting the lake and 48 (surround) environment. And during the summer private fishing without 49 (permit) us strictly prohibited. These preservative measures 50 (keep) the tradition alive for thousands of years and certainly will be passed on to future generations.

The Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park spans an area of over 14,000 square kilometres in the provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang. It is one of 61 (China) first five national parks announced in 2021.
62 (lie) in the temperate forest area of Northeast China, the national park is home 63 the only breeding population of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards in the country. Since it opened, conservation groups including WWF-China have begun planting over 30,000 trees like oak and pine to create an even more 64 (suit) living space, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of these two rare species.
The park uses a smart system 65 (equip) with satellites, drones, and cameras to watch over the tigers and leopards. From November 2021 to June 2022, researchers collected 13,910 images and videos of their activity. Images of four individual tigers (one male and three females) 66 (identify) across 45% of the total sites monitored. The four were familiar faces to researchers and had been photographed before, indicating the 67 (stable) of the site as a habitat for the species.
Through a series of conservation measures, the population of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards has increased. In 2010 there were no more than 20 wild Amur tigers in China, most of 68 had crossed the border from Russia. Thanks to joint efforts from global communities, 69 number has grown to about 70. Now, the park is working 70 (close) with the Russian side to ensure that the tigers and leopards have large, continuous, and expansive habitats for their living and reproduction.

China launched a nationwide initiative to tag (标记) and protect ancient trees as green national treasures. The move came 71 effect on March 15, 2025. According to the regulations, ancient trees are those 72 are over 100 years old. Ancient trees, which hold historical or cultural 73 (important), play a crucial role in biodiversity and ecological sustainability.
A national survey 74 (conduct) from 2015 to 2021 identified 5.08 million ancient trees in China, 246,600 of which are in urban areas. The survey results showed that 75 majority of China’s ancient trees are aged between 100 and 299 years, 76 (total) 987,500. There are 160,300 trees aged between 300 and 499 years and 68,200 trees are over 500 years old, which include 10,745 trees over 1,000 years and, five trees over 5,000 years.
Regarding the trees’conditions, 157,700 77 (consider) weak, 26,300 are endangered and 78 (slight) over one million trees are normal, according to the survey.
The nation’s regulations permit limited 79 (science) and cultural use of these resources, such as genetic (基因的) studies and eco-tourism, provided the trees’ health is not affected.
Authorities will conduct more national surveys 80 (update) tree databases, carry out a smart management system for “one-tree-one-file” monitoring, and take uniform tagging and tailored protective measures.

China has made substantial efforts to preserve biological diversity. Over the last six decades, a restrictive protected area system with both national parks and nature reserves 81 (establish), accounting for about 18 percent of China’s total land area. Sanjiangyuan National Park is 82 great example of how ecological protection and economic development can go hand in hand through innovative methods, 83 (gain) worldwide recognition and reputation. The thriving ecosystem in Sanjiangyuan National Park nurtures countless living things. It is also proof of 84 ancient thinkers called “leading by nature’s rules”. In this region, the locals have long practiced the art of 85 (coexist) where nature’s preservation and economic development walk hand in hand.
Moreover, China is also a global leader in afforestation (造林). Satellite data shows more than a quarter of the 86 (new) added green space in the world is in China, which makes it the largest contributor 87 the greening of the global landscape.
Just as President Xi states, “lucid waters and lush mountains are as valuable as gold and silver.” Guided by this 88 (influence) principle, China will continue to offer sustainable development 89 (initiative) and combine ancient ecological wisdom with modern science in its distinctive approach 90 (embrace) a shared future for all life on Earth.

Covering just 6 percent of the Earth’s land surface, wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems. They support 40 percent of all species, including 91 (variety) plants, fish and migratory birds, while providing critical services 92 water purification (净化), flood control, and carbon storage.
China’s mangrove (红树林) protection efforts have been 93 (particular) noteworthy. Over the past five years, the country has planted more than 8,800 hectares of mangroves and protected 94 additional 8,200 hectares, making it one of the few nations globally 95 (achieve) a net increase in mangrove coverage.
Another critical aspect of China’s wetland protection is the control of Spartina alterniflora (互花米草), 96 destroys coastal ecosystems. “In areas 97 (pack) with Spartina alterniflora, water flow slows, native plants disappear, 98 some creatures die off, reducing habitats for birds,” he said.
Over the past two decades, 903 national wetland parks 99 (establish), protecting 2.4million hectares of wetlands. About 90 percent of these parks are free to the public currently.
As China goes on to implement (实施) its Wetland Protection Law, the focus is moving to “wetland culture-tourism” and cross-border 100 (cooperate), the administration added.
