The standards to protect China's national parks have been drafted and illegal projects have been gradually eliminated to protect natural reserves, Zhang Jianlong, head of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and the National Park Administration said on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions on Tuesday.
To strengthen the management for each park, a specific plan and regulation will be made. And the national park system contributed to poverty relief. In the current 10 pilot national parks, 50,000 rangers were hired, each with a salary of about 1,800 yuan ($268), according to Zhang.
