地球日×法律日:“藍色星球”的法治之光
每年的4月22日,是世界地球日和世界法律日。這一天,人們聚焦于環境保護和自然資源可持續利用的同時,也更加審視法律在環境保護中的作用。
Earth Day and World Law Day are celebrated every year on April 22. On this day, while focusing on environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources, people also examine the role of law in environmental protection.
今年,中國的世界地球日活動主題是“珍愛地球,人與自然和諧共生”,自然資源部在其主場活動上宣介了重點區域自然資源確權登記工作及“山水工程”“廈門實踐”“美麗中國 規劃先行”等工作情況。
This year, China marks Earth Day by holding a seriesof activities to highlight cherishing the Earthand promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. At the major event, the Ministry of Natural Resources introduced natural resources title confirmation and registration in key areas and promoted Shan-Shui initiative, Xiamen's environmental protection practices and advancing space planning work to build a Beautiful China.
在中國生態文明建設和自然資源保護的進程中,法律一直是重要依據。
In the process of China's ecological development and natural resource protection, law has always been an important basis.
廈門市的筼筜湖曾是天然避風港,與海相通,但是生活污水和工業廢水長年累月直排入湖,讓筼筜湖生態堪憂。1988年,廈門市啟動筼筜湖綜合治理,創造性地提出“依法治湖、截污處理、清淤築岸、搞活水體、美化環境”20字治理方針。其中,依法治湖作為首要原則被貫穿始終——1989年11月,《筼筜湖管理辦法》;1992年9月,《廈門市筼筜湖管理辦法》;2020年2月,《廈門經濟特區筼筜湖區保護辦法》。
Yundang Lake in Xiamen City in southeast China's Fujian Province used to be a natural haven connected with the sea. However, sewage and industrial wastewater had been discharged into the lake for years, causing serious ecological problems. In 1988, Xiamen launched a set of comprehensivemeasures to clean up Yundang Lake, putting forward an innovative guideline featuring protecting the lake according to law, intercepting sewage, dredging and building banks, invigorating water bodies, and greening the environment. Among them, governing the lake according to law is the primary and underlying principle—— Yundang Lake management measures, November 1989; Xiamen Yundang Lake management measures, September 1992; measures for the protection of Yundang Lake District, Xiamen Special Economic Zone, February 2020.
如今的筼筜湖,與海重新聯通,由內湖向外湖流動,形成北進南出的大迴圈。種植的9個品種、約2.6萬平方米紅樹植被,也吸引了鳥類和海洋生物前來棲息繁衍,讓筼筜湖成為了廈門的“城市會客廳”。
Today's Yundang Lake, re-connected with the sea, flows from the inner lake to the outer lake, forming a large circulation from the north to the south. The 26,000 square meters of nine speciesof mangrove vegetation planted here have also attracted birds and marine life to live and reproduce, making Yundang Lake aplace to showcase the city's charm in Xiamen.
今天,中國自然資源保護法規體系建設日趨完善。如環境保護法、土地管理法、森林法、海洋環境保護法、野生動物保護法等法規,共同構成了中國自然資源保護的法律框架,為自然資源的合理利用和有效保護提供了法律依據和制度保障。
Today, China's legal system for the protection of natural resources keeps improving. Such laws and regulations as the country's environmental protection law, land management law, forest law, marine environmental protection law and wildlife protection law constitute the legal framework for the protection of China's natural resources, providing a legal basis and institutional guarantee for their rational use and effective protection.
法治之光猶如第一縷陽光,照耀著生態文明建設征程,引領人與自然和諧共生。
The radiation of the rule of law, like the first ray of sunshine, lightens up the journey of China's ecological progress and leads the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
