Core Viewpoint - The transformation of the industrial area in the Revitalization District of Handan City, Hebei Province, from a heavily polluted industrial zone to a thriving ecological environment demonstrates the successful integration of industrial and ecological civilization, contributing to biodiversity protection and sustainable utilization [1][2][6].

Group 2: Biodiversity Enhancement - The ecological quality of the Revitalization District has significantly improved, with the number of good air quality days increasing from less than 90 in 2016 to 268 in 2024 [6]. - The district has implemented biodiversity protection measures, including the establishment of the first habitat garden in Hebei Province, providing suitable habitats for various species [7]. - The restoration of the Qinhai River has led to a stable water quality reaching Class III standards since 2020, with ecological water replenishment of approximately 3 million cubic meters annually [8]. Group 3: Community and Economic Development - The East Gaohe Village has transformed from an ecologically degraded area to a "green pearl," with a forest coverage rate of 85% and attracting over 50,000 tourists annually [15][16]. - The district is developing ecological tourism and agriculture, leveraging its natural resources to enhance local income and promote biodiversity protection [16][17]. - The overall forest coverage in the Revitalization District has increased from 21% in 2016 to 52.1% currently, with 489 species of higher plants and vertebrates recorded [17].
