Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government is actively promoting river protection and soil conservation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, achieving significant improvements in soil erosion management and water conservation efforts [1][3]. Group 1: Soil Erosion Management - A total of over 340,000 square kilometers of new soil erosion management areas have been established, resulting in a net reduction of approximately 116,000 square kilometers of soil erosion [1]. - The soil conservation rate has reached over 73% [1]. Group 2: Key Regional Efforts - Focused efforts in key areas, such as the middle and upper reaches of major rivers, have led to the management of 67,000 square kilometers of soil erosion, with soil erosion intensity reduced by 15 to 20 percentage points [3]. - Nearly 7,000 sediment retention dams have been newly constructed or renovated in the Loess Plateau region, effectively reducing sediment entering the Yellow River [3]. - Comprehensive management of sloped farmland has been conducted over 4 million acres, and 38,000 erosion gullies have been treated in the Northeast black soil region [3]. - In the Danjiangkou Reservoir area and its upstream, ecological clean small watersheds have been built to ensure sustainable water supply [3].
