What is the ecological red line?
Ecological red line refers to an area that needs special protection in order to maintain national or regional ecological security and sustainable development, according to the protection needs of ecosystem integrity and connectivity. It is mainly divided into three major areas: important ecological function areas, sensitive areas of land and marine ecological environment, and fragile areas.

The first is to protect the red line of important ecological functional areas. Refers to water conservation areas, such as soil and water conservation, wind and sand fixation, flood storage, etc. Urban development needs safe and healthy water sources, which is the safety line of economic, social and ecological protection and the bottom line of national ecological security, and can fundamentally solve the contradiction between resource development and ecological protection in the process of economic development.

The second is the protection red line in ecologically fragile or sensitive areas. That is, the main ecological barrier red line can provide ecological barriers for cities and urban agglomerations. The establishment of this red line can reduce the impact and risk of the outside world on urban ecology. Shaoguan, Guangdong Province is an important ecological barrier in the Pearl River Delta.

The third is the red line of biodiversity reserve. This is the red line of biodiversity protection in China, which provides the smallest living area for protected species. The red line is the bottom line. If it is redeveloped, it will endanger the safety of the population, which is very urgent.

The Significance of Delineating the Red Line of Ecological Protection

Delineating the red line of ecological protection is the need to safeguard national ecological security. Only by delineating the red line of ecological protection, optimizing the pattern of land spatial development, rationalizing the relationship between protection and development, and improving and improving the service function of the ecosystem, can we build an ecological security pattern with complete structure and stable function and safeguard the national ecological security.

Delineating the red line of ecological protection is a key measure to continuously improve environmental quality. At present, China's environmental pollution is serious, and regional compound air pollution characterized by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is increasingly prominent.

Delineate and strictly observe the red line of ecological protection, organically link environmental pollution control, environmental quality improvement and environmental risk prevention, ensure that environmental quality is not degraded and gradually improved, reverse the deterioration trend of ecological environment from the source, and build a beautiful home with sky blue, green land and clean water.

Delineating the red line of ecological protection is helpful to enhance the ability of sustainable economic and social development. Delineating the red line of ecological protection, guiding the population distribution and economic layout to adapt to the carrying capacity of resources and environment, and promoting the intensive and economical utilization of various resources are of great significance for enhancing the ecological support capacity of China's sustainable economic and social development.
