BEIJING Chinese lawmakers on Wednesday started deliberating a draft law on wetlands protection, the country s first national legislation on conserving its lakes and swamps.
The draft was submitted to an ongoing session of the Standing Committee of the National People s Congress, China s top legislature, for the first reading.
In strengthening the management of wetlands, the draft stipulates that a national catalog of important wetlands shall be compiled by forestry and grassland authorities and other related departments of the State Council, while provincial-level governments shall compile catalogs of important wetlands within their jurisdiction.
