As a unique geographical unit formed after the completion of the Three Gorges Project
the Three Gorges Reservoir Region is a key node in the protection of the Yangtze River Basin and a major area in the construction of ecological barriers in the western region
which has a very important strategic position. In recent years
through strict water resources management
shoreline cleaning and treatment
strengthening water pollution prevention and control
and implementing treatment and restoration of hydro-fluctuation belts
the ecological environment of the reservoir region has improved significantly. At present
the Three Gorges Reservoir Region still faces some prominent problems in ecological and environmental protection. It is necessary to further improve the management system and mechanism
balance the relationship between resource protection and development and utilization in the reservoir region
and provide a strong guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir and the full play of its comprehensive benefits
and promote the high-quality economic and social development of the reservoir region as well as the upstream and downstream areas.
