Wetland Protection Program to Begin

A long-term wetland protection programmed using international funds to guard biological diversity and regulate use of China's wetlands has been kicked off this week.

Under the programmed, a record US$34.57 million will be poured into the protection of wetlands in China's five provinces during the 2000-04 period. Over 33 per cent will be given from the United Nations Development Programmed (UNDP) and about US$2.6 million is pledged from the Australian Government, according to the State Forestry Administration.
