City cleans mangroves
|
THE city will launch a clean-up effort in the Mangrove Natural Reserve on Friday, as part of the campaign initiated by the local environmental protection bureau to eliminate practices that harm the environment.
The reserve, dubbed "lungs of the city", is the only State-level natural protection area in Shenzhen. However, the health of the nine-kilometre-long "green corridor" is being threatened by illegal construction and pig slaughtering.
Officials say a lack of environmental awareness and the lure of a quick profit lead some people to undertake such harmful activities.(Alfred Zhang)
