In September 2020, a position paper Building a Shared Future for All Life on Earth: China in Action was released, elaborating the country's experience, progress, position and propositions on biodiversity conservation.

　　Economic development must not come at the price of the ecology, because clean waters and green mountains are just as valuable as gold and silver.

　　Over the past years, China has committed to strengthening biodiversity protection and building a shared future for all life on earth, taking actions in improving the legal and policy frameworks, as well as funding support.

　　The country has released and revised a host of laws and regulations pertinent to biodiversity conservation, including those on environmental protection, wild animal protection, seeds, livestock, fishery, forestry, grasslands, the marine environment, protection of nature reserves and wild plants.

　　In 2018, ecological civilization was enshrined in the Chinese constitution and embedded in the master blueprint of national development.

　　China has achieved inspiring and remarkable outcomes in fighting climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, while persistently promoting global sustainable development and building a community for all life on earth, according to Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

　　British zoologist Alice Hughes, who has worked in China for about eight years, said the country's efforts in biodiversity is "unparalleled". She told Nature magazine in 2021 that western media coverage of environmental issues in China often focused on the nation's urban air pollution and its role as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter. "But China has a vision for protecting nature, and it has made progress," he said.

　　As the position paper said, China will join hands with the international community to build a shared future for all life on Earth, and chart the course for global ecological civilization.
