Protect the Mother River Day March 9th every year is the Day to Protect the Mother River.

The "Protect the Mother River" action is the theme of the Communist Youth League organizing youth to protect the "Mother River" that nurtures the Chinese nation and people - the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and other major rivers. In the "Mother River" basin, small watersheds are used as units.

It is important to vigorously control soil erosion, protect the ecological environment, advocate and establish awareness of green civilization and sustainable development, promote the construction of national ecological projects, and contribute to the Mother River better benefiting the Chinese nation and achieving global ecological balance.

Work.

The main contents of the action to protect the mother river are: (1) Construction of the "Protect the Mother River Project".

Adopt engineering afforestation and project management methods.

The unified name of the project is "Protecting the Mother River Project ** Project". It is strictly scientifically designed and the project is determined through application and approval. Each region can determine its local key projects.

Under the leadership of the "Protect the Mother River Action" leadership groups at all levels, all projects are organized and implemented according to the project, and management is strengthened.

At the same time, we will actively explore other implementation methods such as funding poor farmers to carry out small watershed management.
