XIAMEN, China, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from China Today: Ports and bay areas contribute approximately 60 percent of global economic activity, according to World Bank data. While their rich marine and environmental resources drive growth, these regions also face the challenge of balancing economic development with ecological preservation.

中國廈門,2024年12月4日 /美通社/ -- 根據世界銀行的數據,港口和海灣地區貢獻了全球經濟活動的約60%。雖然豐富的海洋和環境資源推動了這些地區的增長,但它們也面臨着在經濟發展與生態保護之間取得平衡的挑戰。

China's southeastern coastal city of Xiamen has become a model for achieving such a balance through sustainable development practices. Over the past 30 years, Xiamen's comprehensive ecological restoration efforts have fostered harmony between humanity and nature, establishing the "Xiamen model" for high-quality development and improved living standards.

中國東南沿海城市廈門已成爲通過可持續發展實踐實現這種平衡的典範。在過去30年中,廈門的全面生態修復努力促進了人與自然的和諧,建立了高質量發展和改善生活標準的"廈門模式"。

The city's achievements were highlighted at the "China in Dialogue with the World: Storytelling Salon in Xiamen" event. Held from November 25 to 27, the event welcomed foreign journalists and experts from over 10 countries, including the US, the UK, France, Japan, and Egypt. Participants visited iconic sites such as Yundang Lake, the Gaoqi sewage treatment plant, Gulangyu Island, Xiatanwei Mangrove Park, and Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park. These visits were accompanied by discussions with local experts about the city's ecological conservation strategies.

在"中國與世界對話:廈門講故事沙龍"活動上,該市的成就得到了突出展示。此次活動於11月25日至27日舉行,吸引了來自美國、英國、法國、日本和埃及等10多個國家的外國記者和專家。與會者參觀了雲塘湖、高崎污水處理廠、鼓浪嶼、霞灘維溼地公園和五緣灣溼地公園等標誌性景點。這些參觀活動還伴隨着與地方專家關於該市生態保護策略的討論。

Zhou Lumin, a member of Xiamen's marine expert group, noted that while Xiamen benefits from diverse marine resources, it is also characterized by its small size and fragile ecosystems. Like many bay cities worldwide, Xiamen faces environmental challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. To tackle these issues, Xiamen has implemented a range of integrated coastal management measures to enhance marine ecological restoration. These initiatives include the construction of urban green roofs, mangrove wetland restoration, and the protection of rare marine species such as the Chinese white dolphin.

廈門海洋專家組成員周路民指出,雖然廈門受益於多樣的海洋資源,但它的面積小、生態系統脆弱。像世界許多海灣城市一樣,廈門也面臨着氣候變化、生物多樣性損失和污染等環境挑戰。爲了解決這些問題,廈門實施了一系列綜合海岸管理措施,以增強海洋生態修復。這些舉措包括城市綠色屋頂的施工、紅樹林溼地的修復,以及保護中國白海豚等稀有海洋物種。

David Ferguson, an international communications expert, expressed admiration for Xiamen's mangrove wetland restoration efforts during the visit. He emphasized that mangroves are under threat in many coastal regions across Asia, Central America, and Africa, and highlighted Xiamen's success as a valuable model for other countries and regions facing similar challenges.

國際通信專家大衛·費格森在訪問期間對廈門的紅樹林溼地修復工作表示讚賞。他強調,在亞洲、中美洲和非洲的許多沿海地區,紅樹林正面臨威脅,並指出廈門的成功是其他國家和地區應對類似挑戰的寶貴典範。

Xiamen has also prioritized international cooperation in ecological conservation. The city has hosted the annual World Ocean Week for 19 consecutive years, alongside various international exchange activities. In 2013, Xiamen University established the Marine Monitoring and Information Service Center, a platform for scientific and technological innovation. This initiative brings together experts from diverse disciplines to drive advancements in sustainable coastal development.

廈門還將國際合作生態保護作爲優先任務。該市已連續舉辦19屆世界海洋周,並開展各種國際交流活動。2013年,廈門大學建立了海洋監測與信息服務中心,這是一個科學和技術創新的平台。該倡議匯聚了來自不同領域的專家,以推動可持續海岸發展。
