Legal Issues and Countermeasures of Wetland Protection around Chaohu Lake——From the Perspective of Responsive Law

The development, utilization and protection of wetlands around Chaohu Lake in accordance with the law is a sign of the construction of ecological civilization under the rule of law around Chaohu Lake and a guarantee for the stable natural ecosystem and sustainable economic development. However, due to the weak concept of wetland protection under the rule of law and the lack of legal capacity, the area of the wetland around Chaohu Lake is shrinking with environmental pollution and ecological function degradation. In the new era of ecological civilization,the legal construction of wetland protection around Chaohu Lake should respond to the needs of wetland ecological function maintenance and people's increasing pursuit of a good ecological environment. It should make clear the scope of wetlands and the scope of main responsibilities, and implement comprehensive ecosystem management of wetlands around Chaohu Lake Basin, implement the principle of "three priorities" for wetland protection around Chaohu Lake, strictly place wetland development within ecological security, improve the incentive mechanism and give the public legal status and rights to participate in wetland protection and give full play to the role of environmental justice in protecting wetland resources and people's environmental rights and interests.#br#

Abstract: Abstract:The development, utilization and protection of wetlands around Chaohu Lake in accordance with the law is a sign of the construction of ecological civilization under the rule of law around Chaohu Lake and a guarantee for the stable natural ecosystem and sustainable economic development. However, due to the weak concept of wetland protection under the rule of law and the lack of legal capacity, the area of the wetland around Chaohu Lake is shrinking with environmental pollution and ecological function degradation. In the new era of ecological civilization,the legal construction of wetland protection around Chaohu Lake should respond to the needs of wetland ecological function maintenance and people's increasing pursuit of a good ecological environment. It should make clear the scope of wetlands and the scope of main responsibilities, and implement comprehensive ecosystem management of wetlands around Chaohu Lake Basin, implement the principle of "three priorities" for wetland protection around Chaohu Lake, strictly place wetland development within ecological security, improve the incentive mechanism and give the public legal status and rights to participate in wetland protection and give full play to the role of environmental justice in protecting wetland resources and people's environmental rights and interests.
