The Information Office of the State Council held a series of press conferences on the theme of “Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan” series today. At the conference, it was explained that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will further strengthen ecological supervision and focus on building a more accurate and efficient modern ecological supervision system. At the conference, it was explained that during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment made efforts to strengthen ecological supervision, in particular, strengthened “satellite film supervision”. Ecological damage was discovered, investigated and dealt with through satellite remote sensing, and remarkable results were achieved in the ecological supervision work. The number of new priority issues added to national nature reserves fell from 131 in 2021 to 6 in 2025, and the area dropped from 190.10 hectares to 8.22 hectares. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, efforts will be focused on three areas: “systematizing” ecological assessment work. Systematically carry out multi-scale ecological situation assessments of the country, key regions, nature reserves and ecological protection red lines, etc., to comprehensively grasp the ecological background and changing trends, and test the effectiveness of ecological protection and restoration work. “Precise” detection and treatment of ecological damage problems. Continuously optimize “security film supervision” to improve the accuracy of detecting ecological damage problems. Launch the “Green Shield” operation to strictly investigate and punish all kinds of ecological damage violations. Improve the ecological damage incident classification system, clarify the standard basis, work process and disposal requirements for judgment, and achieve standardized management of the entire process. “Digitalization” of ecological monitoring and supervision. Deepen the application of new technologies such as satellite remote sensing, AI image interpretation, environmental DNA, voiceprint recognition, large models and smart devices, and promote the iterative upgrading of the national ecological protection and restoration supervision platform. Continuously optimize the layout of comprehensive ecological quality monitoring stations and sample sites to improve ecological quality and biodiversity monitoring capabilities. Empower ecological supervision with technology to make supervision more accurate, more efficient, and more intelligent.
