The five-year programme to clean up the Yangtze and Yellow river basins will work out policies on pollution control and promote public awareness about reducing industrial pollution and waste discharge.

The project will also pay people living in China’s southwestern provinces to plant trees in an effort to improve the ecology along the Yangtze River.
