BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) — The China Agricultural Development Bank said Thursday it has issued loans totaling about 2.7 trillion yuan (about 377 billion U.S. dollars) since 2021 to preserve the ecosystems of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.
In particular, the bank allocated 2.09 trillion yuan to protect the Yangtze River and 605.2 billion yuan to protect the ecosystem of the Yellow River basin. According to the bank, these loans have significantly supported efforts to preserve the ecosystems of China’s two main rivers.
The financial institution assured that it would expand its lending support for the protection of the two rivers, focusing on key areas such as water security, transport infrastructure, rural upliftment and food security.
The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, known as the “mother rivers” of China, are the first and second longest rivers in the country, respectively. The two river basins are considered the cradle of Chinese civilization. –0–
