---- Environment

By 2020, 400,000 impoverished people will be recruited as ecological forest rangers and grassland guards. The compensation mechanism for ecological protection should be improved, offering more benefits for poor counties, villages and households that protect the environment.

Special operations should be carried out to clean up household garbage in poor rural areas, and explore ways to establish a cleanup system in villages. Sanitary toilets should be promoted according to local conditions and carry out treatment of fecal pollution. Areas could develop domestic sewage treatment.
