In recent years, Guizhou has made significant progress in ecological construction, striving to transform ecological advantages into developmental strengths.

While actively developing green energy sources such as wind and solar power, Guizhou makes full use of the land beneath photovoltaic panels to cultivate crops, and meanwhile encourages farmers to engage in agricultural planting by leveraging diverse terrain and varied climate, an effort to enhance farmers' income.

Currently, Guizhou's forest coverage rate stands at 63.3 percent, and its green economy accounts for 48 percent of the province's overall economic composition. (Xinhua)
