The initiative aims to enhance public awareness of ecological conservation, highlight the GBA's natural advantages, and promote the vision of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

As one of China's biodiversity treasures, the GBA is home to a wide variety of wildlife species. In recent years, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have strengthened cooperation in ecological protection and wildlife conservation to pursue harmony between humanity and nature. With these ongoing conservation efforts, the region’s ecological environment has seen significant improvements.
