China invests around $125b to protect key ecological areas

00:49

China has invested nearly 900 billion yuan ($124.4 billion) on the protection of key national ecological functional areas, which account for over half of China's land territorial area. 

In 2008, the central government introduced a transfer payment policy for funding such areas. These areas aid soil and water conservation, wind prevention, sand fixation and biodiversity conservation.
