BEIJING, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region has continued to improve the eco-environmental governance system, said a white paper issued by the State Council Information Office on Friday.

A series of policies, regulations and statutes have been promulgated and implemented, including the Plan on Eco-environmental Protection and Sustainable Development on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Ecological Conservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and Regulations on Developing National Eco-civilization Model in the Xizang Autonomous Region, according to the white paper titled "CPC Policies on the Governance of Xizang in the New Era: Approach and Achievements."

Xizang follows a holistic approach to the integrated conservation and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, deserts and glaciers. A responsibility system has been introduced by which the responsibility for protecting rivers, lakes, forests and grasslands is assigned to specific persons with the title of chiefs, said the white paper.
