Located in Liaoning Province, Liaoyang is one of the most time-honored cites in Northeast China. Liaoyang has attached great importance to ecological conservation and restoration, strengthening the protection of biodiversity, enhancing the management of forest resources, and vigorously carrying out ecological management and restoration of closed mines. The city has implemented 59 ecological management projects in total, covering an area of 210.2 hectares. Through ecological management, the damaged mountains in the mine area turn green again, and the ecological and social benefits are remarkable.
