| Its purpose is to promote the sustainable development of China’s largest fresh water lake, Poyang Lake, and its watershed (short MRL region) through mobilizing the participation of local communities and the establishment of partnerships among different stakeholders: Farmers, local communities, government agencies, and enterprises should contribute to solving the issues of ecological degradation and poverty. |
