Mainland Chinese courts have attached greater importance to preventing ecological and environmental damage, according to a judge from the Supreme People's Court, or SPC.
Courts at all levels issued 208 bans for ecological protection in 2025, according to the work report delivered by Zhang Jun, SPC president, at the second plenary meeting of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress on Monday.
Wu Zhaoxiang, chief judge of the SPC's Environment and Resource Division, said that in terms of ecological protection, the issuance of these bans in advance is more effective than post-event remedies, as such damage is always irreversible.
In terms of post-judgment remedy, the courts regard the determination of a restoration plan as an important part of the trial of public interest litigation cases.
These remedies included re-greening, fish stocking, rewilding and reintroduction.
