"There are millions of species here, including insects, plants, birds, and mammals, as well as many unrecorded species..."
The sunlight penetrates through the dense vegetation of the Amazon rainforest and scatters onto the ground, leaving little spots of light. Environmental engineer Gicel is holding a tape measure to measure the width of the clear line and registering all important tree information in the work area one by one.
The Amazon tropical rainforest, known as the "lungs of the Earth," is one of the most diverse regions on Earth. The Gran Tierra Charapa 3D exploration project, undertaken by Team 8625 of the Ecuador Project Department of the International Exploration Division, is currently under construction here.
In order to protect the rainforest, Team 8625 has developed a detailed environmental plan and animal and plant protection plan, taking measures such as analysis, supervision, monitoring, and protection to carefully care for every blade of grass, every tree, and the spirit of all things in the rainforest.
The environmental plan runs through the entire life cycle of the project, including establishing a sound environmental management system, solid environmental education, strengthening process dynamic environmental risk management, on-site supervision and inspection, waste management, and environmental emergency management measures.
The solid and meticulous environmental protection measures have won high recognition from the local environmental protection department and Party A.
"You see, this trace should be the footprints of a furry monkey," the environmental engineer said as he took out a camera and posted a sign.
In daily monitoring, environmental engineers always make many new discoveries, from ant burrows to precious shrubs, all under their control. At present, Team 8625 has conducted 570 environmental special inspections, identified 143 animal and plant protection points, marked 78 rare plant species, and identified 34 biologically sensitive areas, including animal habitats, breeding grounds, migration routes, and drinking water sources.
"As a Chinese enterprise, we always strictly abide by the local government's environmental regulations, strive to reduce the impact of project operations on the environment, and carefully care for the beautiful home of humanity," said Dan Qitong, the head of the Ecuador project department.
