Being awarded to people or enterprises that have made the most effective contribution to environmental protection.The grants thus single out unknown heroes.support conservationists，and arouse environmental protection awareness in the whole community.In the coming years we will consider setting a theme for each year that reflects China’s most serious environmental problem.”
