Julong Copper overcame the unfavourable factors such as extreme cold weather and high-altitude, and invested RMB102 million during the reporting period to actively promote the ecological restoration of the mining zone.

Julong Copper formulated the 2021-2025 Five-Year Ecological Restoration Plan. In accordance with the principle of "developing one area, stabilising one area, treating one area, and achieving success in one area", it conducted full evaluations of the mining zone and surrounding land as well as the ecological risks according to their special geographical location and climatic environment, and made detailed ecological restoration plans. In the process of construction, it made every effort to collect any collectible native turf and humus soil, which were then transplanted and stacked for subsequent reuse. Based on the local land conditions, it followed the scientific model of "planting trees or grass where the conditions are suitable, and forming stepped restoration” to restore vegetation: the "tree + shrub + herb" greening model was mainly adopted in areas below 4,000 metres in altitude, and the "shrub + herb" greening model was mainly adopted in areas between 4,000-5,000 metres in altitude; for areas above 5,000 metres in altitude, the "alpine herb" greening model was mainly adopted. During the reporting period, it completed an ecological restoration area of 1.72 million square metres, with 172,686 trees and shrubs planted.

At present, Julong Copper has a variety species of plants such as alpine grass, plateau willow, Tibetan poplar, sea buckthorn, Gesang flower and rapeseed at the surrounding area. Julong Copper's success has set a model for ecological restoration of plateau mines for the global mining industry.
