Environmental Protection and Ecological Restoration Committee (EPER)
The Environmental Protection and Ecological Restoration Committee focuses on environmental conservation, pollution control, ecosystem restoration, ecological risk prevention, and the rehabilitation of degraded natural systems. Its work covers forests, wetlands, rivers, grasslands, coastal zones, mining areas, agricultural landscapes, urban ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, habitat restoration, ecological engineering, environmental monitoring, and ecosystem service assessment. The Committee recognizes ecological restoration as a critical component of sustainable resource management and environmental security.
The mission of EPER is to advance scientific research, technical innovation, and policy support for environmental protection and ecological restoration. It seeks to integrate ecology, environmental science, geography, engineering, resource science, landscape planning, climate science, and governance studies. The Committee aims to provide evidence-based approaches for preventing ecological degradation, restoring damaged ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity, improving environmental quality, and strengthening ecosystem resilience.
The vision of EPER is to support a future in which human development is compatible with ecological integrity. It advocates for restoration-oriented resource governance, nature-based solutions, ecological security patterns, and long-term monitoring systems. The Committee emphasizes that ecological restoration should be scientifically designed, locally adapted, socially inclusive, and institutionally sustainable. It also recognizes that restoration is not merely technical remediation, but a broader process involving land use, community participation, policy coordination, financing mechanisms, and long-term stewardship.
The responsibilities of EPER include organizing academic conferences, technical workshops, field assessments, restoration case studies, and international cooperation projects. It supports the development of restoration standards, ecological monitoring indicators, environmental impact assessment methods, and policy recommendations. The Committee may also provide advisory services for degraded land restoration, watershed rehabilitation, mine ecological restoration, wetland recovery, biodiversity conservation, and climate adaptation. It encourages the use of advanced technologies such as remote sensing, ecological modeling, environmental DNA, artificial intelligence, and long-term observation networks. Through its activities, EPER aims to strengthen global capacity for environmental protection, improve restoration effectiveness, and contribute to ecological security, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.
