Features: Protecting the ecological environment is a common cause of all humanity. Everyone living on Earth has a responsibility to strive for maintaining the human living environment. Precisely for this reason, the rational development and utilization of natural resources and the pressure humans exert on the ecological environment have become one of the major issues of concern for countries and regions around the world today. Enhancing ecological awareness is an important indicator of social progress and national civilization in the world today, as well as a powerful driving force for promoting coordinated economic and ecological development. In a nutshell, humanity needs a new path of development—one that can support global human progress not just for a few years in some regions, but for the distant future. We firmly believe that the publication of China Nature Resource Series – Shanghai Volume as a comprehensive, primarily text-based, and systematic toolbook introducing Shanghai's natural resources will play a positive role in helping us follow the laws of ecological balance, cherish our living environment, rationally develop and utilize natural resources, and achieve coordinated economic and ecological development.
