Nanjing Declaration of 1st China ’s Forum on Lakes

( Nanjing , December 11, 2011)

Harmony between Man and Lake

— Keep Source of Life Everlasting

On December 9-11, 2011, we gathered in Nanjing —with a common aspiration of keeping our lakes healthy and its development sustainable—to share our respective research findings, hold in-depth discussions and make the most of our collective wisdom. On this basis, we have reached a consensus, jointly issuing Nanjing Declaration of 1st China ’s Forum on Lakes.

Some people compare the lake to the mother of the land, as she is connected to rivers and the sea, helping foster the splendid human civilization; others compare it to a bright pearl, as stretches of the plains are dotted with her sparkling waters, on which lotus plants are in bloom, and over which fishermen in fishing boats fill the evening air with songs; still others compare it to the son of the sea, as it can, so to speak, satisfy the mountaineers’ desire to view the sea. No wonder famous Chinese ancient poet Li Bai sang the beauty of lakes in some of his poems. As an important source of the earth’s fresh water, lakes contain over 90 percent of freshwater resources, and have served as an important habitat for living creatures ever since ancient times. Thus it can be well said that human development depends heavily on them.    

China boasts plenty of lakes over its vast land, with as many as 24 thousand natural lakes covering an area of up to 83 thousand square kilometers. Distributed over the plains in the east and northeast, and over the plateaus in such provinces and areas as Tibet, Qinghai, Yunnan, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, these lakes have played an important role in maintaining the country’s ecological balance, and in both flood control and drought relief. Accounting for one-third of China’s lakes in area, the top five lakes—Lake Panyang,  Dongting, Tai, Hongze and Chao—gather like pearls of the pearls along the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and stand out as being more important to the preservation of the nation’s resources and environment, and to its economic and social development as a whole. These lakes are particularly significant to the life of the people in the provinces of Hunan , Hubai , Jiangxi , Anhui , Jiangsu , Zhejiang , and in the city of Shanghai .

At the moment, the ecological system of lakes is confronted with severe challenges due to the climate change resulting from human activities—water quality is deteriorating, sediment accumulating, wetlands shrinking in size, aquatic organisms dying out, and consequently the capacity of flood control and drought relief affected. Every year about 20 natural lakes dishearteningly disappear. The previous limpid and beautiful waters no longer exist; fish, shrimps and wild birds have lost their habitats; and those “pearls of the pearls” are tarnished and tainted, eventually becoming, as it were, filthy pools of tears. What is the cause for this situation? The root cause is that the damage originating from human activities of production has exceeded the self-adjusting capacity of lakes. The alarm bell is ringing—the source of life will dry up and thus the development will be unsustainable. Therefore we now call on the whole society to step up efforts to preserve the ecological health of our lakes and promote harmonious coexistence of human beings and our lakes. We propose that we should respect our lakes, properly treat and protect them to make this source of life everlasting.

Lakes are to be respected. We should be fully aware of the damage inflicted on our lakes in the past, and of the vulnerability of their ecological system; we should realize the importance of protecting their integrity, variety of wildlife and environment, adopting a scientific approach in their development, strictly controlling contaminants coming into our lakes. 

Lakes are to be kindly treated. We ought to treasure our lakes as much as we treasure our own lives; we shall draft the framework of the lake preservation, and take effective measures to standardize the operations in the lake development, to restore their various functions by repairing the ecological damage and promoting their ecologically virtuous cycle.  

Lakes should be protected. Publicity campaigns are to be launched on the relationship between man and lake to strike the public into full awareness that human existence relies on lakes, and that our lakes play an indispensible role in both economic and social development; we should give priority to the protection of lakes and optimize the administrative functions to ensure that they are properly preserved and revitalized.

Respecting lakes is tantamount to respecting human history!

Kindly treating lakes is equivalent to kindly treating us human beings!

Protecting lakes is just as important as protecting humanity!

Every human being is obligated to keep lakes healthy. Let’s join our efforts to establish an ecologically-friendly era in which harmony prevails between man and lake
