Recently, the Chinese Forestry Industry Association awarded plaques of "The Pilot Construction County (City/District) of National Forest Health and Conservation Base in 2020" to 35 counties (cities/districts). Nan'ao County of our city was successfully selected as the pilot construction county of national forest health and conservation base, winning a national green ecological business card again.

The basis of forest health and conservation is the ecological forest environment. As the only island county in Guangdong Province, Shantou Nan'ao is not only a "National Ecological Demonstration Zone", but also one of the first batch of 12 national demonstration areas for the construction of marine ecological civilization and the only experimental county for marine comprehensive development in Guangdong Province. It is hailed as "An Oasis on the Tropic of Cancer” for its rates of forest cover and woody plant cover both reach 72%. Nan'ao County was successfully selected as "The Pilot Construction County of National Forest Health and Conservation Base", which will further enhance the original value of ecological tourism in Nan'ao County and our city, and promote the high-quality development of ecological resources in our city.
