These opinions aim to further enhance judicial protection for these regions' ecological environments.
According to reports, each opinion includes specific requirements for courts at all levels in Shaanxi Province to improve their handling of cases related to these areas. The three opinions cover a total of 60 articles across nine aspects: pollution prevention and control, resource utilization, biodiversity conservation, development and construction projects, cultural heritage preservation and promotion, public interest litigation involving environmental issues, trial procedures for environmental damage compensation cases, enforcement proceedings related to environmental protection fines or penalties imposed by administrative law enforcement authorities.
Shaanxi Provincial Deputy Procurator-General Zhang Xingren emphasized that implementing these opinions will require judges at all levels in Shaanxi Province to adopt a proactive approach when handling such cases.
