CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On December 5, in the Gongtan Ancient Town of Youyang County, a group of young volunteers joined local river and fisheries protection teams for a river patrol and clean-up mission.

In recent years, the young people in Youyang County and the "River Guardians" (known as He Xiao Qing) have been actively involved in the ecological restoration and protection of local rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. These dedicated volunteers regularly team up with river and fisheries protectors to monitor water quality, clean up litter from the river's surface, and conduct patrols to ensure the health of the aquatic ecosystem. Their collective efforts embody the vision of a harmonious water environment where the river flows smoothly, the waters remain clear, the banks are lush with greenery, and the scenery is pristine.
