The Three Rivers Source area provides 25% of the waters in the Yangtze River, 49% of the Yellow River, and 15% of the extra-boundary waters of the lancang River, thereby earning for itself the name 'The Water Tower of China'. However, in recent decades, the ecological environment of the Three Rivers Source has suffered severe damage due to a combination of natural and human factors. Determined to avert catastrophe, China has invested extensively in a series of projects in ecological protection and reconstruction, elevating the initiatives to nationwide campaign.
《'国际责任-中国在行动'丛书:拯救三江源(英文版)》展示的是进入本世纪以来，中国政府启动的三江源生态保护与建设工程，规划投资上百亿元对三江源区进行保护和综合治理，涉及17个县市30余万平方公里土地，包括对区域经济利益的牺牲和大规模的移民工程，是迄今为止我国最大的生态保护项目。三江源区生态系统在经历了近30年的持续退化之后，逐步呈现出向良性发展的趋势。
