The RP aims to provide a solution to the return of farmland to wetland for SPWPP and is prepared and upgraded based on the latest project proposals, as well as the results of the socioeconomic survey and affected person investigation. All the data in terms of project impacts that are used in the RP are collected and provided by Anbanghe River Wetland Reserve (ARWR). Upon verifying these data, the resettlement specialist in the PPTA team revised and upgraded the draft resettlement plan, prepared by Anbanghe River Wetland Protection Bureau (ARWPB) in October 2004, to form a complete resettlement plan, and to provide a review of the resettlement progress in the process of returning farmland to wetland. Heilongjiang Provicial Development and Reform Committee (HPDRC) will endorse the RP on behalf of Heilongjiang Provincial Government (HPG) following the approval of ADB.
