The 2nd International Symposium on Land Reclamation and Ecological Restoration

October 20-23, 2017

Topic: Land Reclamation in Ecological Fragile Areas

Call for Papers Production and construction activities inevitably cause the land damage and environment problems. The promulgation of the Land Reclamation Act in 2011 marked a new journey of land reclamation work in and “The Belt and Road Initiative” in 2013 puts forward new requirements for the mining exploration and ecological environment protection. In order to promote the land reclamation and ecological restoration in mining areas to meet the requirements of “The Belt and Road Initiative”, The 2nd International Symposium on Land Reclamation and Ecological Restoration” will be held by China Coal Society on October 20-23 in Xi’an. We will invite international and domestic professionals from academic organizations, research institutes, universities, relative government departments, industry and media for in-depth discussions and exchanges for a wide range of topics on land reclamation and ecological restoration policies and regulations, planning, theoretical research, technology development and application.
