Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
More than 78 percent of about 27,600 respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
21cnjy.com/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China's Sichuan province. Li said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation's 220 million migrant workers.
With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism, he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗连的) weekends, which means the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than
the National Day holiday," one responder said in an online post. "Every year, I wish I could spend
more time at home for the Spring Festival, but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this proposal.
" Another online comment read: "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (难民)''.
Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士气) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays.

Sustainable management is seen as a practical and economical way of protecting species from dying out. Instead of depending on largely ineffective laws against poaching (偷猎), it gives local people a good economic reason to preserve plants and animals. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there is a sustainable management project to protect elephants. Foreign tourists pay large sums of money to kill these animals for sports. This money is then given to the inhabitants of the area where the hunting takes place. In theory, locals will be encouraged to protect elephants, instead of poaching them because of the economic benefit involved.
This sounds like a sensible strategy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work. With corruption in these developing countries, some observers are skeptical that the money will actually reach the people it is intended for. Others wonder how effective the locals will be at stopping poachers.
There are also questions about whether sustainable management is practical when it comes to protecting forests. In theory, the principle should be the same as with elephants --- allow logging companies to cut down certain number of trees, but not so many as to completely destroy the forest.
Sustainable management of forests requires controls on the number of trees which are cut down, as well as investment in replacing them. Because almost all tropical forests are located in countries which desperately need funds from logging, there are few regulations and motive to do this.
One solution might be to confirm wood comes from sustainably managed forests. In theory, consumers would buy only this wood and so force logging companies to go "green" or go out of business. Unfortunately, unrestricted logging is so much more profitable that wood prices from managed forests would cost up to five times more --- an increase that consumers, no matter how "green", are unlikely to pay.

A. Sustainable management is usually used in commercial units.
