"Implementing the projects of ecological protection and restoration for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands, and comprehensively improving the stability of natural ecosystems and their ecological services". This important innovative achievement comes from Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, which provides important guidance and fundamental compliance for carrying out ecoenvironmental protection and restoration. Since 2019, Jiangsu province implemented pilot projects of ecological protection and restoration for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands at provincial scale, including 59 projects in five categories. On the basis of summarizing the work experience and practices in pilot areas, this paper analyzes the main problems and difficulties, such as the lack of understanding of the concept of coordination between ecological restoration and green development, the lack of integrity and systematicity of ecological restoration, the need to strengthen the experience summary and fullcycle management of ecological restoration, and the urgent need to improve the reform and innovation of institutional mechanisms that break boundaries, and puts forward the corresponding policy suggestions, in order to build a Jiangsu model on ecological protection and restoration.
