ON SERVICES OF LANDSCAPES

Abstract

The Xisha Islands in the South China Sea have long been rich and beautiful in natural resources. However, after the author’s recent visits to the islands, it was observed that the islands have seen a coral damage and a loss of biodiversity. Meanwhile, the marine life and mineral deposits have been plundered for material gains. Preserving the beauty and landscape services of the islands should be the most important to their future, rather than economic benefits. Nurturing love and the Beautiful China dream on these islands will worth more than developing industries such as fishing and marine ranching.
