This article explores the crucial first steps in enforcing the black soils protection law in China, presents the governance rationale for safeguarding black soil, and ultimately devises an effective governance system for the same. The article contends that black soils conservation necessitates a shift towards scientific management grounded in legislation and advocates for the establishment of a protection and governance system, including firming up the government's central role, executing scientific and technological initiatives, setting up inter-regional protection mechanisms, innovating management techniques, and exploring land-scale management.
