Mount Everest is the highest outpost on Earth to experience global climate change, and strict ecological protection of the region is of great significance to China and the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has comprehensively strengthened the national ecological environment protection work by deepening the reform measures of the ecological civilization system, and achieved significant achievements. Ecological environment protection has undergone historic, turning point, and global changes, making China's sky bluer, mountains greener, and water clearer. Among them, the Everest region, as an important scientific research base in the world, has achieved particularly remarkable results in ecological and environmental protection. Through the analysis of snow samples from Mount Everest, it was found that solid pollutants have a relatively small impact on the environment of Mount Everest; Compared with other regions of the world, the glacier retreat in the Everest region and the Qinghai Tibet Plateau is relatively slow; Representative ecosystems, wild animals and their habitats have been effectively protected, and the number of flagship species snow leopards has increased. The historic achievements in China's ecological and environmental protection come from the combination of China's current development stage and the steady progress in promoting ecological and environmental protection work. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that we should promote the construction of a beautiful China, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sand, coordinate industrial structure adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and response to climate change, coordinate the promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and promote ecological priority, conservation and intensification, and green and low-carbon development. From the perspective of historical development trajectory, China's ecological protection work has several characteristics: scientific protection methods, systematic protection objects, gradual protection stages, coordinated protection measures, strict protection methods, and global protection perspectives. At each stage, China innovates, optimizes, and improves the policy matrix system for ecological protection and pollution control based on new situations, goals, and tasks. Overall, these goals and policy measures are in line with the laws of China's economic and social development, as well as the laws of ecological protection, environmental pollution control, carbon peak and carbon neutrality. They are also basically consistent with the common laws of developed countries in carrying out ecological and environmental governance. The historic achievements in China's ecological and environmental protection come from the comprehensive strengthening of the legal construction of ecological civilization in China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has comprehensively launched the construction of ecological civilization internal regulations and national laws and regulations. The internal regulations of the Party stipulate that the Party and government have the same responsibility for ecological environment protection, the central ecological environment protection supervision, and the audit of natural resource assets departure of leading cadres. These measures provide Party regulations for the construction and reform of ecological civilization, and promote the formation of a new situation for the Party and the country's ecological civilization work. In terms of national laws and regulations, a series of laws and regulations, such as the Criminal Law and the Civil code, have made detailed provisions for acts such as destroying the ecological environment. Special laws, such as the Qinghai Tibet Plateau Ecological Protection Law, have made arrangements for the unified planning, coordination and integration of ecological environmental protection systems, systems and mechanisms in ecological basins and regions. In some places, in order to strengthen special areas
