Heheng

Eastern Asia

Heheng is a village in Jiangyan, a city in Jiangsu province, China, and its name is written 河横 in Chinese. It is known chiefly for its environmental record. In 1990 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) placed the village on its Global 500 Roll of Honour, an award given because Heheng succeeded in protecting the environment while increasing its grain yield, and because of its wide use of marsh biogas ponds. The village maintains an official website, which was archived in 2009. The English Wikipedia article on Heheng is brief and gives no population, area, elevation or founding date, so none of those figures is stated here.
