In her first year, Wang proposed building a digital finless porpoise platform, which is now in place. She followed that up with a call for a national project of returning all relocated finless porpoise to their home in the Yangtze River. In 2025, she focused on hidden threats, including ship noise pollution and floodplain degradation.
In December 2025, eight ministries issued the Yangtze Finless Porpoise Rescue Action Plan (2026-35), which includes measures to restore the floodplains. "I'm glad all my proposals have been valued and implemented," Wang said.
