In late May 2026, Zhang Sijia, an attorney at Beijing King&Capital Law Firm, donated copies of her academic work *Theoretical Explorations and Practical Insights into Ecological and Environmental Crimes* to the Department of Law at the School of Economics and Management of China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and the School of Law at Beijing Technology and Business University. Through this donation of her personal academic achievements, she aims to give back to the academic community and contribute to legal education and the development of the rule of law in ecological civilization.
The donated book, *Theoretical Exploration and Practical Analysis of Ecological and Environmental Crimes*, is the culmination of Attorney Zhang Sijia’s many years of dedicated research in the field of ecological and environmental crimes. The book represents three years of her hard work in preparation and dedicated writing. Throughout the writing process, she remained true to her original intention of transforming her professional experience into theoretical insights. Using a wealth of real-life cases as a starting point, systematically outlines the theoretical framework and judicial practices of ecological and environmental crimes. It covers key offenses such as environmental pollution, illegal mining, and illegal occupation of agricultural land, integrating typical cases with practical case handling to provide law enforcement and judicial officials, lawyers, corporate compliance officers, and legal researchers with a professional reference that combines theoretical depth with practical value. Attorney Zhang Sijia noted that ecological and environmental crimes are characterized by their interdisciplinary nature, high level of specialization, and the difficulty of gathering evidence, presenting numerous challenges in practice. By writing this book, she hopes to systematically present the experience and insights she has accumulated on the front lines of case handling, providing a “roadmap for real-world practice” that future practitioners can draw upon.
