From June 10th to August 13th, we used vivid and lively stories to truly reproduce that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", the Chinese people lay a solid foundation for the blue sky. , Clear water, and the battle to defend the pure land, creating a China where "green mountains always exist, green water always flows, and air always new"!
Look, the tree-lined Saihanba, the eight-step sand covered with 75,000 acres of green clothing, the "golden unchanging" north beach, the mangrove forest that resists wind and waves, the mother river where the sand is retreated and the water is clear... …This is a human miracle of ecological governance; this is a China whose "appearance" and "temperament" are increasing day by day.
Dear readers, the column has a period of time, and we will continue to forge ahead. This series of reports ends today, but we will continue to tell you about a beautiful China that is constantly forging ahead on the journey of great rejuvenation through new columns and reports!
"A good environment, a good life, and a good mood, these days are two words: happiness!" Villager Pan Peiqin in Yucun Village, Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province happily took out his mobile phone and showed reporters the Yucun drum team. photo. "The concept of'green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains' has given us a blessing!" said 61-year-old Sister Pan.
The green water and green hills here were once covered by dust and sewage. Beginning in the 1970s, Anji started mining in the mountains and the environment was severely damaged. On August 15, 2005, the then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee Xi Jinping emphasized during an inspection in Yucun: “We used to say that we want green water and green mountains, but also golden mountains and silver mountains. In fact, green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains.” This is For the first time, Xi Jinping put forward the idea that "green water and green mountains are golden and silver mountains".
Under the guidance of the concept of "two mountains", Anji made great efforts to rectify the ecological environment, develop eco-tourism, "not sell stones and sell scenery", and become a livable, business and tourist place in "Anqixi".
"This is the beautiful motherland and the place where I grew up. In this vast land, there are bright scenery everywhere..." On the land of China, many such changes have already occurred:
Look, in Shapotou, Ningxia, the grass-cut sand control ensures the smooth flow of the Baolan Railway, and the "Chinese Rubik's Cube" is world-renowned;
Look, Wuxi, Jiangsu, on the shore of the Taihu Lake, implements the river chief system, allowing the river to grow and control the water;
Look, Guangxi Beihai, with a coastline of 669 kilometers, regards ecology as "no change in gold" and "raising the sea" to protect beaches;
Look, the air quality in Beijing continues to improve. Last year, the number of days meeting the standard was 240 days, 64 days more than in 2013...
The sky is getting blue. The mountains are getting greener. The water is getting clearer. What is unfolding before the world is a China with increasingly improved "face value" and "temperament".
How did the Chinese miracle of ecological governance be realized?
——Do not forget the original intention and benefit the people.
"Ecological environmental protection is a century-old plan for the benefit of the people." Since the founding of New China for more than 70 years, it has always insisted on ecological benefits, ecological benefits, and ecological benefits for the people, and the strategic status of ecological environmental protection has been continuously improved.
Entering the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core vigorously promotes the construction of ecological civilization and the construction of a beautiful China. The construction of ecological civilization is included in the overall layout of the "five in one" socialism with Chinese characteristics. China has issued and implemented three major action plans for the prevention and control of air, water, and soil pollution, and launched a full-scale defense of blue sky, clear water, and pure land. China is the world's first large-scale developing country to carry out PM2.5 control on a large scale, forming the world's largest sewage treatment capacity and becoming the world's largest country in the use of new and renewable energy.
——Respect for nature and manage scientifically.
In Yuhuan City, Zhejiang Province, on the southeastern coast of China, a dam was built by reclamation in the 1970s, which connected the island where the main city of Yuhuan is located with the mainland, but blocked ocean currents. In order to restore the ecological environment of the bay, the Yuhuan people who used to reclaim the sea and build the dam again changed the map and began to withdraw the dam and build the bridge in 2017;
In Dongting Lake in central China, hundreds of low fences for reclamation of lakes and river courses have been demolished in recent years. The wetland is protected by a combination of artificial restoration and natural restoration, and the lake is full of blue waves;
In the loess slopes of northwest China, where trees are difficult to grow, trees and grasses are no longer blindly planted, but the ecological environment is protected by means of terrace transformation and dam-silting land. The water does not go down the mountain, the soil does not emerge from the ditch, the Loess Plateau is full of green and vibrant...
Over the years, our understanding of the relationship between man and nature has been continuously deepened in practice. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts "persistence in the harmonious coexistence of man and nature" as one of the basic strategies for adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Nowadays, although the ability to transform and conquer nature has been continuously enhanced, we are paying more and more attention to respecting nature, conforming to nature, and protecting nature. We have systematically managed mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, and have closely integrated biological control measures with engineering measures to find an ecological priority. The way to green development. A paper published in the British "Nature·Sustainable Development" magazine pointed out that satellite monitoring data showed that about one-quarter of the newly added green area in the world from 2000 to 2017 came from China, which ranks first in the world.
——Continuously, for a long time to work.
The Saihanba Forest Farm in the northernmost part of Hebei, Juzigou in the Matikengying Forest Area. The average slope here is 30 degrees, the soil is barren and the desertification is serious, but the Pinus sylvestris on the hillside is growing well. Since 2011, the forest farm has used 100,000 mu of barren hills, sandy land and barren mountainous land as the main battlefield for afforestation. "After the saplings on these hard-bone plots become forests, the forest coverage of the forest farm will increase from the current 80% to the saturation value of 86%," said Fan Dongdong, deputy head of the forestry department of the forest farm.
More than half a century ago, here was a desolate and bitter cold place where "yellow sand covers the sky and the sky is covered by the sky, birds and trees are inhabited". The three generations of forestry staff kept their mission in mind and persevered, and poured their hard work into the world's largest plantation forest with an area of 1.12 million mu.
A miracle is far from being accomplished in a day, and it often takes decades to persevere. As early as 1956, China established its first national nature reserve. Since 1978, the "Three Norths" project has completed more than 30 million hectares of afforestation and built a "Green Great Wall" in northern Xinjiang. Entering the new era, China has implemented ecological protection and restoration projects of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, and carried out national greening actions. At present, 474 national-level nature reserves have been established nationwide, with various land nature reserves covering more than 1.7 million square kilometers. The national forest coverage rate has increased from 8.6% in the early days of the founding of New China to the current 22.96%.
China's "green business card" has become increasingly prominent internationally. The builders of the Saihanba Forest Farm in Hebei, the "Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation" project in Zhejiang Province, and the Alipay "Ant Forest" project have successively won the "Earth Guardian Award", the highest environmental award of the United Nations. "In advocating and implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement to address climate change, China is an important participant, contributor, and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization. This is recognized by the international community. Well-deserved and well-deserved!" said Pan Jiahua, member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the Sustainable Development Research Center.
"The concept of'green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains' has become the consensus and action of the whole party and society, and has become an important part of the new development concept. Practice has proved that economic development cannot be at the cost of destroying the ecology. The ecology itself is the economy and protects the ecology. It is the development of productivity.” On March 30 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when he revisited Yucun Village, Tianhuangping Town, Anji County.
"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are striding forward from the beginning." Maintaining the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, and moving forward toward the goal of a beautiful China, there will be more Chinese miracles of ecological governance blooming in this vibrant land. !
