Strict accountability for ecological damage is only one aspect, and more importantly, strict checks are required to prevent those illegal constructions from appearing in the ecological protection red line area from the very beginning.
On May 6, 2021, the Central Eighth Ecological Environmental Protection Inspectorate exposed a typical case of "over-development of Changyao Mountain in Jinning, Kunming, Yunnan, seriously affecting the integrity of the Dianchi Lake ecosystem".
A few days ago, the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision obtained the "Notice on the Accountability and Accountability of Illegal Construction Issues in the Changyao Mountain Area of the "Famous Ancient Dian City" and the Cinque Terre in the Future City of Dianchi Lake Nanwan", including the Kunming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Eight provincial management units, including the Yunnan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, 12 division-level units including the Jinning District Party Committee and District Government, and Dianchi Lake Administration, as well as 9 department-level units and 58 responsible persons were held accountable.
According to the accountability situation announced this time, 29 responsible units have been held accountable, 58 responsible persons have been dealt with, and the accountability level has reached the level of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment. Firm determination to protect the ecological red line.
In fact, after the Qinling Villa Incident, the Dianchi Villa incident was also treated as a major case. On the one hand, the Dianchi Lake has great ecological value, and the ecological damage will cause irreversible effects; on the other hand, the Dianchi Lake The destruction of the ecology in the area is far from simple as a company breaking the red line. There are also serious derelictions of duty in the relevant local functional organizations.
Just after the notification from the Central Inspectorate last year, the local area quickly carried out demolition work for some illegal constructions.
However, it is destined to be quite difficult to restore the damaged mountains to their original state.
How to deal with the remaining illegal construction groups is also a big problem.
If it is preserved, it will damage the ecology of Dianchi Lake, and it may become a problem left over from history if it is delayed for a long time; if it is demolished, it will also be a huge cost.
This dilemma highlights the difficulty of ecological governance.
Some places are paralyzed by the immediate short-term interests, and sacrifice the ecology in exchange for short-term economic interests, resulting in a mess.
Therefore, serious accountability for ecological damage is only one aspect, and more importantly, strict control is required, so that those illegal constructions may not appear in the ecological protection red line area from the beginning.
In any case, ecological protection is a long-term account.
This time, the high-pressure accountability for the incident of the Dianchi villa group has reiterated the ecological red line, which has also formed a warning effect on other places - at any time, the relationship between development and ecology must be balanced, sacrificing the interests of future generations, and pursuing short-term Economic interests and political achievements, taking the ecological environment as a stepping stone for promotion, will definitely pay a heavy price.
