Qinghai Province, located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is the birthplace of the mother river, the Yellow River.
In recent years, relevant prefectures and counties in the Yellow River Basin of Qinghai Province have launched a large-scale voluntary tree-planting campaign, striving to turn barren hills into oasis.
The main stream of the Yellow River flows through Jianzha County, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province for about 100 kilometers, which is the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau.
A few days ago, Jianzha County's 2022 national land greening mobilization and voluntary tree-planting operation was launched at the afforestation and greening site of Geri Society, Jianbaang Village, Anla Township. Plant them one by one.
According to a reporter from Chinanews.com, Jianzha County, which has won the "National Model Unit for Greening", combines afforestation and landscaping, greening and beautification. In 2022, it is expected that the land greening area will reach 433,700 mu.
Cai Kejie, secretary of the Jianzha County Party Committee, said that the implementation of land greening should be placed at a strategic height, all staff should be involved in the battle, and the implementation should be carried out.
According to a reporter from Chinanews.com, Jianzha County is committed to afforestation, ecological protection and restoration, and greening of key areas. The vegetation coverage rate has increased from 28.2% at the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" to 36.6% at the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. The land greening work has been commended by the whole country and the whole province, but the task of ecological governance and environmental protection along the Yellow River is still arduous.
"We must continue to carry out the consolidation and improvement of land greening, and take afforestation and greening as a basic and traction project to build an ecological barrier and build an ecological civilization." said Lu Ning, deputy secretary of the Jianzha County Party Committee and head of the county government.
It is reported that in 2022, the central government-supported land greening pilot demonstration project for the comprehensive management of ecological restoration in the Jianzha-Tongren section of the Yellow River Basin will be included in the 2022 National Forestry Reform and Development Fund to support the national land greening pilot demonstration project.
Land greening has foundations, but also difficulties.
It is reported that Jianzha County requires a solid greening of the county seat, urban trunk roads and soil-eroded land, vigorously planting green to replenish green, and inserting green in gaps to create a good ecological environment.
Extensive mobilization of the public to carry out land greening, garden beautification, sanitation improvement and other work, to achieve the mobilization of the whole county, the whole people, and the whole society to focus on greening.
In addition, Jianzha County combines land greening with the key tasks of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and integrates land greening actions into various tasks such as poverty alleviation and consolidation, rural revitalization, and pollution control, and strives to cultivate green industries. Ecological benefits are transformed into economic benefits.
According to a reporter from Chinanews.com, in addition to Jianzha County, Haidong City and Hainan Prefecture in Qinghai Province, where the Yellow River flows, have also launched large-scale land greening operations in recent years.
Qinghai Forestry and Grassland Bureau announced in mid-March that since the "13th Five-Year Plan", Qinghai Province has completed 98.1 million voluntary tree plantings, with 18.37 million participants.
In 2021, 19.1 million voluntary trees will be planted, with 3.37 million participants.
It is reported that in 2022, Qinghai Province will continue to implement a three-year action plan for the consolidation and improvement of land greening, and plans to complete 4.455 million mu of land greening.
