The reporter learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources yesterday (February 19) that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's land and space ecological restoration has made groundbreaking progress, and a comprehensive management system of land and sea coordination and system restoration has been established, and a new ecological restoration has been initially formed. pattern.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country has clarified the red line delineation and control rules for ecological protection. The terrestrial and marine ecological spaces have special and important ecological functions and areas that require compulsory and strict protection are marked as red lines. Guaranteed.
In addition, in 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly prepared and issued the "National Major Ecosystem Protection and Restoration Major Projects (2021-2035)", laying out the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecological barrier area, the Yellow River key ecological area, and the Yangtze River Seven major regional ecological protection and restoration projects including key ecological zones and northeast forest belts, as well as two single projects including natural reserves and wildlife protection, ecological protection and restoration support systems.
Zhou Yuanbo, Director of the Department of Land and Space Ecological Restoration, Ministry of Natural Resources:
This is also the first major national ecological protection plan we have formulated since the 18th National Congress of the
Communist Party of China.
It is in important ecological function areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and other important rivers. Nine major projects have been deployed to protect the country’s ecological security and maintain the safe boundaries of natural production.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country also launched 25 pilot projects for ecological protection and restoration of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, including Fuxian Lake.
The central government has allocated a total of 50 billion yuan, and the actual investment currently completed is nearly 170 billion yuan.

Zhou Yuanbo, Director of the Department of Land, Space and Ecological Restoration of the Ministry of Natural Resources: During the
"13th Five-Year Plan" period, the original single factor of production management and the implementation of single restoration projects were changed, and the integration of landscape, forest, field, lake and grass protection and restoration was also initially formed New pattern of ecological restoration work.
At the same time, the construction of my country's natural protected area system is progressing steadily.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the number of nature reserves nationwide has increased by more than 700, and the area has increased by more than 25 million hectares, bringing the total number to 11,800.
The state encourages social capital to enter the field of ecological restoration
Ecological restoration of mines is an important part of ecological restoration of land and space.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the state explored to encourage social capital to invest in ecological restoration, and through policies such as granting a certain period of natural resource property rights to encourage social entities to invest in ecological restoration of mines.

Based on the principle of who will benefit from the construction, we have given preferential treatment from some land policies. One is that our government first builds the infrastructure, and the surrounding environment is beautified, and then experts are invited. The ecological restoration of this area has been designed with high standards and social funds are encouraged to invest in construction.
As the "mine restoration + tourism development" model continues to mature, social capital has also joined in, and local villagers have personally experienced the transformation from mining in the mountains to working in scenic spots.
