  "To coordinate the management of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes, grasses and sand, a word'sand' should be added here."

  At the time of the startling sting, everything is germinating.

On the afternoon of the 5th, in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again came to his Inner Mongolia delegation to participate in the deliberations.

  Speaking of protecting the ecological environment of Inner Mongolia and building an ecological security barrier in the north of the motherland, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the word "coordinated planning".

For a long time, he has been emphasizing the "systematic management of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses", and this time he specifically included sand control issues.

  Inner Mongolia is an important ecological security barrier in northern my country, and is the "Great Green Wall of Ten Thousand Miles" in the eyes of the General Secretary.

  During the National Two Sessions in 2019, when the delegation of Inner Mongolia participated in the deliberations, the general secretary pointed out that Inner Mongolia has forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers, lakes, deserts and other natural forms, and it is a long-form comprehensive ecosystem. Ecological protection and restoration must be comprehensively managed.

  During this review, the issue of ecological governance has become a focus topic again.

  Zhang Xiaobing from Bayannaoer spoke on behalf of the first.

He reported to the General Secretary on the promotion of ecological restoration in the Hetao area to prevent the desert from invading the Yellow River eastward.

  "Bayannaoer is located at the top of the Yellow River, and irrigated agriculture has developed very well." The general secretary is very familiar with this "Small Jiangnan" area. "Protect this place well. There is a problem of managing salinized farmland. There is also the issue of sand control."

  "How to arrange landscapes, forests, fields, lakes, grasses and sands? Top-level design and comprehensive management are required. This is a systematic project that takes a long time to work." The general secretary further explained, "For example, in some places, trees are planted back to forests and farmland is restored. It’s changed. Some places are not suitable for transforming the desert. Instead, they will spend a lot of money to transform. These are not good. First of all, we must do a good job of research, plan, and transform in a scientific direction. If we ignore the actual situation, we will go the wrong way. , The bamboo basket was empty."

  Representative Geming from the Alxa League said that about 93% of the land surface in Alxa is desert, Gobi, and desert steppe, and the ecological environment is very fragile. In the past, the people of Tengger, Badain Jaran, Ulanbu and deserts suffered greatly. .

  "Tengger used to be very polluted. The nearby provinces poured sewage into the desert. I gave special instructions for this issue, demanding to stop pollution and strengthen governance." The general secretary mentioned the past.

  Regarding ecological governance, the delegates talked about “forest” from “sand”.

  Representative Zhou Yizhe is a forest farm worker from the Greater Xing'an Mountains forest area in Inner Mongolia.

He introduced his experience of changing from a "tree cutter" to a "tree watcher":

  At the time of work, more than 50 people in their work team produce wood that can hold 400 train skins every winter.

Later, the country implemented a natural forest protection project, the forest was recuperated and the ecology was greatly improved.

  "There are more wild animals now, and roe deer and brown bears often visit forest farms and management and protection stations. According to estimates, the total value of forest and wetland ecosystem services here in 2018 is 615.974 billion yuan." He said.

  "From a tree-cutting person to a tree-seeing person, this change of your identity is a microcosm of the transformation of our country’s industrial structure." The general secretary took the conversation and worked out an ecological account for everyone. The total ecological value mentioned is the concept of green GDP, which shows that the ecology itself is value. There is not only the value of the forest itself, but also the green lung effect, which can also bring tourism and under-forest economy."

  General Secretary Xi Jinping urged Inner Mongolia to continue to fight pollution prevention and control battles, strengthen the comprehensive management of air, water, and soil pollution, and continue to improve the urban and rural environment.

  In terms of natural ecology, the general secretary also talked about political ecology.

  At one time, the development of Inner Mongolia relied on the exploitation of resources such as coal, which not only destroyed the natural ecology, but also brought pollution to the political ecology.

When participating in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation last year, the general secretary pointed out: "Coal-related corruption has become a cancer and source of pollution. We must learn lessons deeply and strictly plug loopholes in the system."

  Resolutely implement the requirements of the General Secretary. Since last year, Inner Mongolia has "inspected coal-related corruption for 20 years", and a large number of violations of discipline and law have been dealt with.

  "This matter must be grasped. If you don't grasp it, you can't do it." The general secretary has a firm tone. Party members and cadres at all levels "must always remember that they will always be the public servants of the people. They must not use the power in their hands for personal gain or for some interest groups." "Using coal to commit corruption, the fox's tail will be exposed sooner or later, and when it is exposed, it will be beaten."

  "Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has been anti-corruption for eight years. On the one hand, it has resolutely zero tolerance for incremental corruption, and on the other hand, it has zero tolerance for existing corruption as long as it is exposed. Anti-corruption is always on the way." Xi Jinping Said the general secretary.
