Exploring the way of green development

  The National Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone is currently the highest honor in the field of ecological civilization construction in China. It not only reflects the achievements of a region in the construction of ecological civilization, but also demonstrates that a region is guided by the concept of green development to achieve win-win protection and development. efforts and practice.

  Strict access standards, ecological protection and development are at the forefront of the country

  Demonstration construction of ecological civilization is an important carrier and practical platform for building a beautiful China, and it is also an important measure and main starting point to help in-depth fight against pollution.

The person in charge of the Natural Ecological Protection Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment told reporters: "The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has successively formulated and revised the "National Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone Construction Index", "National Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone Management Regulations", and "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." Practice and Innovation Base Construction Management Regulations (Trial)" and "National Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone Planning and Compilation Guidelines (Trial)" have basically formed a construction model of planning first, standard-leading, standard-compliant creation, and dynamic supervision."

  Up to now, there are five batches of 362 national ecological civilization construction demonstration zones and 136 "green water and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice and innovation bases in China.

  In April, the world is full of fragrance, and the dove trees in mountain temples are in full bloom.

In Xuan'en County, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, there are nearly 10,000 mu of primitive natural dove tree communities in Qiximei Mountain National Nature Reserve, as well as the activities of various rare wild animals such as big cats and forest musk deer. The forest coverage rate is 93.8%.

  The beauty of Xuanen is not only that, the Xianshan Gongshui Tourist Area in the county seat is picturesque and beautiful.

Come here, you can not only get close to nature, but also feel the folk customs.

In 2019, Xuan'en Gongshui River officially became a "National Wetland Park".

  Drunk beauty Wujiatai, one leaf moves the world.

Wujiatai Village is the core area of ​​Xuan'en County's tribute tea industry economic belt. According to the development concept of "integration of tea and tourism, and global tourism", the local area revolves around "Xuanen in four seasons", with tea as the root and tea as the soul. The "Spring Tea" tourism brand with Wujiatai as the core has become a model for the integration of agriculture, tourism, tea and tourism, and cultural tourism in the primary, secondary and tertiary industries of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.

  In recent years, Xuanen has adhered to the principle of "Ecological County", in accordance with the development idea of ​​"integration of scenery and city, sharing of host and guest", strengthening ecological environment protection and developing ecological economy, "Xianshan tribute water, romantic Xuanen" has become Xuanen's image business card.

In 2021, Xuan'en County will be named as a National Demonstration Zone for Ecological Civilization Construction.

  The establishment of an ecological civilization construction demonstration area needs to meet a number of strict standards. "The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has set a series of access conditions in the "Management Regulations". Set up indicators in the "Construction Indicators" according to the six major fields of ecological system, ecological security, ecological space, ecological economy, ecological life and ecological culture, basically covering the integration of ecological civilization construction into economic construction , political construction, cultural construction, social construction in all aspects and the whole process, the assessment targets are higher than the national average, and the founding areas are required to be at the forefront of the country in implementing major decisions and deployments for ecological civilization construction." Ministry of Ecology and Environment Natural Ecological Protection The head of the company said.

  Serve major national strategies and strongly support the construction of a beautiful China

  In recent years, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has cultivated a number of demonstration samples by organizing the selection of national demonstration zones for ecological civilization construction and practice innovation bases of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, forming a good example of typical leading, demonstration-driven, and overall improvement. The situation has provided strong support for the construction of Beautiful China.

  The quality of the air and water environment in the demonstration area for ecological civilization construction is in the forefront of the province where it is located, and the ecological environment condition index is above excellent, and the goal of the battle against water, air, and soil pollution has been successfully completed.

About 15% and 22% of the counties (cities, districts) in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta region have been successfully established, which has effectively led to a significant improvement in the quality of the ecological environment in key regions such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.

Major national strategies such as the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the ecological civilization highland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have been strongly supported.

  Not only that, the establishment of the ecological civilization construction demonstration area has promoted the green and high-quality development of various places.

Through the construction of demonstration zones, a group of regions that used to be “dominated by one oil”, “dominated by coal” and “dominated by one mine” gradually get rid of the resource-consuming development model, a number of industrially developed but heavily polluted areas have achieved green transformation, and a number of The areas with excellent ecology and relatively backward development will be initially cultivated to form green growth points.

  Jiawang District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is a typical resource-based city that thrives on coal. After 130 years of coal mining, the ecological environment has been severely damaged, leaving behind 132,300 mu of coal mining subsidence and 283 barren mountains.

  After remorse, Jiawang District changed its development concept, guided its transformation and development with "ecological priority and green development", implemented coal mining subsidence management, water system management, carried out greening of barren mountains, built a "ten vertical, five horizontal and one ring" ecological water network, changing " "Scars of the Earth" is "Yiyou Garden", "bare rocks and bald mountains" are "forest oxygen bars", and "black and odorous water bodies" are "Shui Yunquan City". The magnificent turn of Qingshan Bancheng Lake".

In 2019, Jiawang District was named as a practice innovation base of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

  Through ecological restoration and reconstruction, Jiawang District has built four 4A-level scenic spots, namely Pan'an Lake, Dadong Mountain, Dugong Lake and Fengming Sea, exploring the characteristic path of ecological development in resource-exhausted cities, and embarking on a path of production development, rich life, The road to success in building an ecologically sound civilization.

Jiawang District's efforts and attempts have provided useful reference for the transformation and development of many resource-based cities.

  The establishment of the ecological civilization demonstration area has also significantly improved the ecological civilization awareness and participation level of the whole society.

According to statistics, the proportion of government green procurement in the demonstration area has exceeded 80%, and the awareness and level of green governance have been significantly improved; the participation and satisfaction of the masses in ecological civilization construction in the demonstration area have exceeded 80%, water-saving appliances have been fully popularized, new green buildings, public The proportion of transportation and travel has exceeded 50%, and the concept of green consumption in the whole society has been continuously strengthened.

  Explore valuable experience and models, and play a leading role in demonstration

  After years of practice, the demonstration construction of ecological civilization has explored a number of experiences and models for the transformation of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

  The person in charge of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment told reporters that relying on the construction of practice innovation bases of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", they are consolidating the background of lush waters and lush mountains, strengthening the momentum of green development, and exploring "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Active progress has been made in the transformation path, cultivating ecological culture and promoting ecological benefits for the people, and explored and formed four transformation paths of "keeping green for gold, adding green and increasing gold, adding green to gold, and green capital", "ecological restoration, ecological agriculture" 8 practice modes, including eco-tourism, eco-industry, 'ecological +' composite industry, ecological market, ecological finance, and ecological compensation", provide experience and reference samples for the practice of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" across the country.

"

  At the Guiyang International Forum on Ecological Civilization in 2021, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the first batch of "Practice Models and Typical Cases of "Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets", which attracted wide attention and heated discussions from all walks of life and played a good demonstration effect. .

  Since the 1950s, Longshan, where the Huaxia City of Weihai in Shandong Province is located, has successively built silkworm farms and concentrated stone mining areas. The ecological environment has been severely damaged.

From the beginning of 2003, Huaxia Culture and Tourism Group, after more than 10 years of arduous efforts in the style of "Yugong Moving Mountain" and "Phoenix Nirvana", has repaired 44 mines in Longshan, built a large-scale exhibition mainly focusing on Chinese traditional culture by setting up a stage for tourism and singing operas with culture. Eco-cultural tourist attractions.

  Huaxia Culture and Tourism Group establishes and implements the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", explores the ecological restoration of mines and the construction of tourist attractions, and realizes the long-term development of "integrated planning, integrated implementation, and integrated effect" of ecological restoration, industrial development and ecological product value. It has invested 5.16 billion yuan successively to transform the ruins of the mine into a 5A-level scenic spot with good ecology and beautiful scenery, which has driven the transformation and development of surrounding villages and communities, and achieved a win-win situation in ecological, economic and social benefits.

  In 2020, Weihai Huaxia City will be named as a practice innovation base of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

The development history of Weihai Huaxia City is of great reference significance for the use of market-oriented mechanisms and the road of development-oriented governance to speed up the solution of a large number of historical mine ecological and environmental problems in China. It has played an active role in promoting green development and building a beautiful China. Demonstration lead.

  The demonstration construction of ecological civilization will establish an advanced model through pilot demonstrations, drive the backward with the advanced, and lead the area with points.

"In the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will combine the experience in the demonstration construction of a series of ecological civilizations to carry out in-depth local practice of Beautiful China, with the goal of building the foundation of Beautiful China's cells, building a construction covering provinces, cities and counties, taking into account rural and urban areas, and covering three industries. The demonstration construction system of ecological civilization, tell the story of beautiful China to the world, and provide Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom for ecological civilization construction." said the person in charge of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
