  Over the past 10 years, Gansu has paid close attention to the goal of "two worries and three guarantees" to make up for its shortcomings. The phenomenon of dropping out of compulsory education has been dynamically eliminated. The "blank spots" of rural medical institutions and medical personnel in poor counties have been filled one by one, and more than 800,000 rural dilapidated houses have been completely renovated.

Through the construction of water supply projects and the installation of water cellar water purification equipment, the phenomenon of unsafe drinking water in rural areas has been eliminated historically.

Walking into this new immigrant village composed of impoverished people who moved out from the valley, there are row upon row of efficient greenhouses, the resettlement houses are spacious and bright, and the living environment is beautiful and tidy.

The village's 1,379 relocated people are lifted out of poverty by relying on industries. In 2021, the village's collective economic income will reach 1.665 million yuan, and more than 600 people will achieve local employment.

Constructing the National Western Ecological Safety Barrier

  In August 2019, when listening to the work report of the provincial party committee and the provincial government during an inspection in Gansu, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen ecological environmental protection, correctly handle the relationship between development and protection, accelerate the development of ecological industries, and build an ecological security barrier in the western part of the country.

In the past three years, Gansu Province has successively issued a package of policies and measures on the protection of the Qilian Mountains, and has established a regular monitoring, analysis and early warning mechanism for the Qilian Mountains ecology through various measures, and has promoted the transformation of the ecological protection work of the Qilian Mountains from centralized rectification to normalization.

Zhangye City, under the Qilian Mountains, will trade with a 60-year 351,000-mu afforestation carbon sink project in 2021, achieving economic benefits of more than 4 million yuan.

Up to now, Gansu has participated in the national carbon market with a cumulative transaction volume of 4.55 million tons, with a cumulative transaction value of about 198 million yuan.

  The Yellow River, which winds and rushes for more than 900 kilometers, has also become the top priority of Gansu's governance and protection.

In recent years, Gansu will designate 513 environmental management and control units along the Yellow River Basin, sign a framework agreement on joint prevention and control of water pollution in the transboundary watershed with four neighboring provinces and regions, and carry out ecological compensation in the upper and lower reaches of the river basin.
