The urban ecological picture of water city integration.

　　The China Environmental Protection Century Tour 2022 publicity campaign led by the General Office of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress was held in Beijing a few days ago.

The theme of the event is "Implementing Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization and Protecting the Ecological Environment with the Power of Rule of Law".

　　The reporter walked into this park, which integrates ecological restoration, citizen leisure and cultural inheritance, with the interview group, looking for the governance code for the chemical industry cluster to become a "green lung of the city".

　　Millions of trees, shrubs and trees, hundreds of native plants, twenty-four solar terms, and four seasons landscape avenues together constitute the green base of the city's Green Heart Forest Park.

　　According to the on-site staff, the Urban Green Heart Forest Park was officially opened for operation on September 29, 2020. The planned construction area is about 11.2 square kilometers, of which the total green area is about 7.39 square kilometers.

　　Liu Mingxing, director of the Urban Greening Department of the Beijing Landscaping Bureau, said that the urban Green Heart Forest Park adds 6,200 tons of carbon every year and consumes 3,300 tons of carbon. It is a standard "negative carbon" park.

　　It is unimaginable that it used to be a chemical agglomeration area, including the Oriental Chemical Factory covering an area of ​​about 1.76 square kilometers, and 63 surrounding industrial enterprises.

Today, the roaring machine has been restored to silence.

　　Based on the design concept of "close to nature, retain flexibility, and live culture", Urban Green Heart Forest Park creates a near-natural forest landscape and waterfront space on old industrial sites such as the former Oriental Chemical Factory and East Asia Aluminum Industry.

Nearly one million trees and shrubs of various types, nearly 400 hectares of ground cover flowers and aquatic plants are planted in the garden, with a total of 238 plant species, and the forest coverage rate reaches over 80%.

　　The on-site staff said that the planning structure of the park is "one core, two rings, three belts, and five areas".

The "one core" is the core area of ​​ecological conservation, the "two rings" are the star-shaped fitness trail ring and the twenty-four solar term rings, and the "three belts" are the Sixth Ring Road landscape belt, the Grand Canal landscape belt, and the old canal road landscape belt. The five areas are cultural area, popular science area, rainwater area, citizen area and sports area.

　　The core area of ​​the former Dongfang Chemical Factory has now been transformed into an "ecological conservation core" that provides living space for small animals and birds.

Grey magpies, big-billed crows, hoopoe, goldfinch, spotted thrush, brown-headed crowfinch... Walk along the birdwatching line, and if you are lucky, you can encounter more than ten different birds.

A variety of "food source" plants are also planted in the park for the benefit of small animals.

　　Xu Yifan, director of the Soil Ecological Environment Division of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, said that the Urban Green Heart Forest Park is a typical case of implementing the Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law. Incorporate the "ecological conservation core", construct different types of plant communities in various ways, and implement ecological restoration with ecological methods.

　　"Since the opening of the Urban Green Heart Forest Park, the diversity, stability and sustainability of the soil ecological environment have been continuously improved." Xu Yifan said.

　　From a heavily polluted chemical agglomeration area to a vibrant and picturesque urban Green Heart Forest Park, behind the transformation is the epitome of Beijing’s “relief, rectification and promotion”, and it is also a powerful practice in implementing laws and regulations in the field of ecological civilization.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress on the same day, in terms of strengthening legislation in the field of ecological civilization in the capital, the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress continued to promote and improve pollution prevention and control regulations, and made a legislative "combination punch".

　　It is reported that since the implementation of the new environmental protection law, the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress has implemented the requirements of the environmental protection law and has listened to and reviewed environmental reports for seven consecutive years.

Adhere to and improve the environmental reporting system in accordance with the law, identify environmental reporting as a "regular report" item, and incorporate it into the regular agenda of supervision by the National People's Congress, and promote the normalization, long-term and institutionalization of the environmental reporting system.
