China News Service, Beijing, February 26 (Reporter Liu Yuying and Ruan Yulin) The first batch of the third round of central ecological and environmental protection inspections began to provide feedback to the five provinces of Hainan, Qinghai, Fujian, Henan and Gansu on February 26.
On the 26th, the inspection team launched inspection feedback on Hainan and Qinghai provinces.
The inspector pointed out that in terms of mangrove protection, relevant departments in Hainan Province have not issued a plan for the protection and development of mangrove resources in accordance with regulations. The scope of mangrove protection is unclear and there is a lack of supervision and law enforcement.
Inspectors also found that damage to natural shorelines occurred from time to time.
In addition, there are outstanding problems in some areas of the construction of the National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone in Hainan Province.
There are acts of vandalism in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park.
Wuzhishan City Huawu Renjian Tourism Investment Company illegally reclaimed public welfare forest land in the national park to grow coffee and other cash crops.
A large number of bananas and other high-stem crops were interplanted in the reforestation project of Exian Village, Donghe Town, Dongfang City, causing forest damage and a deforestation area of about 120 acres.
The inspection report pointed out a number of problems in Qinghai Province.
For example, there are weak links in the ecological protection of Qinghai Lake.
There are still problems with the operation of surrounding sewage treatment facilities, there are still gaps in non-point source pollution control, and the water quality of some rivers entering the lake has been affected.
Abnormal proliferation of Cladophora algae occurred near the mouth of Qinghai Lake's main rivers and in coastal areas.
Grassland ecological protection is inadequate.
The problem of natural grassland overload in Guoluo, Huangnan, Haibei and other prefectures is serious.
The overlapping areas of the province's grass-livestock balance areas, nature reserves where grazing should be prohibited, and severely degraded grasslands reached 39.14 million acres and 10.31 million acres respectively.
The black soil beach restoration plan is unscientific, and some grassland improvement plots do not meet the conditions for restoration.
The inspection report also pointed out that there are shortcomings in the implementation of the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy in the Yellow River Basin, including the slow progress of cleanup and rectification of small hydropower stations, and the fact that 23 of the 64 small hydropower stations included in the "exit category" have not completed their exit plans.
The inspection team requires each province to formulate corresponding rectification plans based on the inspection report and submit them to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council within 45 working days. It also requires each province to disclose the inspection and rectification results to the public.
It is understood that the first batch of inspectors in the third round was launched in late November last year and completed their deployment.
