The trend of ecological deterioration on the mainland has been basically curbed
Today (22nd) is the 53rd World Earth Day, with the theme of "Cherishing the Earth" and "Harmonious coexistence between man and nature". Protecting natural ecosystems is an important part of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that with the stricter control of the national ecological space and the implementation of a series of major ecological protection and restoration projects, the trend of ecological deterioration on the mainland has been basically curbed, and the overall stability of the natural ecosystem has improved.
The Ministry of Natural Resources said that the mainland has continuously increased its ecological restoration efforts, coordinated the promotion of integrated protection and system governance of grass and sand ice in landscapes, forests, lakes, and grasslands, and a large number of major ecological restoration projects have shown results.
Zhou Yuanbo, director of the Department of Land and Space Ecological Restoration of the Ministry of Natural Resources: Through the scientific implementation of ecological restoration, the quality and stability of the mainland ecosystem have been improved, and the overall stability of the natural ecosystem has been improved, laying a foundation for guarding the national ecological security boundary and building a solid national ecological security.
According to the data, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the central government issued a total of 50 billion yuan of incentives and supplementary funds to support the implementation of 25 pilot projects for ecological protection and restoration of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses in various places, and overall improved the ecosystem quality of key ecological areas such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yangtze River Basin, and the Yellow River Basin, as well as important ecological nodes such as Qilian Mountain and Helan Mountain.
At the same time, the control of the mainland's ecological space is also more stringent. At present, the delineation of the national ecological protection redline has been basically completed, covering key ecological function areas, ecological environment sensitive areas and vulnerable areas, and covering key areas of national biodiversity distribution.
Mine ecology changed from "full of holes" to "heavy clothing"
Mine ecological restoration is an important part of ecological protection and restoration. The reporter learned that many places are actively exploring the use of marketization and mining while governance, etc., to continue to promote the ecological restoration and protection of mines, and many mines are changing from "full of holes" to "heavy green clothing".
In the past few days, in the mine treatment project of the Qikushan area of Fengrun District of Tangshan City, the reporter saw the cascading and scaly terraced greenery in front of him, the transport vehicles shuttled back and forth, and the scene was busy in the tense operation of large machinery.
In recent years, Fengrun District of Tangshan City has incorporated mine environmental governance into industrial development planning, actively explored the use of market-oriented methods, introduced social capital to participate in platform construction and project governance investment, and used abandoned mine construction parks and tourist resorts to drive mine restoration with industrial introduction according to local conditions and achieve economic transformation and development.
Gao Bo, head of the mine governance project in the Qikushan area of Fengrun District, Tangshan City: The qikushan area governance project is the largest concentrated continuous mine restoration project in Fengrun District, and as of now, all geological disasters in the project area have been eliminated. (Next) Carry out ecological restoration and landscape improvement in and around the entire area to provide convenient conditions for the next step of industrial planning and transformation and development.
Abandoned mines are being dressed in green, while many mines in Inner Mongolia are also being restored and treated at the same time. While ensuring safe production, the mining area customizes the restoration plan in advance, puts ecological restoration and governance in the first place, conserves water and soil, and improves vegetation coverage.
The population of wild Siberian tiger leopards is increasing year by year
Biodiversity is an important foundation for the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, which was established only last year, has become a habitat and breeding place for wild animals such as the Northeast tiger and leopard.
A few days ago, a wild Siberian tiger accidentally broke into the video surveillance footage of the duty point of the Hunchun Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station.
Liu Lulu, a police officer of the second team on duty at the Hunchun Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station: At that time, I was very excited to see it, and I was a little scared, and there was a little surprise.
Liu Lulu told reporters that the video surveillance area belongs to the scope of the National Tiger and Leopard Park, and with the advancement of natural forest protection projects and major biodiversity conservation projects, especially since the approval of the establishment of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard Park, the living environment of wild animals and plants has been effectively improved. The latest data show that the number of wild Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards has increased from 27 and 42 at the beginning of the pilot to 50 and 60 respectively, and more than 10 newly bred young tigers and more than 7 leopard cubs have been monitored, and there is a clear trend of spreading to Chinese mainland.
At present, in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, a set of "heaven and earth" integrated natural resources monitoring and management system has been installed, and 30,000 infrared cameras in the field have realized the full coverage of real-time monitoring of the park, which can not only realize the real-time backhaul of high-definition images and videos, but also collect and return the ecological factors of soil, water quality, air and other sensors.
Guide the public to establish the concept of ecological civilization
Today is Earth Day. Beijing has held a variety of science popularization practice activities to guide the public to establish the concept of ecological civilization and establish a correct view of natural resources.
At the Department of Natural Resources Map-themed Bookstore, a popular science lecture is underway. Wang Yang, senior editor of China Map Publishing House, showed the special maps of the mainland's water resources distribution map, forest resources distribution map, national park distribution map, etc., and introduced the spatial distribution of various natural resources and major nature reserves on the mainland in detail. He also combined the vivid stories of the smooth return of Asian elephants in Yunnan after moving north, the first appearance of the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River, and other people living in harmony with nature, and told the successful practice of the mainland's integrated protection of grass, sand and ice in landscapes, forests, lakes and lakes.
Guarding the Green Homeland and Sharing the "Beauty of Spring"
Over the past few days, through various forms of theme activities, various localities have guided the majority of children and teenagers to personally participate in environmental protection actions and become "little masters" to protect the environment.
This is the "Mother Earth I Love You" theme activity held by the Experimental Kindergarten of the China Children's Center, where children are introducing their own small works, inconspicuous old materials, discarded garbage and a little creative little ideas, which are "turned into treasure".
