Poyang Lake, as the largest freshwater lake in China, carries rich biodiversity and important ecological functions. However, in recent years, the ecological environment of Poyang Lake has been seriously threatened due to problems such as illegal low fences, agricultural non-point source pollution, and inadequate protection measures. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently disclosed that the third central ecological and environmental protection inspection team found a number of problems that need to be solved urgently in Jiangxi Province in May this year.
The illegal low fence is not effectively rectified
The problem of illegal low enclosure has been around for a long time, and despite repeated orders from relevant state departments, the practice of enclosing lakes and cultivating land has been repeatedly prohibited. Jiangxi Province has failed to completely solve the problem in the process of implementing rectification, and even a new illegal low fence has reappeared. This not only destroys the ecological environment of the lake, but also affects the habitat of aquatic life.
The ban on fishing and the lack of protection of finless porpoises are in place
Poyang Lake is an important habitat for the Yangtze finless porpoise. However, although the relevant authorities have clarified the scope of the ban and protection measures, there are loopholes in the actual implementation, resulting in poor protection of the finless porpoise, and even the death of the finless porpoise. This problem exposes the blind spot of supervision and needs to be strengthened urgently.
Agricultural non-point source pollution is serious
Agricultural activities have a huge impact on the water quality of Poyang Lake. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides leads to eutrophication of water bodies, which in turn leads to ecological problems such as cyanobacteria outbreaks. Agricultural non-point source pollution has become one of the main challenges to the ecological and environmental protection of Poyang Lake.
In response to these problems, the inspection team made serious criticisms and said that it would further investigate and verify. The relevant departments of Jiangxi Province and the three cities along the lake need to intensify the protection of the ecological environment and do a good job in supervision and rectification.
Strengthen government regulation and legislation
Government departments play a key role in ecological and environmental protection. First of all, it is necessary to improve laws and regulations and strengthen legislation on ecological and environmental protection. The root cause of the repeated prohibition of illegal low enclosure behavior is the lack of legal deterrence and law enforcement. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the punishment and severely punish the violations.
Second, the government should strengthen supervision and establish a long-term regulatory mechanism. A combination of regular inspections and surprise inspections should be adopted to ensure that the rectification work is in place. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the ban on fishing and the protection of the finless porpoise, and clarify the division of responsibilities to ensure that every protection measure can be effectively implemented.
Participation and supervision of the public
Ecological and environmental protection is not only the responsibility of the government, but also the responsibility of every member of society. The general public should enhance their awareness of ecological environmental protection and actively participate in environmental protection actions.
1. Environmental education and publicity: The government and non-governmental organizations should strengthen environmental education, popularize environmental protection knowledge and raise public awareness of environmental protection through various forms such as media and community activities. Schools should also strengthen environmental education and cultivate students' awareness of environmental protection from an early age.
2. Public participation in environmental protection activities: Citizens can contribute to environmental protection by participating in voluntary activities such as afforestation, garbage cleanup, and environmental protection publicity. Especially in the area around Poyang Lake, residents should consciously reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, rationally use water resources, and jointly maintain water quality.
3. Public supervision and reporting: The public can report environmental violations through hotlines, online platforms and other channels, and supervise the environmental protection work of the government and enterprises. Public scrutiny not only motivates relevant departments to deal with environmental issues in a timely manner, but also raises environmental awareness in society as a whole.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Enterprises are the main body of economic development and an important force in environmental protection. Enterprises should take environmental protection measures in the process of production and operation to reduce environmental pollution.
1. Green production: Enterprises should adopt cleaner production technologies to reduce pollutant emissions. The wastewater, waste gas and solid waste generated in the production process should be treated scientifically to avoid secondary pollution to the environment.
2. Resource conservation: Enterprises should strengthen resource management, improve resource utilization efficiency, and reduce resource waste. Especially in the field of agriculture, water-saving irrigation, soil testing and formula fertilization technologies should be promoted to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and reduce agricultural non-point source pollution.
3. Ecological restoration: Enterprises should actively participate in ecological restoration. For example, companies can contribute to the ecological restoration of Poyang Lake by funding environmental protection projects and participating in ecological restoration projects.
Work together to build a beautiful China
The ecological and environmental protection of Poyang Lake is not only related to the ecological security of the lake area, but also to the ecological security of the Yangtze River basin and even the whole of China. Only through the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and the public can the ecological environment of Poyang Lake and its surrounding areas be continuously improved and protected.
The government should strengthen supervision and law enforcement, and strictly enforce laws and regulations on ecological and environmental protection. Enterprises should assume social responsibility, take environmental protection measures, reduce pollution, and actively participate in ecological restoration. The general public should enhance their awareness of environmental protection, actively participate in environmental protection actions, and jointly supervise and report environmental violations.
Let's work together to build a green home and leave a clean and beautiful environment for future generations. The protection of Poyang Lake is a long way to go, and requires the active participation and joint efforts of every member of society. Only in this way can we achieve the grand goal of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and building a beautiful China.
