General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that since the Party Central Committee elevated the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin to a national strategy, we have carried out a lot of work around solving the contradictions and problems existing in the Yellow River Basin, building the "four beams and eight pillars" of the protection and governance of the Yellow River, rectifying ecological and environmental problems, promoting ecological protection and restoration, improving the governance system, and making new progress in high-quality development.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period to promote the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, and the vast number of cadres and masses along the Yellow River said that they should conscientiously implement the spirit of the general secretary's important speech, unite the joint force of great protection, and resolutely implement the key tasks of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
In order to open this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping also came to Dongying, Shandong Province, to understand the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the footprints of the general secretary have spread throughout the 9 provinces and regions through which the Yellow River flows.
The Yellow River Delta is the most complete wetland ecosystem in China's warm temperate zone. Established in 1992, the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve covers an area of 1,530 square kilometers. In recent years, the local government has insisted on returning farmland to wetlands and returning nutrients to beaches, and carried out projects such as water system connectivity and wetland restoration. Since 2017, the wetland area of the reserve has grown by more than 180 square kilometers. The number of birds increased from 187 in 1992 to 371.
During the inspection and investigation, the general secretary also walked into the modern agricultural experimental demonstration base in saline-alkali land, and he encouraged everyone to strive to make breakthroughs in key core technologies and important innovation areas, and accelerate the transformation of scientific research results into real productivity. Thanks to the promotion and application of a series of agricultural technologies such as soil improvement and fertilization, alkali-tolerant plant germplasm cultivation, etc., the former wasteland has become a good field, and the main crops have achieved full coverage of fine seeds.
In the 1970s, the people of the original Yellow River flood storage area in Dongying City responded to the call of the state to relocate to live on the roof along the Huangda Causeway. Since 2013, Dongying City has carried out housing demolition and transformation in 66 Fangtai villages to build new communities. In the Yangmiao community, the general secretary came to the home of xu Fuhua, a resident, sat around and talked with them, and everyone showed the general secretary a photo of the old house in the past.
By May this year, Shandong had fully completed the task of relocating residents in the Yellow River beach area, and 600,000 people in the beach area had realized the "dream of living in peace". Next, the local government will also coordinate and promote the construction of industrial employment, public facilities and community service systems to ensure that the masses can move out, stabilize, develop and get rich.
