Related Research From The Ecological Laboratory Of The Second Institute Of Oceanology Of The Ministry Of Natural Resources Reveals The Evolution Pattern Of Plankton In Xiangshan Port Bay

Leave a comment , , , ,

The bay is one of the most important areas that hosts natural changes and human activities. Its environmental deterioration causes ecosystem degradation and resource decline, creating negative feedback to the social economy. As a typical subtropical bay ecosystem in China, Xiangshan Port in Zhejiang Province has unique topography, hydrodynamics and biological communities. Its ecosystem's response to human activities and natural changes is an important feedback to the bay spatial unit development pattern.

Recently, the offshore ecological research team of the Key Laboratory of Marine Ecosystem Dynamics of the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Second Institute of Oceanography used the Xiangshan Port, a narrow semi-enclosed bay in the East China Sea, as the research area to systematically reveal the effects of eutrophication and seawater warming under the combined effects of Evolving patterns of plankton in the bay. Relevant results have been published in mainstream international oceanography and planktonic ecology journals such as Marine Pollution Bulletin, Estuaries and Coasts, Estuaries, Coasts and Continental Shelves, and Plankton Research.

Schematic diagram of the historical evolution of the floating ecosystem in Xiangshan Port (drawn by Dong Han)

The study found that large amounts of phytoplankton biomass in eutrophic bays cannot be effectively transferred to higher trophic level organisms. Biomass refers to the total weight of a certain type of organisms per unit area (volume). Phytoplankton are primary producers that perform photosynthesis, and higher trophic level organisms are zooplankton and fish that prey on phytoplankton in the food chain.

According to researcher Jiang Zhibing, one of the main authors of the study, Xiangshan Port is a subtropical sea area with high productivity (that is, high phytoplankton biomass), and the proportion of larger individuals (micro, 2-20 microns; small, >20 microns) phytoplankton accounts for more than 80%, but the biomass and abundance of smaller individuals (picota, 505 microns) showed a downward trend, and fishery resources also declined significantly.

Through the simultaneous multi-parameter high-density sampling method and the random forest model, the research team found that the zooplankton biomass in Xiangshan Port will not increase as the phytoplankton biomass increases, and the ratio between the two decreases as the phytoplankton biomass increases, indicating that A large amount of phytoplankton energy cannot be efficiently transferred to higher trophic level organisms through the food chain. The study also found that zooplankton are most sensitive to warming. The increase in temperature promotes the increase of small individuals (small and medium-sized, 200~505 microns), while the number of larger individuals (>505 microns) decreases, that is, the overall trend of zooplankton is Miniaturization results in the inability of larger individual phytoplankton biomass to be transferred to higher trophic level organisms through zooplankton feeding.

At the same time, the study found that the long-term evolution of plankton in subtropical narrow bays shows spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity refers to the changes in biotic and abiotic environments over time and the uneven spatial distribution. Xiangshan Port is a subtropical narrow and semi-enclosed bay, with significant seasonal changes and spatial heterogeneity in the physical and chemical environment and biological communities. Based on this, the research team speculated that long-term changes in nutrients, water temperature, and plankton may also have spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and verified this hypothesis using historical data from 1980 to 2019 for nearly 40 years.

According to Associate Researcher Du Ping, one of the main authors of the study, the biomass of large and medium-sized zooplankton dropped rapidly after the operation of the power plant in 2005, mainly at the bottom and middle of the harbor in summer and autumn. This is the synchronization of inorganic nitrogen and water temperature. Significant increases in seasons and regions indicate that the combined effect of eutrophication and high temperature has significantly suppressed the biomass of large and medium-sized zooplankton. One of the important reasons is that the temperature at the outlet of the power plant in summer exceeds the lethal temperature of the dominant species (medium-sized copepods). , while the proportion of smaller brachyuran larvae and sword water fleas increased. The research team also found that in the port area, which is tens of kilometers away from the warm water drainage at the top and middle of the port, the changing trend of zooplankton is significantly different from that at the bottom and middle of the port, and there is no decline in the number; the port area is mainly affected by the seawater outside the port, and is affected by During the period when the Yangtze River diluted water was affected, the number of zooplankton even showed a significant upward trend, which was highly consistent with the change trend of zooplankton in the Yangtze River Estuary.

The research team combined physical and chemical factors and long-term changes and heterogeneous characteristics of organisms at each trophic level to deduce the evolution process of the bottom plankton ecosystem in Xiangshan Port: eutrophication and warming increased phytoplankton biomass, especially promoting the growth of larger individuals. Diatoms and dinoflagellates grow, but seawater warming is not conducive to the reproduction of larger zooplankton, resulting in a lack of effective feeding control of large-sized phytoplankton. At the same time, seawater warming in winter accelerates the growth of phytoplankton, and the feeding effect of zooplankton is weak during the same period. , causing algal blooms to intensify and advance the bloom time from spring to winter. The primary productivity generated by the flourishing of phytoplankton cannot be effectively transferred to zooplankton and fish at higher trophic levels, resulting in a reduction in the efficiency of the grazing food chain. Therefore, in addition to overfishing, changes in plankton particle size structure and phenological processes caused by eutrophication and intensified warming are also important reasons for the significant decline in fishery resources in Xiangshan Port compared with the 1980s. In addition, the relative importance of the microfood loop as a supplementary pathway for primary productivity transmission may be enhanced, and the impact of its changes on energy transfer efficiency remains to be studied.

The results of this study enrich the scientific understanding of bay ecology and suggest that bays with poor water exchange capabilities in inner bays need to strictly control the input of land-based nutrients and reduce cage culture and shrimp pond culture; at the same time, they must strictly control the temperature rise range of warm water discharged from power plants. , especially in the high temperature season. The concept of ecological civilization requires ecological restoration work to aim at improving the stability of the ecosystem and improving blue carbon sink efficiency and other ecological service functions. This study also provides scientific support for the ecological restoration of the bay and supports the cultivation of large economic algae (kelp, etc.) in the inner bay. and filter-feeding shellfish (oysters, etc.), bottom-sown clams, Philippine clams and other indigenous shellfish to reduce the nutrient concentration in the water body and reduce the occurrence of phytoplankton algae blooms.

How To Improve Ecological Carbon Sink Capacity By Planting Trees? ——Written On The International Day Of Forests

Leave a comment , , , ,

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 21st: How to improve ecological carbon sink capacity by planting trees? ——Written on the International Day of Forests

Xinhua News Agency reporter Hu Lu

March 21st is the International Day of Forests. This year's theme is Forests and Sustainable Production and Consumption, calling on people to protect forests, improve resource utilization, slow down environmental degradation and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.

Facing global crises and challenges such as climate change, mankind is a community with a shared future. Afforestation not only beautifies the environment, but also assumes an increasingly important mission.

Forests are the largest carbon storage and carbon absorbers on land and are related to climate change. Forest vegetation can absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through photosynthesis and play a huge carbon sink function. It has the characteristics of large carbon sink, low cost, and high ecological added value.

In response to climate change, my country has previously made commitments such as "strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060." By 2030, the forest stock volume will increase by 6 billion cubic meters compared with 2005. This is an important safeguard measure.

Over the years, our country has deeply promoted large-scale land greening operations. Data from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration shows that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has completed a total of 960 million acres of afforestation. The forest coverage rate increased by 2.68 percentage points, reaching 23.04%; the forest stock volume increased by 3.839 billion cubic meters, reaching 17.56 billion cubic meters; the total carbon storage of forest vegetation increased by 1.375 billion tons, reaching 9.2 billion tons.

Against the background of the continued decline of global forest resources, my country's forest area and stock volume have continued to increase, becoming the country with the largest increase in forest resources in the world.

Emphasize quantity as well as quality. In recent years, various regions have actively implemented precise forest quality improvement projects, completing an average of 124 million acres of forest care annually, and the quality, stability and carbon sink capacity of forest ecosystems have steadily improved.

"Promoting high-quality afforestation, greening the land, and protecting forests and grasslands are adding to the ecological carbon sink capacity and contributing to the global response to climate change." said Zhang Mingxiang, a professor at the School of Ecology and Nature Conservation at Beijing Forestry University.

Although my country's land greening has achieved remarkable results in recent years, it should also be noted that our country is still a country lacking forests and greenery, with a fragile ecology and a shortage of ecological products. The problem of unbalanced and inadequate land greening still exists, which is in line with the people's desire for a beautiful ecological environment. There is still a big gap compared with the demand.

How will we promote land greening and continue to improve ecological carbon sink capabilities in the future? The relevant person in charge of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration said that this goal will be achieved through five measures:

——Promote the construction of a natural protected area system with national parks as the main body, carry out voluntary tree planting for all people, build national reserve forests, and increase greening and exchange rates through various forms. This year, the country plans to plant 96.06 million acres of trees and grass, including 50.06 million acres of afforestation.

——Implementing precise forest quality improvement projects and promoting forest management models aimed at enhancing carbon sequestration capabilities. Strengthen the care of young and medium-sized forests and the restoration of degraded forests, increase the transformation of artificial forests, advocate multi-functional forest management, and continue to improve the quality and stability of forest ecosystems.

– Comprehensively protect forests, grasslands, peat wetlands and sandy area vegetation, strengthen forest and grassland fire prevention and pest control, severely crack down on illegal activities that damage forest and grass resources, and reduce carbon emissions caused by deforestation, grassland destruction and land desertification.

——Carry out the cultivation and transformation of energy forests, strengthen scientific and technological research, support leading enterprises, and promote the development of forestry biomass energy. Targeted cultivation and utilization of high-quality wood and bamboo resources, improving the quality and stability of wood and bamboo materials, and expanding the application of wood and bamboo in the construction field.

——Improve the forest and grass carbon sink measurement and monitoring system, actively participate in the national carbon emissions trading, explore the establishment of a voluntary emission reduction trading system for forest and grass carbon sinks, and accelerate the promotion of forest and grass carbon sink trading.

The Newly Revised Forest Law Is An Important Guarantee For Forest Management

Leave a comment , , , ,

The "Forest Law of the People's Republic of China" was revised and adopted by the 15th Session of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress on December 28, 2019, and will come into effect on July 1, 2020.

Forest management is a main thread running through the revision of the Forest Law and has been strengthened as a key content. This plays a decisive role in further strengthening forest management, improving forest quality, and promoting high-quality development of forestry.

1. Forest management practices require legal responses

As a proprietary concept in forestry, forest management is aimed at improving forest quality and establishing a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem, and is carried out to repair and enhance the supply, regulation, service, support and other functions of the forest. A series of activities that protect and nurture forests throughout their growth cycle.

There are four key points in modern forest management principles:

First, the purpose of forest management is to cultivate a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem. A stable and healthy forest ecosystem has a reasonable structure. If the actual forest stand has not reached it, human measures need to be supplemented to promote the forest to reach the ideal state as soon as possible. This is forest management activity.

Second, the principle of forest management is to simulate the natural processes of forest stands. The basic laws of forest growth and development are continuous coverage (maintaining the forest environment forever), survival of the fittest, and natural renewal. Forest management should simulate this process. Simulation is not copying. According to the actual forest situation, taking the development process of the zonal top community as a reference, with relatively small interference, either supplement the target trees or remove the interference trees, use more resources on the cultivation of the target trees, and accelerate the growth of the group. development process and promote forest health, shortening the tree cultivation cycle.

Third, forest management runs through the entire forest life cycle. The full life cycle of a forest of the same age includes seedlings, saplings, young forest, middle-aged forest, near-mature forest, mature forest and over-mature forest. The full life cycle of a forest of different ages includes the establishment stage, competitive growth stage, Quality selection stage, near-natural forest stage, natural continuous forest stage and other stages. Taking different management measures for each stage constitutes the forest management cycle.

Fourth, forest management must be implemented in accordance with the forest management plan (plan, plan). The long-term nature of the forest life cycle and the diversity of forest types determine the long-term, systematic and complex nature of forest management activities. There are characteristics that cannot afford mistakes and regrets. Forest management plans (programs) must be prepared and coordinated Planning and pre-deployment.

However, for quite some time, due to limitations of the level of understanding and development stage, the focus of my country's forest management work has deviated. This is mainly reflected in the following: First, the pursuit of short-term and fast results, serious short-term behavior in forest management, and difficulty in continuously improving the quality of forest resources. The second is to equate forest management with general business management, with the goal mainly focusing on the harvesting and utilization of forest resources, while neglecting the cultivation of forest ecosystems. Third, artificial afforestation has a single tree species and structure, neglecting the use of native tree species and the creation of mixed forests. Fourth, the imperfect forest classification management system is difficult to meet society’s needs for the multiple functions of forests. Fifth, there is a lack of systematic forest management planning, and the forest management plan system is incomplete. Sixth, there is a lack of the concept of full-cycle management, and forest management is one-sidedly understood as logging. Seventh, the relationship between protection, management and utilization is too simplistic. When it comes to protection, all management and utilization activities are prohibited; when it comes to management and utilization, it will lead to excessive exploitation of resources.

Since 2008, forest management has become a major theme of forestry work. The country has adopted a series of policies and measures to solve forest management problems. Forest management has begun to get on the right track, but there is still a lack of overall understanding and conceptual change at the social level. Important reasons It just hasn’t been solidified at the legal level. Now, the forestry industry has entered the stage of high-quality green development. Improving forest quality and enhancing forest ecological functions are important goals at this stage. Forest management is an important starting point to achieve the goals at this stage.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide legal answers to some key issues that restrict forest management. This revision of the Forest Law is based on a scientific and realistic spirit, is based on the development stage of my country's forestry, follows the principles of modern forest management, fully absorbs the opinions and suggestions from all walks of life on forest management, and makes legal provisions for forest management. It has played a leading role in clarifying understandings, changing concepts, straightening out ideas, improving systems, and standardizing practices.

2. The content of forest management is reflected in seven aspects of the revised law

The newly revised Forest Law has made major structural adjustments. Chapter 7 of the 1998 Forest Law has been expanded to Chapter 9, and the articles have been increased from 49 to 84. The content of forest management is mainly reflected in 7 aspects, involving 6 chapters and 16 articles.

1. General principles of forest management

Regarding the principles of forest management, Article 3 of the General Provisions stipulates that “the protection, cultivation, and utilization of forest resources must respect nature and comply with nature, and adhere to the principles of ecological priority, protection priority, conservation integration, and sustainable development.” This is the principle of forestry management activities, and it is also the principle of forest management.

Respecting nature, complying with nature and protecting nature are important contents of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and one of the principles of modern forest management principles. This principle is that forest management must respect and simulate the natural development laws of the forest. These laws are divided into individual and group (forest) development laws according to objects, development laws among forests of the same age and forests of different ages according to age structure, and development laws according to development stages. There are development rules for seedlings, saplings, young forests, middle-aged forests, near-mature mature forests and over-mature forests. There are rules for tree adaptation to the right site, rules for energy and material exchange and accumulation, rules for inter-specific interactions, rules for morphological growth, and rules for structure. Laws of composition, competition (natural sparseness), yield formation, natural renewal and community succession, etc. These laws are the basic rules for forest management.

Combining conservation means using scientific means to restore degraded forest ecosystems while strictly protecting them. Forest ecosystem protection includes two aspects: forestland protection and above-ground forest resource protection. The protection strategies for these two aspects of resources are different. Forest land protection is mainly about protecting forest resources from destruction and degradation. In addition to protecting above-ground forest resources from destruction and degradation, what is more important is management and cultivation, that is, through scientific cultivation measures, promoting the growth of forest resources and shortening the time of forest resources. The nurturing cycle, this is conservation. Therefore, conservation is active protection. Only by changing passive protection to active management and conservation and improving forest quality can we protect forests at a higher level.

Sustainable development is development that not only meets the development needs of the present generation, but also retains the potential for continued development for future generations. In other words, it is the coordinated development of economy, society, resources and environmental protection. It is an important content of the new development concept. Forestry plays an important role in implementing sustainable development strategies, and sustainable forest management is a practical path to achieve sustainable forestry development.

2. The overall goal of forest management

Regarding the overall goal of forest management, Article 6 of the General Provisions stipulates: The state aims to cultivate a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem. This goal is the overall goal of forestry management activities, and it is also the overall goal of forest management. It is also one of the key points of modern forest management principles. Forest is an ecosystem, and only a good ecosystem can perform complete ecological, economic and social functions. A stable and healthy forest ecosystem that can be naturally regenerated must have a reasonable structure, which includes tree species composition, stand density, diameter and tree height structure, underwood and herb layer structure, soil structure, etc. In reality, forest stands have not reached such a structure, and some artificial measures need to be assisted to promote the forest to reach the ideal state as soon as possible. These are forest management measures. Different forest conditions require different management measures. This regulation reflects the change in forest management thinking, completely transforming forest management from simply obtaining wood to cultivating a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem.

3.Afforestation

Afforestation is an important part of forest management and has been included in separate chapters in previous Forest Laws. This time is no exception, but the name has been changed from "afforestation" to "afforestation". The revision of this part highlights the ideas of changing afforestation ideas and strengthening forest ecosystem restoration.

Article 45 stipulates, “People’s governments at all levels organizing afforestation and greening shall scientifically plan and adapt to local conditions, optimize forest species and tree species structure, encourage the use of native tree species and improved forest species, create mixed forests, and improve the quality of afforestation and greening.” The core themes here are to clarify new tasks, protect the original ecology, and pay attention to the quality of afforestation. The key words are optimizing forest species and tree species structure, using native tree species and improved forest species, and creating mixed forests.

Optimizing forest species and tree species structure is determined based on the development stage of afforestation and greening in my country. In the more than 20 years since the last forest law was promulgated, our country has made great achievements in afforestation and greening. Forest vegetation has been restored on a large scale. The goals of building and greening have been gradually realized. The main task of afforestation has changed from quantitative expansion to Quality improvement means optimizing forest species and tree species structure, accelerating forest growth, improving forest productivity, and enhancing forest ecological functions. The National Forestry and Grassland Administration has launched a project plan to accurately improve forest quality. The main goal is to accurately improve forest quality, enhance ecological functions and supply high-quality ecological products.

The use of native tree species and improved forest species is the basis for building a high-quality forest ecosystem. Native tree species refer to tree species that are native to the local area and have undergone long-term natural selection. They can still grow robustly despite a series of natural disasters such as extreme local climate conditions, attacks by diseases and insect pests, etc. For some time, due to my country's pursuit of short-term and fast development of forestry and eagerness for ecological restoration, a large number of exotic fast-growing tree species have been used, focusing on "foreign" rather than "earth", and neglecting the cultivation and application of native tree species. As the biological hazards caused by exotic tree species increase and problems such as later shortages intensify, people gradually realize the importance of native tree species. At present, native tree species have become the first choice for afforestation in my country. On the other hand, paying attention to the use of native tree species is also a reflection of the idea of ​​protecting the original ecology.

The establishment of mixed forests is determined based on my country's experience and lessons from afforestation over the years and the results of scientific research. The so-called mixed forest is a forest composed of two or more tree species. Scientific research shows that mixed forests have the advantages of high biodiversity, full utilization of space and nutrient area, better protection benefits, enhanced ability to resist natural disasters, improved site conditions, and increased quantity and quality of forest products. However, for a long time, my country's artificial afforestation has been dominated by pure forests. There are sayings of "Larch in the Northeast, Yangjiabang in the North, and Shajiabang in the South", which highlights the problem of "unity leading to vulnerability", which is manifested in the decline of biodiversity. , low forest productivity, declining soil fertility, reduced soil and water conservation capabilities, and vulnerability to disease and insect pest outbreaks. In recent years, people have gradually realized this problem. In afforestation and tending management, they have attached great importance to the construction of mixed forests of different ages and carried out near-natural mixed transformation of artificial pure forests, which has achieved positive results.

Regarding strengthening the restoration of forest ecosystems, Article 46 stipulates the overall requirements for restoration, that is, "People's governments at all levels should take measures to scientifically protect and restore forest ecosystems by focusing on natural restoration and combining natural restoration with artificial restoration." . There are two important ideas here. First, it clarifies the relationship between natural restoration and artificial restoration. Forest ecosystem restoration must adhere to both natural restoration and artificial restoration. Priority must be given to the use of natural forces for restoration. Under conditions lacking natural recovery capabilities, such as desertification areas, arid areas, stony mountainous areas and other difficult site conditions, in order to restore forest vegetation, artificial afforestation must be adopted, and some even require Only engineering afforestation can be successful, which is in line with the scientific concept of natural ecological restoration based on local conditions and seeking truth from facts. Second, it is clear that the object of restoration is the forest ecosystem, not individual trees and single functions. Through restoration, the overall function of the forest ecosystem should be improved and optimized. This is exactly the shortcoming of past understanding.

After clarifying the overall requirements for forest ecosystem restoration, the following two paragraphs further clarified the objects and tasks of restoration, including cultivated land that needs ecological restoration such as sloping farmland, severely desertified farmland, severely rocky desertified farmland, and severely polluted farmland. Implement planned conversion of farmland to forest and grassland, and implement forest ecological restoration projects according to local conditions to restore vegetation on abandoned and damaged mountains, degraded woodlands, and barren mountains and wastelands suitable for forestation caused by natural factors. These will be the main battlefields for forest ecosystem restoration in my country in the future.

4. Forest classified management

Regarding classified management, the new "Forest Law" has made a series of provisions, including basic systems, principles, delineated objects, management strategies, etc., which are reflected in six articles.

First of all, Article 6 of the General Provisions clarifies that “the state aims to cultivate a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem, implement classified management of public welfare forests and commercial forests, highlight the leading functions, and perform multiple functions.” System, this is the first time that classified management as a basic legal system has been written into the Forest Law.

Secondly, the classification principles are clarified. Article 47 stipulates, “Based on the needs of ecological protection, the state shall delineate forest lands and forests on forest lands with important ecological locations or fragile ecological conditions and with the main purpose of exerting ecological benefits as public welfare forests. Those that are not designated as public welfare forests shall The forest land and the forest on the forest land belong to commercial forest."

Thirdly, Article 48 clarifies the delineation objects of public welfare forests, and Article 50 stipulates the types of commercial forests that are encouraged to be developed.

Finally, the business strategy was clarified. Article 49 stipulates that “the state implements strict protection for public welfare forests” and “for low-quality and low-efficiency forests such as sparse forests and residual forests with low ecological functions in public welfare forests, measures such as stand transformation and forest tending shall be adopted to improve public welfare forests.” Forest quality and ecological protection function." Article 51 stipulates, "Commercial forests are managed independently by forestry operators in accordance with the law. On the premise of not destroying the ecology, intensive management measures can be adopted to rationally utilize forests, trees, and woodlands to improve the economic benefits of commercial forests."

Forest classification management comes from the idea of ​​division of labor in forestry, which was formed in the United States in the late 1970s. Its core idea is to allocate a small amount of land in the country to develop industrial plantations, which are responsible for most of the production of commercial timber, called "commercial forests"; secondly, allocate a "public welfare forest", including urban forests, landscape forests, and natural protection forests. areas, soil and water conservation forests, etc. to improve the ecological environment; and then set aside a "multi-functional forest". Based on the forestry division of labor theory, two forestry development models have been derived, namely the French model and the Australian and New Zealand model. France divides state-owned forests into three major modules, namely timber cultivation, public welfare forests and multi-functional forests; the Australian and New Zealand models implement classified management of natural forests and artificial forests, that is, natural forests mainly play an ecological and environmental role, while artificial forests Mainly to exert economic benefits. In North America, a three-category forest model is adopted, which divides forest areas into three areas, namely protected areas, ecosystem management areas and timber production areas. Each area is given special management and management purposes. Based on this idea, my country has implemented a new classification management system based on the original five major forest species since 1999, which divides forests into public welfare forests and commercial forests. Public welfare forests refer to forests whose main purpose is to exert ecological functions such as forest ecological benefits, including protective forests and special-purpose forests. Commercial forests refer to forests whose main purpose is to produce timber and other forest products, including timber forests, economic forests and energy forests.

The series of provisions on classified management in the new "Forest Law" absorb the world's advanced forestry management ideas and my country's practical application results, legally clarify the forest classified management system, convey the strict protection and conservation of public welfare forests, and commercialize The concept of independent forest management, intensive management and modern forest classification management taking into account ecology.

5. Forest management planning and programs

Paying attention to the role of forest management plans (plans, programs) is one of the key points of modern forest management principles. In this revision, strengthening the role of forest management planning and forest management plans has become a highlight.

First of all, it emphasizes planning and leadership, further specifying the relevant content of the original "Forest Law" on long-term forestry planning, and integrating development planning with special planning. It is clarified that people's governments at or above the county level should incorporate forest resource protection and forestry development into national economic and social development plans. Article 26 clearly requires that “the forestry authorities of the people’s governments at or above the county level may prepare special plans related to forest land protection and utilization, afforestation and greening, forest management, and natural forest protection based on local realities.” In recent years, with the scientificization and standardization of forestry management, the preparation of these special plans has been promoted in practice, playing an important role in forestry development and management. For example, the National Forest Management Plan (2016-2050) has been issued, and the establishment of a three-level planning system at the national, provincial and county levels is being accelerated. This time, mature practical results have been absorbed and fixed in the form of legal provisions, which is of great significance for the comprehensive implementation of forest management according to law, forest management according to regulations, and the avoidance of short-term operating behaviors.

Secondly, it fundamentally strengthens the legal status of forest management plans. Article 53 of the new "Forest Law" stipulates that "state-owned forestry enterprises and institutions shall prepare forest management plans and clarify management measures for forest cultivation and management" and "the state supports and guides other forestry operators to prepare forest management plans." From a literal point of view, this provision has not changed much from the previous version of the Forest Law. The only difference is that the “nature reserve” has been removed from units that should prepare forest management plans. This does not mean that the nature reserve does not need to prepare a forest management plan, because the nature reserve is already under the management of the forestry department and can be understood as a type of forestry institution, and it should also prepare a forest management plan. However, since the nature reserve mainly implements strict protection and involves very few management activities such as afforestation, tending, main cutting, artificial regeneration, etc., it has compiled a forest management plan focusing on biodiversity and habitats of rare and endangered wild animals and plants. An important change regarding the content of the forest management plan is in Chapter 8 Legal Responsibilities. Article 72 stipulates, “If, in violation of the provisions of this Law, state-owned forestry enterprises and institutions fail to fulfill their obligations to protect and cultivate forest resources, fail to prepare a forest management plan, or fail to carry out forest management activities in accordance with the approved forest management plan, they shall be prosecuted by the people at or above the county level. The government forestry department ordered the company to make corrections within a time limit, and the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel were punished in accordance with the law." This is a new addition. In the previous version of the Forest Law, the forest management plan system has been written in, which means that its legal status has been clarified. However, due to the lack of supporting supervision, inspection and punishment provisions, the forest management plan system has not been well received. For good implementation, it is very common that things should be prepared but not implemented, and that things are prepared but not implemented. The promulgation of this provision in the new law echoes Article 53, which puts forward higher requirements for the preparation and implementation of forest management plans, fundamentally strengthens the legal status of forest management plans, and is important for the establishment of forest management plans as the basis for forest management plans. The construction of the core forest management system and the implementation of sustainable forest management will play an important role.

6. Deforestation

Deforestation is a key activity in forest conservation and management. Therefore, in the previous Forest Law, it was a separate chapter, but this revision merges it with forest management, which is an important change in understanding. For a long time, there has been a certain deviation in the knowledge and understanding of forest logging. It is mainly regarded as a means of forest utilization and consumption of forest resources, and is strictly managed. What's more, logging is equated with destruction. In fact, as far as forest logging itself is concerned, it will not directly cause the destruction of forest resources. It is not only a means of forest utilization, but more importantly, it is an important management measure to regulate forest structure, promote forest growth and positive succession. The reason why forest resources are destroyed is due to our long-term over-exploitation for the purpose of timber production. This time it is incorporated into forest management as a forest management measure, which is an important change in understanding.

Regarding the requirements that should be followed when logging forests and trees, the new Forest Law further specifies regulations on the basis of classified management. Article 55 stipulates that public welfare forests can only be harvested for tending, regeneration and transformation of low-quality and low-efficiency forests. However, except for those that need to be felled for scientific research or experiments, prevention and control of forest pests, construction of forest protection and fire prevention facilities, creation of biological fire prevention isolation zones, natural disasters, etc.; commercial forests should adopt different harvesting methods according to different situations, and strictly control the clear-cut area. Synchronous planning and implementation of felling and cultivation; felling of trees in nature reserves is prohibited. However, bamboo forests that must be harvested due to special circumstances such as preventing and controlling forest pests, preventing forest fires, maintaining the living environment of the main protected objects, suffering from natural disasters, and in experimental areas are excluded. The highlights here are two "exceptions". The first "exception" is that those who need to cut down public welfare forests for scientific research or experiments, prevention and control of forest pests, construction of forest protection and fire prevention facilities, creation of biological fire prevention isolation zones, natural disasters, etc. are not exempted from the restriction and can only carry out tending, renewal and low-quality forest management. The restrictions on logging for low-efficiency forest transformation are that main logging can be carried out; the second "exception" is that trees in nature reserves must be logged due to special circumstances such as preventing and controlling forest pests, forest fire prevention, maintaining the living environment of main protected objects, and suffering natural disasters. And the bamboo forests in the experimental areas of the logging nature reserves are not subject to the ban on logging. These two "exclusions" were not included in the previous version of the Forest Law. Therefore, some necessary and scientific forest management activities and scientific research experiments cannot be carried out. There have been high calls for revision. This revision solves this problem. question.

7. Natural forest protection

Article 32 stipulates, "The state implements a comprehensive protection system for natural forests, strictly limits natural forest logging, strengthens the capacity building of natural forest management and protection, protects and restores natural forest resources, and gradually improves the ecological functions of natural forests. Specific measures shall be prescribed by the State Council." . This is a new provision.

In 1998, the Party Central Committee and the State Council decided to implement natural forest resource protection projects in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, and key state-owned forest areas in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, efforts to protect natural forests have been further intensified and commercial logging of natural forests has been completely stopped. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly called for “improving the natural forest protection system.” In 2019, the "Natural Forest Protection and Restoration System Plan" issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council made a systematic and comprehensive deployment of natural forest protection.

The content of this article is the provisions made for the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee. There are two important changes here: First, after the comprehensive protection system for natural forests was introduced, it all mentioned "stopping commercial logging of natural forests." However, this formulation was not used here, but "strictly restricting natural forests." Harvesting”. In contrast, the new formulation is more rigorous and scientific. Because it is difficult to give a rigorous and accurate definition of what "commercial logging" is. In addition, we have already mentioned that there are two "except" situations. If the old formulation is used, there will be a contradiction. The second is the mention of "protecting and restoring natural forest resources." As mentioned above, artificial restoration is a forest management activity, so a concept is conveyed here that natural forests also need to be managed, which is in line with the principles of modern forest management. , is the embodiment of returning to science. Of course, the restoration or management of natural forests must not only follow the principles of modern forest management, but also adapt to the actual situation of my country’s forestry development stage, comply with the relevant regulations on natural forest protection at this stage, and make it a scientific method that is in line with my country’s national conditions and forest conditions. Lift.

3. Promote the construction of supporting systems to ensure implementation

The new "Forest Law" will come into effect on July 1, 2020. The State Forestry and Grassland Administration has issued a notice on the implementation of the newly revised "Forest Law", making comprehensive efforts to implement the new law in a solid and orderly manner. deploy. Forest management is a main line in the revision of the Forest Law. There are many new ideas and new requirements. More work needs to be done in terms of learning and understanding the spirit and the construction of supporting systems to ensure correct implementation.

In November 2019, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Forest Management", which provides the guiding ideology, basic principles, overall goals, main tasks and safeguard measures for forest management in the future period (2020-2035). A comprehensive deployment has been made. Since the formulation of the "Opinions" and the revision of the "Forest Law" happened to be carried out at the same time, the guiding ideology, basic principles, and overall goals are completely consistent with the provisions of the "Forest Law". The main task proposed is to revise the forest provisions in the "Forest Law" Implementation of business content. The "Opinions" proposed a docking plan for forest classification management practices: forest management work should be carried out in accordance with the classification results of public welfare forests and commercial forests. In principle, no forest management activities are carried out in first-level national public welfare forests. General timber forests among second-level national public welfare forests, local public welfare forests and commercial forests are subject to multi-objective management in accordance with the principle of highlighting leading functions. For commercial forests such as fast-growing and high-yielding forests and short-rotation timber forests, we must adhere to market leadership while taking into account ecological and environmental constraints and carry out independent operations. This is a further refinement of the classification management system of the "Forest Law", realizing the connection with the classification system determined by the "National Forest Management Plan (2016-2050)", and providing an operable basis for forest management practice.

This revision of the "Forest Law" is an important measure for the construction of the forestry legal system in the era of ecological civilization in my country. It is important for the in-depth implementation of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, the practice of the concept that clear waters and lush mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, and the comprehensive promotion of the forestry governance system and It is of great significance to modernize governance capabilities and achieve high-quality development of forestry and grassland undertakings. Forest management is an important means to improve forest quality and establish a healthy, stable and efficient forest ecosystem. It is a fundamental measure to implement "strive to improve forest quality" and an inevitable requirement to promote sustainable development. This strengthening of forest management-related content is of epoch-making significance and will play an important role in promoting the high-quality development of forestry and grassland undertakings.

Recently, the 2021-2022 Annual Meeting of the Forest Park and Forest Tourism Branch of the Chinese Forestry Society was held in Aershan, Inner Mongolia. An academic seminar on the high-quality development of forest parks and forest tourism under the "double carbon" goal was held at the same time.

In 1982, my country's first national forest park was established. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the development of the forest park industry. After 40 years of steady and rapid development, the forest park industry has become more actively and deeply integrated into the overall economic and social development of our country and the overall development of national forest and grassland, paying more attention to openness and integrated development, and is ushering in new development opportunities.

At this seminar, experts focused on exploring forest parks and forest tourism from different perspectives such as the 40-year development history of my country's forest parks and forest tourism, the contribution of forest carbon sink capabilities, the construction of a natural protected area system with national parks as the main body, and forest health care. A new path and new model for the high-quality development of forest tourism, and explore the new connotation of the diverse and coordinated development of forest parks and forest tourism in the new era.

40 years of development and extraordinary achievements

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was established in 1982, marking the beginning of the development of forest parks and forest tourism in my country. In the 40 years since its establishment, the park has received a total of 65.5 million tourists, achieved total tourism revenue of 204.8 billion yuan, and provided social employment for nearly 300,000 people.

The report "From "Timber Forestry" to "Leisure Forestry" by Professor Lan Siren of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University focuses on the development process of forest parks and forest tourism, from the initial stage (1982-1990), the exploration stage (1991-2000), and the rapid development stage There are four stages (2001-2010) and improvement stage (2011-2020), briefly summarizing the distinctive characteristics and development achievements of industrial development in different periods.

Developing forest tourism, strengthening the tertiary industry, and cultivating new economic growth points have changed the passive situation in the past where state-owned forest farms could only rely on financial allocations to survive.

In the rapid development stage, the whole society attaches great importance to forest tourism to an unprecedented level, various investments continue to increase, the number of parks grows rapidly, the forest tourism market gradually matures, and a coordinated development system of forest tourism is basically formed.

In the upgrade stage of forest tourism, brand building, standardized management, and service optimization are on the agenda. Relevant laws and regulations are becoming more complete and sound. Forest health care has begun to flourish. The nature reserve attribute of the forest park has been basically established. "Entering the 'protection' and ' Tourism' new stage of coordinated development".

“The reform of state-owned forest farms completed in 2019 has established a public financial support mechanism and solved the survival problems that have plagued forest farms for many years. The forest park has been freed from the survival pressure of state-owned forest farms and has objectively moved towards the development of social public undertakings. This is a crucial step." Lan Siren said.

He believes that the 40 years of forest parks and forest tourism reflect the development process from "timber forestry" to ecological forestry, leisure forestry and multi-functional forestry. Forest tourism has also shifted from ancillary functions of forestry to an important component of the forestry industry. The grassroots industry is a pillar industry, and its social influence and industry status are increasing day by day.

When summarizing the basic experience of 40 years of development, Lan Siren believes that: giving priority to protection is the basis of development, changing concepts is the "master switch", adapting to the market is the driving force, and innovative mechanisms are the key.

Nowadays, forest parks are no longer just oriented towards economic development. Forest tourism is also moving towards higher-quality businesses such as forest health care. The forest park industry is moving towards functional diversification.

Facilitate the implementation of the “dual carbon” strategy

The high-quality development of forest parks and forest tourism under the "double carbon" goal is the theme of this seminar.

Our country has proposed that carbon dioxide emissions strive to peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The proposal of the "double carbon" goal demonstrates my country's firm determination to actively respond to global climate change and pursue a green and low-carbon development path.

Carbon neutrality means offsetting carbon dioxide emissions generated during human activities through energy conservation, emission reduction, afforestation and other means.

Forests are the main body of terrestrial ecosystems. Forest plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix it in vegetation and soil through photosynthesis. They are the largest carbon pool in the earth's terrestrial ecosystems.

Yin Weilun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a report on "The Role of Forest Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Trade in the "Dual Carbon" Strategy" focusing on my country's forest carbon sequestration capabilities. He pointed out that attracting and storing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more effectively and permanently can be achieved through afforestation, strengthening forest management, reducing deforestation, protecting and restoring forest vegetation.

In fact, my country's forest carbon reserves have been growing steadily. The results of the seventh, eighth, and ninth national forest resource inventories show that the total carbon reserves of forest vegetation nationwide are 7.811 billion tons, 8.427 billion tons, and 9.186 billion tons, respectively.

"Relevant studies show that from 2001 to 2010, my country's terrestrial ecosystems sequestered 201 million tons of carbon annually on average, which is equivalent to offsetting 14.1% of China's fossil fuel carbon emissions during the same period. Among them, forest ecosystems are the main body of carbon sequestration, contributing approximately 80% of carbon sequestration." Yin Weilun said.

Therefore, to implement the "dual carbon" strategy, in addition to taking industrial measures such as changing the energy structure and improving emission reduction technologies, ensuring and improving the carbon sequestration capacity of forest vegetation plays a key role in achieving carbon neutrality under conditions where it is difficult to achieve zero emissions.

"Forests are the main body of terrestrial ecosystems. Forests are the main force of carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems. Improving forest quality is the fundamental measure to improve forest carbon sequestration capabilities. Forest management has entered the era of carbon sink ecological products." Yin Weilun said in concluding remarks.

As an important part of the terrestrial ecosystem, how can forest parks and forest tourist attractions help achieve the "double carbon" goal? Yang Chao, Chairman of the China Green Carbon Foundation, pointed out in his speech at the opening ceremony: First, vigorously implement the concept of green development and integrate low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and waste-free concepts into the construction of forest parks and forest tourist attractions; second, strengthen the forest in the park Management, thereby improving forest quality and ecosystem quality, and improving forest carbon sink capacity.

To help implement the “double carbon” strategy, forest parks and forest tourist attractions have great potential.

New actions for nature reserves

Forest Park is a tourist destination and a nature reserve.

In June 2019, the "Guiding Opinions on Establishing a Natural Reserve System with National Parks as the Main Body" was officially issued. The opinion divides natural protected areas into three categories: national parks, nature reserves and natural parks based on ecological value and protection intensity based on the authenticity, integrity, systematicness and inherent laws of the natural ecosystem. Forest parks belong to the natural Park category.

How to carry out ecotourism in nature reserves? In this regard, Zhong Yongde, a professor at the School of Tourism at Central South University of Forestry and Technology, raised four questions in the report "Policy Reflections on Ecotourism in Nature Reserves": Is ecological compensation enough? How many tourists is too many? How much are tickets expensive? What to do about historical issues?

Protection, development and utilization have actually always been a hot topic of widespread concern. When analyzing "how many tourists are too many", Zhong Yongde asked: Does ecotourism exclude large-scale reception facilities? Does ecotourism have to be small-scale?

He pointed out that there are many visitors to national parks in the United States, with nearly 300 million people visiting each year. In the report, he also cited some relevant report materials: Chinese people have begun to like U.S. national parks. In 2016, 7% of U.S. national park visitors came from China, making it the most visited region in the Asia-Pacific region; at the same time, Chinese tourists visited U.S. national parks on average. For every US$1 spent, US$85 will be spent outside the national park, while for other international tourists, US$1 will be spent within the park and US$50 outside the park.

It can be seen that ecotourism has provided significant support for the development of national parks in the United States.

"The experience of the U.S. National Park Service is general relaxation, local control, and enhanced monitoring. It is estimated that there will be no need to limit the number of people entering the park in the next 10 years. At the same time, in order to protect specific natural resources, some areas in the park will For example, it is absolutely necessary to set a daily number limit for wilderness trails that can be used by backpackers and whitewater rafting that involves both safety and environment." Zhong Yongde said.

In concluding his speech, Zhong Yongde pointed out: Eco-tourism is the best way to utilize nature reserves. Simple entry restrictions and scale control are not real eco-tourism. Sustainable management is the key to eco-tourism in nature reserves. Natural resources truly serve every citizen.

Looking at future development from the perspective of nature reserves, the public is looking forward to new developments in forest parks and forest tourism.

Scientific development of forest health care

There is no doubt that forest health care is an important direction for the high-quality development of forest parks.

In 2019, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Health Commission, and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Forest Health Care Industry", proposing to build 300 national forest health care bases by 2022, and by 2035 Build 1,200 sites to provide multi-level, multi-category and high-quality forest health care services to the society to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life.

Forest health care is based on the forest ecological environment and aims to promote public health. It uses forest ecological resources, landscape resources, food and medicine resources and cultural resources, and organically integrates it with medicine and health science to carry out health care, rehabilitation and health care. Elderly care service activities.

"Forest health care is not forest tourism in the general sense, but a high-end product based on the health functions of the forest environment and meeting people's new needs. Conceptual hype and development that lack scientific and technological support are difficult to last, and are inconsistent with consumer needs and expectations. Match." said Wang Hongjun, a professor at the School of Forestry, Beihua University.

The status quo of forest protection_The status quo and countermeasures of forest resource protection in China_Forest Current status of resource protection

He proposed that the construction of forest health care bases, site design, curriculum planning, forest health care teacher training, effect evaluation, etc. all need scientific research support. In actual operations, consumer groups must be distinguished, types and characteristics must be clarified, and forest health care should be established in a targeted manner. Nutrition industry service system.

Conceptual enthusiasm, insufficient theoretical research, lack of industry standards, etc. indicate that forest health care is very weak.

How are the forest wellness experiences different with different plant species, different time periods, different regions, etc.? What is the difference in effect? How to plan forest health and wellness functional zoning? How to carry out forest health care activities more scientifically and accurately?

Wang Hongjun suggested carrying out research on the dynamic changes of forest health care factors and making forecasts. The report "Dynamic Characteristics and Suitability Evaluation of Forest Health Elements in Lushan Mountain" by Liu Yuanqiu, a professor at the Forestry College of Jiangxi Agricultural University, is the latest research result in this field.

In the report, Liu Yuanqiu and his team selected the main indicators of forest health care such as airborne particulate matter, air negative oxygen ions, oxygen content, and plant volatiles. Others also include air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. On this basis, a comprehensive human body comfort index is formed to provide reliable and quantitative scientific basis for carrying out forest health and wellness activities.

She introduced that in Lushan, the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air is high in the morning and evening, and low at noon and afternoon in spring, autumn and winter. In summer, it is high in the morning and morning, and low at noon and afternoon. From an altitude perspective, the concentration is above 500 meters and below 500 meters. The levels are respectively Level 1 (the air is very fresh and good for health) and Level 3 (the air is fresh and good for health).

Similarly, plant volatiles also have temporal and spatial variation patterns. The highest number of species of total volatiles (containing beneficial volatiles) in Japanese cedar plants occurs at noon and afternoon, and in the morning for camphor and moso bamboo. From the perspective of seasonal changes, the number of species of plant volatiles (containing beneficial volatiles) is highest in spring and summer. In autumn and winter, the density of Japanese cedar in summer was significantly higher than that in other seasons, while the peak density of camphor and moso bamboo was highest in spring.

"Different tree species have different health-care function potentials of volatiles. Among the three selected tree species, the average annual ranking of beneficial volatile concentrations is: Japanese cedar 80.08%, camphor 43.01%, moso bamboo 7.66%. Japanese cedar is the volatile The best tree species for health care." Liu Yuanqiu said.

There are many similar studies on detailed indicators, and Liu Yuanqiu introduced them in detail one by one during his speech.

By carrying out scientific research from different perspectives such as time and space, forest stands, and tree species, dividing base functional areas according to the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of regional forest health care elements, and carrying out different types of health care activities, we can scientifically improve the construction level of health care bases and accurately provide Health care services and effectively improve health care effects.

With scientific research as theoretical support, forest health care will surely be able to achieve steady and long-term progress, creating a new development space for the high-quality development of forest parks. (Cao Yun)

Guiding Opinions of Yunnan Province on Promoting Sustainable Forest Management

In order to further strengthen the protection, management and utilization of forest resources, give full play to the multiple benefits and functions of forests, comprehensively improve the level of sustainable forest management, standardize and lead the province's forest management work, the following guiding opinions are proposed.

1. Overall requirements

(1) Guiding ideology

Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we will fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, thoroughly implement Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during his inspection of Yunnan, and firmly establish the concept that clear waters and lush mountains are valuable assets. , closely focusing on the "3815" strategic development goals of our province, with the purpose of cultivating a stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystem, taking sustainable forest management as the main line, adhering to and improving the classified management system, striving to improve forest quality, and giving full play to Forests have multiple benefits, helping rural revitalization and ecological civilization construction.

(2) Basic principles

Adhere to the principle of coordinating protection and development and giving full play to the comprehensive benefits of forests; adhere to the principle of respecting nature and conforming to nature; adhere to the principle of putting the easy things first, then the difficult ones, and advancing in an orderly manner; adhere to the principles of ecological priority, protection priority, conservation integration, and sustainable forest development; adhere to classified management , implement policies by region, highlight the principle of leading functions; adhere to the principle of government leadership, multi-party participation, and encourage business entities; adhere to the principle of assisting the construction of ecological civilization and assisting rural revitalization.

(3) Overall goal

Scientifically and effectively divide, classify, protect and utilize forest land, with the main direction of "adjusting structure, improving quality, and increasing efficiency" to enhance the supply, regulation, service, and support capabilities of forests, and give full play to forest reservoirs, money banks, grain depots, and carbon The database function promotes the high-quality development of forestry in the province.

2. Main tasks

(4) Intensive management of artificial commercial forests

The main goal of intensively managed artificial commercial forests is to improve the material product functions and economic benefits of the forest, adhere to the principles of fast growth, high yield, high quality and efficiency, develop the under-forest economy, fully utilize the production potential of the forest land, and maximize the comprehensive benefits of the forest land.

1. Encourage and support forest management entities to carry out independent management of artificial commercial forests in accordance with the law. On the premise of not changing the management direction, they can adopt intensive management measures to rationally utilize forests, trees and woodland to improve economic benefits.

2. Encourage and support business entities to use artificial commercial forests to develop under-forest economy and carry out eco-tourism and forest health activities.

3. Those who operate forest land owned by collectives, individuals and other non-state-owned entities (hereinafter referred to as "non-state-owned") with an area of ​​more than 500 hectares (7500 acres), and those who have established projects and have identified national reserve forest project implementation units, may apply for separate Forest logging quotas for the "15th Five-Year Plan" year will be compiled, and the logging quotas will be controlled based on the number of units for 5 years.

4. For collective artificial commercial forests, state-owned barren hills contracted by "non-state-owned" entities, and artificial commercial forests built by state-owned units on collective forest land, the age limit for main felling will be cancelled.

5. Comprehensively implement the design of simple felling operations in collective artificial commercial forests, adhere to the felling publicity system, strengthen technical guidance, and improve service levels. If the application for logging does not exceed 15 cubic meters at a time within a year, pre-logging inspection and other procedures will be cancelled, and the notification and commitment method will be fully implemented for approval.

6. The logging operation design of state-owned forests shall be prepared in accordance with relevant technical regulations.

7. For approved annual harvesting indicators, the harvesting operation period can be extended to April 30 of the following year.

(5) Give full play to the multiple benefits of forest land in general protected areas

State-owned secondary national-level public welfare forests and provincial-level public welfare forest lands, collective and individual national-level public welfare forests and provincial-level public welfare forest lands, natural forest protection general areas, and drinking water source secondary protection zones should be used to restore the ecological environment and build ecological barriers. For the main business purpose, strictly control the loss of forest land, strengthen forest management and protection, strengthen tending and management, and carry out business activities around enhancing the ecological functions of the forest.

1. First-level national public welfare forest lands owned by collectives and individuals, based on the principle of strict protection and in accordance with the "National Public Welfare Forest Management Measures", can carry out tending, renewal and logging, and the development and utilization of non-timber resources such as understory economy. business activities.

2. State-owned second-level national public welfare forests and provincial public welfare forest lands can carry out logging for tending and regeneration in accordance with the "Management Measures for National Public Welfare Forests" and the "Management Measures for Public Welfare Forests of Yunnan Province". Without destroying the forest vegetation, its forest land resources can be rationally utilized to develop and utilize non-wood resources such as understory breeding and forest recreation, and scientifically develop the understory economy.

3. Protect general areas of natural forests and stop commercial logging. Without destroying surface vegetation or affecting biodiversity protection, restoration of degraded natural forests can be carried out, and understory economy, eco-tourism, leisure and health care can be developed. Specialty breeding and other industries. Before the delineation of key areas for natural forest protection, areas within the ecological protection red lines delineated by land spatial planning, as well as areas with important ecological locations, weak natural recovery capabilities, fragile ecology, and abundant rare species will be managed as key natural forest protection areas, and other areas will be managed as key areas for natural forest protection. Natural forest protection general areas are managed.

4. In the secondary protected areas of drinking water sources, logging for tending and regeneration can be carried out in accordance with relevant technical regulations on the premise that it does not affect the function of the overall forest ecosystem. On the premise of not destroying the forest vegetation and not affecting the water conservation function, its forest land resources can be reasonably utilized to carry out activities such as understory economy and forest recreation. Public welfare forests and natural forests within the secondary protection zones for drinking water sources should also strictly implement relevant policies and requirements for public welfare forest management and natural forest resource protection.

(6) Improve the ecological functions of forestland in key protected areas

Strengthen the special protection of state-owned first-level national public welfare forestland and first-level protected forestland, nature reserves, key natural forest protection areas, and first-level drinking water source protection areas, highlight natural restoration, and strictly control productive business activities.

1. Forests and woodlands within the ecological protection red line shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the ecological protection red line.

2. In state-owned first-level and national-level public welfare forest lands, any form of production and business activities may not be carried out. If it is really necessary to cut down trees for teaching and scientific research, or if it is really necessary to clear the damaged trees due to special circumstances such as relatively serious forest fires, pests and diseases, maintenance of the living environment of the main protected objects, or other natural disasters, an ecological impact assessment shall be conducted and approved by the county or above. It will be implemented after approval by the forestry and grassland authorities.

3. When carrying out forest management activities in nature reserves, relevant laws, regulations and management policies of nature reserves should be strictly observed. In principle, human activities are prohibited in core protected areas, and human activities are restricted in general control areas. Appropriate areas can be designated to carry out activities such as ecological education, natural experiences, and eco-tourism.

4. In key natural forest protection areas, commercial logging will be completely stopped, and all other production and business activities will be prohibited except for forest pest control, forest fire prevention and other necessary measures to maintain the health of the natural forest ecosystem. Except for special needs for national defense construction and major national engineering projects, it is prohibited to occupy natural forest land in key protection areas.

5. The forest land in the first-level protected area for drinking water sources shall be comprehensively protected. It is prohibited to build or expand construction projects that have nothing to do with water supply (intake) facilities and water source protection. It is prohibited to engage in planting, raising livestock and poultry, and other tourism activities that may pollute water sources. other activities.

(7) Vigorously develop under-forest economy and forest tourism and health care

Leave a comment , , , ,

In order to implement the spirit of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Winning the Battle against Poverty" and the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Poverty Alleviation" and effectively carry out ecological poverty alleviation work, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Forestry Administration, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Water Resources recently , the Ministry of Agriculture, and the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office jointly issued the "Ecological Poverty Alleviation Work Plan" to achieve a "win-win" between poverty alleviation and ecological civilization construction.

Improve the connection mechanism between eco-tourism development and ecological resource protection, increase guidance and support for eco-tourism poverty alleviation, strengthen the construction of supporting tourism facilities such as nature reserves, forest parks, wetland parks, desert parks, and grasslands in accordance with the law, and improve eco-tourism industry standards; Actively create diversified eco-tourism products, promote the deep integration of ecology with pastoral, health care, culture, tourism, education, Internet and other industries, vigorously develop ecological experience, ecological scientific research, ecological health care, eco-tourism, etc., and advocate smart tourism, Low-carbon tourism; create 50 high-profile high-quality forest tourism destinations, 20 high-quality forest tourism routes, 30 forest characteristic towns, 10 national forest experiences and multiple forest health, pastoral health, and cultural sites in poverty-stricken areas. Travel health pilot base, etc.

Combining health and pastoral tourism

Laying the foundation for the development of healthy towns

The growth of economic income and middle-income people, the further implementation of the paid leave system and changes in residents' consumption structure are pushing the tourism market that was originally based on sightseeing and leisure to gradually shift to a holiday residence as the core, combining sightseeing, leisure, experience, and health care. The vacation market has changed, and the era of mass vacation has arrived.

In the vacation era, people no longer pursue catching up with scenic spots and taking photos, but hope to stay as long as possible, calm their souls, enjoy life, and experience "leisure and ease", which ultimately brings physical relaxation and spiritual joy. It can be seen that the core value of tourism and vacation is also the physical and mental health of tourists. Therefore, tourism and health are naturally coupled. The combined development of the two lays the foundation for the development of healthy towns.

First, combine with the ecological environment to create pastoral ecological health care: relying on the good climate and ecological environment of the project site to build ecological experience, vacation health care, hot spring health care, forest health care, mountain summer health care, island cold health care, lake health care, mineral health care Material health care, pastoral health care and other health care businesses will create leisure farms, health resorts, health valleys, hot spring resorts, ecological hotels, local element B&Bs, tea-flavored towns and other products, forming an ecological health care industry system;

Second, develop pastoral health and elderly care combined with health care and elderly care: integrate various elements such as medical care, climate, ecology, rehabilitation, and leisure into the elderly care industry, and develop rehabilitation and rehabilitation, residential elderly care, leisure and vacation-type "migratory bird" elderly care, senior sports, and elderly care. Education, senior cultural activities and other businesses, create comprehensive development projects such as senior care resort bases that integrate senior care residences, senior care facilities, and senior care services, and drive the common development of multiple industries such as nursing, catering, medicine, senior products, finance, tourism, and education. .

Third, combine with sports to create pastoral sports and recreation: relying on topography and resources such as mountains, canyons, and water bodies, develop mountain sports, water sports, outdoor development, outdoor camping, outdoor sports, orienteering, health sports, and extreme sports , traditional sports, hiking, adventure and other outdoor fitness and health products to promote the in-depth integrated development of sports, tourism, vacation, fitness, events and other formats.

Fourth, combine with culture and leisure to create pastoral culture to nourish the soul: deeply explore the unique religion, folk customs, historical culture of the project site, combine market demand and modern lifestyle, and use creative means to create spiritual tourism that is conducive to nourishing the soul. Products enable tourists to cultivate their moral character, return to their true nature, and cultivate their sentiments while gaining cultural experience. For example, relying on religious resources to create a cultural resort, relying on traditional Chinese culture to create a Chinese studies experience base, etc.

Fifth, combine with leisure agriculture to create healthy food and health: medicine and food come from the same source, which is a major feature of Oriental food and health. Therefore, food and health care can be said to be a vital part of health tourism. The development of healthy food can be combined with leisure agriculture. Through the development of green planting industry and ecological breeding industry, ecological healthy food suitable for specific groups of people and with specific health care functions can be developed. At the same time, it can be combined with ecological sightseeing, farming experience, food processing experience, catering Production experience and other activities will promote the comprehensive development of the healthy food industry chain.

Sixth, combine traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine to create health care products: The composition of health care products is mainly guided by theoretical knowledge such as traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, nutrition, psychology, etc., and is based on drug rehabilitation based on the physiological and behavioral characteristics of the human body. , drug treatment as the main method, and rehabilitation and health tourism products combined with certain leisure activities, including physical examination products. It is one of the important contents in medical tourism development.

Seventh, combine it with vacation residence to create rural residence and health care: Residential health care is a health and wellness method that is based on the concept of health and wellness and is led by resort real estate development. This kind of health-preserving residential community provides people with not only living space, but more importantly, a healthy lifestyle. In addition to features such as architectural ecology, good environment, and healthy food, it also provides a full range of therapeutic and health care facilities and services, and provides people with a space and environment for meditation, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivating their bodies and minds in a peaceful atmosphere.

Wellness Town

The “pastoral + health care + cultural tourism” model will be popular in the future

With the health industry as its core, Kangyang Town integrates diversified functions such as pastoral, health, wellness, elderly care, leisure, culture, and tourism to form a characteristic town with a good ecological environment. The "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline issued by the State Council in 2016 pointed out that the integration of health and pastoral care, elderly care, culture, tourism, the Internet, fitness and leisure, and food should be actively promoted to spawn new health industries, new business formats, and new models. Upgrading and industrial chain evolution.

1. Resource advantages

Areas suitable for the establishment and development of pastoral health and cultural tourism towns should generally have good ecological environment and climate conditions, which is an important basic condition for achieving a healthy life. Based on this basic condition, based on different local resources and combined with market demand characteristics, healthy towns that integrate different industrial systems can be developed.

For example, it has religious culture, longevity culture, hot spring resources, pharmaceutical industry resources, etc. Relying on the good climate and ecological environment of the project site, we can build ecological experience, vacation health care, hot spring health care, forest health care, mountain summer health care, island cold health care, lake health care, mineral health care, pastoral health care and other health care formats to create leisure farms, Products such as health resorts, health valleys, hot spring resorts, and ecological hotels/B&Bs form an industrial system for ecological health towns.

2. Industrial characteristics

The industries of health care towns should be health-oriented, such as ecological pastoral industry, elderly care and health industry, leisure agriculture industry, vacation and leisure industry, health food industry, sports culture and tourism, etc.

3. Clear functions

Kangyang Town is different from ordinary towns in that it is more functional. Take the sports industry as an example, relying on topography and resources such as mountains, canyons, and water bodies to develop mountain sports, water sports, outdoor development, outdoor camping, outdoor sports, orienteering, health sports, extreme sports, traditional sports, and hiking , adventure and other outdoor fitness and health products, promote the in-depth integrated development of sports, tourism, vacation, fitness, events and other industries, comprehensively optimize and iterate and deeply present the diversified form of life economy.

Yueyang Municipal People's Government

Regarding Proposal No. 0178 of the Fifth Session of the Twelfth Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference

Opinions on the meeting

Provincial Forestry Bureau:

We have received the "Proposal on Protecting the Clear Water of the River, Paying Attention to Ecological Restoration, and Building a Green Yueyang" proposed by Liu Aijun, a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, at the fifth session of the 12th Provincial Political Consultative Conference. We hereby inform the city's opinions as follows. Please reply to the members together:

1. Regarding strengthening the construction of finless porpoise habitat

Our city has always attached great importance to the protection of the Yangtze River finless porpoise. First, it established the Yueyang East Dongting Lake Finless Porpoise Nature Reserve and the Yueyang Dongting Lake Finless Porpoise Protection Center, which is responsible for the Hunan section of the Yangtze River mainstream, the Yueyang section of the Xiangjiang River, and the East Dongting Lake. Yangtze finless porpoise protection, rescue, observation and daily management of aquatic life reserves. The second is to focus on improving the habitat environment of the Yangtze finless porpoise during the dry season. In 2021, the "Ecological Restoration Project of the Yangtze Finless Porpoise Habitat in the East Dongting Lake Alpine View Area" was applied to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, aiming to restore the Alpine View area where Yangtze finless porpoises have frequent activities and the water level is shallow during the dry season, and improve the habitat environment of the Yangtze River finless porpoise in this water area. At present, the project has been included in the reserve project library of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The third is to reduce the impact of human activities on the Yangtze finless porpoise. We will continue to implement the "ten-year ban on fishing" policy in the Yangtze River, carry out the special work of "clearing the river and clearing the lake", resolutely crack down on illegal fishing, and implement measures such as pollution control, banning illegal docks, cracking down on illegal sand mining, and restricting navigation and speed to ensure the habitat of the Yangtze finless porpoise. be improved and expanded. The fourth is to promote exchanges among the Yangtze finless porpoise "rivers and lakes". At the end of 2021, the Yueyang Finless Porpoise Protection Center organized the preparation of the "Implementation Plan for the Ecological Restoration Project of Yangtze Finless Porpoises and Other Aquatic Wild Animals and Plants in East Dongting Lake" to dredge the migration channels between the Yangtze Finless Porpoises "rivers and lakes". This project has been included in the "Integrated Ecological Restoration Project of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Fields, Lakes, Grasses and Sands" and submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources, pending review and approval. After the project is implemented, it will effectively increase population exchanges and breeding activities among the Yangtze finless porpoise "rivers and lakes".

In the next stage, our city will resolutely implement the central and provincial decisions and arrangements, continue to do a good job in the daily rescue and protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise, and the restoration of the Yangtze finless porpoise habitat, and actively strive to effectively promote the implementation of the project and create a livable home for the Yangtze finless porpoise.

2. Regarding improving the ecological level of Junshan Migratory Bird Wetland Reserve

In recent years, Yueyang City has adhered to the principle of "jointly focusing on large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development", coordinating and promoting the protection and management of Dongting Lake, systematically promoting the protection and restoration of the Dongting Lake wetland ecosystem, and comprehensively improving the level of Dongting Lake wetland protection. The first is to implement ecological restoration projects. Implement restoration and restoration projects for lake restoration and regional water system connection wetland restoration projects, build elk flood season safety platforms and ecological environment islands, complete the installation of monitoring equipment at 10 monitoring points in the lake and 21 points on the flood control embankment surface, around Dongting Lake With the construction of 6 management stations and 12 patrol monitoring points, the living environment of animals and plants has been significantly improved. The Linge Old Monitoring Point (Hualong Wharf) in the East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve has become an important window to demonstrate the effectiveness of Yueyang Wetland Protection. The second is to strictly manage key areas in accordance with the law. We are the first in the province to implement closed management of the large and small West Lakes and trenches in the core area of ​​the reserve with a large population of migratory birds and rich biodiversity. This area has become the area with the highest concentration and the most stable habitat of wintering migratory birds in Dongting Lake. The closed management model It is listed as one of the top ten classic cases of wetland protection in the Yangtze River Basin. Supporting the purchase of crop insurance for wildlife damage in Junshan District has better solved the contradiction between ecological protection and people's production and life. Special operations for the protection of wild animals and plants focusing on the protection of migratory birds have been carried out for many years. In 2021, there were more than 288,000 wintering migratory birds in East Dongting Lake. The third is to speed up the gathering of joint protection efforts. Strengthen the construction of the bird protection volunteer team, develop more than 50 bird protection coordinators in the lake area, and a group of outstanding bird protection volunteers have emerged. We cooperated with the public security, armed police and private environmental protection organizations to establish 10 migratory bird protection sites, and supported private bird lovers to establish 2 private bird protection camps. The eleventh "China Dongting Lake International Bird Watching Festival" was successfully held in a row, and Yueyang was awarded the title of "China's Bird Watching Capital".

In the future, our city will use the forest chief system as a starting point to create a national forest city and an international wetland city, expand the Dongting Lake International Bird Watching Festival + marathon and bird watching + elk and finless porpoise watching, etc., and carry out the Mufu Mountain-Luoxiao District and We will carry out ecological protection and restoration projects around the Dongting Lake area, implement key transportation greening and quality improvement actions, and continue to strengthen the protection of rare and endangered species such as elk and finless porpoise.

3. About creating a green business card for Yueyang City’s ecological cultural tourism

Our city attaches great importance to the branding of cultural tourism ecological resources, focuses on the integration and linkage of ecological cultural tourism resources and traditional tourism resources, and promotes the protection and inheritance of ecological culture. The first is the collaborative development of innovative models. In September 2021, Hunan Yueyang Tower Dongting Lake Cultural Tourism Resort was officially launched, responsible for the implementation of "five unifications" management of the layout, development and construction of the cultural tourism industry in the core area. Actively explore various innovative models such as "Group + Scenic Area", "Scenic Area + Management Rights Leasing", "Scenic Area + Joint Stock Joint Stock System", etc., to achieve the integration effect of 1+1>2, and launch the brand of "Dongting Tianxia Water·Yueyang Tianxia Tower". The second is to create projects to fill in shortcomings. In 2021, the Junshan District Government of our city invested 150 million yuan to build an exhibition and education center covering an area of ​​4,800 square meters for the "Guarding a Clear River" Initiative. An integrated cultural and tourism complex. The Junshan District Sports Park project covers an area of ​​500 acres with a total investment of 110 million yuan. After completion, it will create a functional area integrating mass leisure, fitness, and comprehensive events. The third is to arrange key promotion routes. Since 2020, Yueyang has carefully arranged the city's most influential scenic spots and launched 4 high-quality tourist routes in accordance with the principles of "relying on existing scenic spots to stimulate hot spots, developing outstanding features of eco-tourism, and stringing together highlights according to transportation locations." Among them, the "Passionate Landscape" tourist route in the east connects the newly built scenic spots along the Yangtze River in our country with old scenic spots such as Yueyang Tower and Junshan Island. It is carried out to the outside world through various forms such as inviting travel agencies to step on the line, holding festivals and tourism promotion meetings. Recommend.

In the next step, our city will continue to deeply implement Xi Jinping’s thoughts on ecological civilization, continue to strengthen the ecological restoration and wetland protection of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake waters, revitalize the cultural tourism industry, activate systems and mechanisms, innovate marketing, enrich tourism scene formats, and create a number of stars. Top-quality routes, top-quality scenic spots, and top-quality festivals make "Dongting Tianxia Water and Yueyang Tianxia Tower" famous and desirable.

【Ecological Qinling】Human And Nature Coexist Harmoniously

Leave a comment , , , ,

Open the map and you will see the towering Qinling Mountains, like a dragon, standing in the hinterland of China, guarding the origin of the country. Walking into Zhongnan, you can see the orderly scenery, lush bamboo buds and pine trees, and so many poetic creatures living in a loving place. As natives of Chang'an, we have climbed and walked in the deep forests and peaks of the Qinling Mountains countless times with the reverence of pilgrims. We not only marveled at the vast and flat fertile land of Guanzhong, but also felt closer to us. I am secretly delighted by the majestic and steep peaks, ridges and valleys. Even the splendid documentary "Great Qinling" with tens of thousands of words can't fully show the beautiful picture of the 800-mile Qinchuan River; "The Orchid in the Empty Valley", which aroused strong interest in Zhongnan culture at home and abroad, is even more difficult to describe the beauty of the Qinling Mountains. This natural museum of traditional Chinese culture is surrounded by chirping insects and birds, the fragrant fragrance of grass and trees, and mist. I once wrote in the article "Encounters of Those Seeking Hermits", "Human beings are children of nature, and the countryside is the mother body of human beings, closest to human nature. Otherwise, how can walking in the mountains and rivers always give you the pleasure of freeing yourself from the fetters and returning to your true self? How? When you step on the soil, you feel safe and secure. There is nothing that cannot be forgiven and dissolved. How can you return to the earth after death and rest in peace?" Yes, just like the green mountains and green waters in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, they entrust the most important thing in life as a human being. Profound eternal nostalgia. With such a stable Qinling Mountains, it has firmly supported the inner peace of the Qin people. How can there be no reason not to fear, not love, and not care for it?

In 2008, the entire Guanzhong Ring Line of the ecological tourism highway was completed, which is like wearing the dazzling array of pearls at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains on the chest of the Guanzhong land. Since then, the beauty and grace of the Qinling Mountains have been reflected in the eyes and hearts of people who come close to it. The northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains opened the most generous and warmest mind to her children with her mother-like open arms and deep silent love. However, it is completely different from the green and sustainable ecological development path of introducing social funds, investing in ecological governance, building forest parks, and building public cultural, leisure and sightseeing facilities. Over the years, private villas have been built, mountains have been destroyed, and arbitrarily done in the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. Ecologically damaging actions such as sewage discharge and even flattening of hillsides have been repeatedly banned, so much so that the central government has been alerted and issued six instructions to thoroughly investigate the problem. In this regard, not only did the provincial leaders ask for "deep introspection and reflection" at the special rectification work meeting and "comprehensive search for problems such as non-implementation, inaction, and random behavior in the work," even an ordinary Shaanxi person would feel that he had failed. The leader’s love for his hometown and his kindness to repay his hometown. Because, just like "no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche", everyone has a responsibility to protect the ecological safety of the Qinling Mountains.

Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization

People's Daily issued an article stating, "The problem of illegal villa construction at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains is not only a problem of ecological environment damage, but also a political issue. Whether the handling measures are in place directly tests political responsibility." This test first considers political responsibility and governance. Ability refers to the ability to govern, the original intention of the party spirit, and the sentiments of the people: do they have a firm political stance, do they adhere to the original intention of serving the people wholeheartedly, and can they make good use of the Qinling Mountains, a treasure house of nature and humanity, and bring the people's Are interests and well-being effectively safeguarded? After passing this test, let’s talk about the proposition of ecological civilization and environmental protection.

Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization

Secondly, what is ecological civilization? This is not difficult to understand: it refers to the cultural and ethical form with the basic purposes of harmonious coexistence, virtuous cycle, coordinated development and sustainable prosperity between man and nature and man. What values ​​should be followed in the construction of ecological civilization? The seven basic concepts mentioned in the book "Saving the Earth's Biosphere – On the Transformation of Human Civilization" edited by Comrade Jiang Chunyun, former Vice Premier of the State Council, are enough to give us profound inspiration: First, human beings are members of nature, and they are not related to the rest of nature. Living things are an equal, friendly, and interdependent partnership; secondly, nature has nurtured human beings, and human beings should repay their kindness and treat nature kindly; thirdly, it is natural for human beings to exploit and utilize natural resources, but they must use them in an appropriate amount and not exceed The carrying capacity of natural ecology and the environment; fourth, human development and utilization of nature must not infringe upon the rights and interests of others, other countries, and future generations; fifth, advocate resource conservation, efficiency, and recycling, and strive to maximize benefits, minimize consumption, and minimize environmental impact Minimization; sixth, sustainable development is the highest pursuit goal, rejecting all short-term behaviors that kill chickens to lay eggs, fish in marshes, and seek quick success; seventh, the fruits of development are shared by all members of society and cannot be monopolized by a few.

Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization_Save the Earth’s Biosphere—On the Transformation of Human Civilization

Scientific action measures originate from scientific guiding ideology. All problems of ecological protection in the Qinling Mountains can find the optimal solution. If we are willing to listen, interpret, and implement the spiritual connotation of the scientific thought on "Ecological Civilization and the Construction of a Beautiful China" in the report of the 19th National Congress: "We The modernization to be built is a modernization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously. It is necessary to create more material wealth and spiritual wealth to meet the people's growing needs for a better life, and to provide more high-quality ecological products to meet the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. Need. We must adhere to the policy of giving priority to conservation, protection and natural restoration, form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production methods, and lifestyles that conserve resources and protect the environment, and restore nature to tranquility, harmony, and beauty, as well as the construction of ecological civilization. The success is in the present and the benefits will be in the future. We must firmly establish the socialist ecological civilization concept, promote the formation of a new modernization pattern of harmonious development of man and nature, and make the efforts of our generation to protect the ecological environment!"

The problem management, ecological construction and sustainable development and utilization of the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains are exactly such a cause that will serve the present and benefit the future. Although there is a long way to go, although there are many clues, and although it is difficult in every possible way, with these guiding values ​​and guiding thoughts, you will not be confused when you start walking.
