Shaanxi officials released the "Ten Actions for Ecological Space Management in the Yellow River Basin of Shaanxi Province" on the 18th, which will be based on the five positions of "forests, wetlands, grasslands, deserts, deserts, and natural landscapes", focusing on "ecological protection, ecological restoration, ecological reconstruction, and ecological enrichment. The six fronts of" ecological services and ecological security "take the beautiful ecological space as the overall goal, and take the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the ecosystem as the starting point, continue to implement ecological space management projects such as returning farmland to forests and grasslands, Three North Shelterbelts, and natural forest protection, accelerate the modernization of the ecological space management system and management capabilities in the Yellow River Basin, and strive to increase the forest area by 8.3 million mu and increase the forest coverage by 4 Percentage points.
According to reports, the Yellow River is 719 kilometers long in Shaanxi, and the land area, population and total economic volume of the basin account for 65%, 76% and 87% of Shaanxi respectively. In the Yellow River ecological environment protection, Shaanxi has been in the forefront. Especially since the beginning of the new century, Shaanxi forestry has insisted on greening as the foundation for controlling the Yellow River, and has continued to implement ecological space management projects. 8.6 million acres of mobile sandy land in the province have been fixed or semi-fixed, and the Maowusu sandy land will soon "disappear" from the territory of Shaanxi. The natural protected area in the belly core of the Loess Plateau has basically formed, the forest coverage rate has reached 36.8, and the average annual amount of yellow mud sand has been reduced from 0.83 billion tons to 0.268 billion tons. According to the analysis of satellite data from the Shaanxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau, the Loess Plateau with northern Shaanxi as the core has become the region with the largest continuous green increase in the country.
The overall layout of the ten major actions for ecological space management in the Yellow River Basin in Shaanxi is "three screens, three areas and one corridor", namely, the ecological protection barrier of Maowusu Sandy Land, the ecological protection barrier of Huanglong Mountain Bridge Mountain, the ecological security barrier of the northern slope of Qinling Mountains, the ecological restoration area of loess hills and gullies, Baiyushan Ecological Management Area, Guanzhong Beishan Ecological Reconstruction Area, Weihe Valley Landscape Green Corridor Ecological Reconstruction Belt along the Yellow River along the Yellow River in Shaanxi. The ten major actions include the construction of the nature reserve system, the protection of natural ecological resources, the protection of biodiversity, and the greening of ecological space.
Shaanxi will strengthen the protection of national key wildlife such as giant pandas, crested ibis, antelopes, golden monkeys, the "Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains" and relict gulls, brown eared pheasants, original musk deer, and North China leopards, and severely crack down on illegal hunting, trading, transportation, and eating wild animals. behavior. Strengthen the protection and utilization of rare wild plants such as Chai Pine, Taxus, and Shaanxi Euonymus, establish in-situ protection communities for rare wild plants, and promote the in-situ and ex-situ protection of endangered wild plants. Strengthen the supervision of wildlife concentrated distribution areas, ecological corridors and other areas, and crack down on habitat destruction in accordance with the law. The Huangdi Mausoleum and other ancient tree communities were protected as a whole, and health examinations were carried out on key ancient and famous trees such as Huangdi's hand-planted cypress and Laozi's hand-planted ginkgo. Promote the construction of national germplasm resource banks such as yew, and declare the construction of a batch of national germplasm resources in-situ preservation banks, native tree species collection bases, and forest tree seed breeding bases.
In addition, it will also carry out the restoration of degraded grasslands, restore grassland vegetation, and enhance self-healing capabilities. We will strengthen the comprehensive management of degraded wetlands in the Yellow River and its tributaries, such as the Weihe River and the Wuding River, and enhance the ability to conserve water sources. Strengthen the research and application of afforestation technologies such as drought resistance and water saving, implement ecological reconstruction of difficult site, and restore the ecosystems in key areas such as Guanzhong Beishan, Baiyu Mountain, Maowusu Sandy land, and along the Yellow River. Coordinate the creation of forest cities and forest villages, consolidate existing construction achievements, and promote the upgrading of forest urban and rural areas. We will explore the establishment of mechanisms such as building first and making up later, replacing subsidies with awards, and purchasing services, and promote the "Internet voluntary tree planting" model.
