"Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, during the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the State Forestry and Grass Administration, together with relevant departments, have made remarkable achievements in actively promoting the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses. Facing the future, we will fully implement the major deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee and make new progress in promoting the construction of ecological civilization." Wang Hong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of natural resources and director of the State Oceanic Administration, held a press conference on implementing the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee and doing a good job in ecological protection and restoration on the morning of December 17, from the accelerated improvement of the legal system for ecological protection and restoration, stricter management and control of ecological space, steady progress in the construction of nature reserves, important achievements in the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, in-depth development of land greening actions, and key special actions and projects for ecological protection and restoration The results are obvious, exploring the market-oriented investment mechanism for ecological restoration, and comprehensively strengthening the protection of biodiversity.
The ecological protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses was put forward according to General Secretary Xi Jinping's concept that "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses are a community of life". What are the specific results of this project and what are the differences from previous ecological protection and restoration projects?In response to this question from a reporter from China Mining News, Zhou Yuanbo, Director of the Department of Land and Space Ecological Restoration of the Ministry of Natural Resources, answered.
China Mining News reporter Wu Qihua asked questions on the spot.
Zhou Yuanbo said that the overall management of the landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system is an important part of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought. General Secretary Xi Jinping once vividly pointed out that "mountains, rivers, forests, fields and lakes are a community of life. The lifeblood of people is in the fields, the lifeblood of fields is in the water, the lifeblood of water is in the mountains, the lifeblood of mountains is in the soil, and the lifeblood of soil is in the trees". "If those who plant trees only plant trees, those who control water only control water, and simply protect the fields, it is easy to take care of one and lose the other, and eventually cause systematic ecological damage".
"In order to implement the important instructions of General Secretary Jinping, during the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ministry of Ecological Environment carried out 25 pilot projects for ecological protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses across the country. These 25 pilot projects involve 24 provinces across the country and benefit 65 state-level poverty-stricken counties. The central government has issued a total of 50 billion yuan in awards and subsidies. At present, the actual investment completed is nearly 170 billion yuan, which has achieved remarkable results." Zhou Yuanbo said.
According to Zhou Yuanbo, compared with the previous ecological protection and restoration projects,has the following characteristics:
One isIn the determination of task objectives, adhere to the concept of system, take regions and river basins as units, coordinate all natural ecological elements, implement overall protection, systematic restoration and comprehensive management, and highlight the integrity of natural geographical units, the relevance of ecosystems and the comprehensiveness of restoration objectives.
Two isIn terms of organization and implementation, we have adhered to the equality of powers and responsibilities, and initially established a working mechanism of "departmental coordination, upper and lower linkage, provincial overall responsibility, and city and county implementation", and carried out overall planning and coordinated advancement to solve the problem of division and division. The problem of division and fragmentation.
Three isIn the choice of restoration mode, adhere to local conditions, according to different situations, according to the problem-oriented, the whole restoration area is divided into different restoration units, according to the actual needs, take protection and conservation, natural restoration, auxiliary restoration, ecological reconstruction and other different restoration methods and measures, not uniform, to overcome the engineering thinking and excessive repair problems.
Four isIn financing investment, insist on walking on two legs. While the central government rewards and subsidies and local financial investment, comprehensive use of land policies, financial tools, and promotion of industrial integration and other measures to explore the establishment of a diversified investment mechanism.
"We will continue to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's thought of ecological civilization, conscientiously implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary session of the CPC Central Committee, and further strengthen the guidance and supervision of the pilot project." Zhou Yuanbo said that in the next step, we must sum up experience in time, strive to improve work, form replicable and extentable pilot results, and promote and apply them in a timely manner. It is necessary to earnestly strengthen the concept of the system, truly root General Secretary Xi Jinping's idea that "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses are a community of life" in his thoughts, implement them in action, continuously improve the quality and stability of the ecosystem, and guard the boundaries of natural ecological security. Build a solid national ecological security barrier.
With regard to the next task of ecological protection and restoration, Wang Hong said that the Ministry of Natural Resources, together with relevant departments, will conscientiously implement the major arrangements for the construction of ecological civilization at the Fifth Plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, anchor new goals, grasp new requirements, implement new tasks, and make new achievements. We will adhere to the overall planning of development and security, strengthen the land space planning and use control, take the three control lines of ecological protection red line, permanent basic farmland and urban development boundary as the insurmountable red line for adjusting economic structure, planning industrial development and promoting urbanization, keep the natural ecological security boundary and build a solid ecological security barrier; we will adhere to the system concept and accelerate the construction of a natural reserve system with Chinese characteristics, implement the "National Major Ecosystem Protection and Restoration Major Project Master Plan", formulate and implement land and space ecological restoration plans, scientifically promote the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, strengthen biodiversity protection, improve the quality and stability of the ecosystem, and serve the society Provide more high-quality ecological products; adhere to ecological priority and green development, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of natural resource utilization, promote total resource management, scientific allocation, comprehensive conservation, and recycling to achieve protection in development and development in protection; reduce the occupation of natural ecological space through land space use control, and improve the carbon sequestration capacity of the ecosystem through ecological protection and restoration. Land space planning scientifically lays out the ecological space of production and life, and guides green production and lifestyle, in order to achieve General Secretary Xi Jinping's goals of carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality at the 75th United Nations General Assembly General Debate and Climate Ambition Summit, we will make due contributions to building a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and building a community with a shared future for mankind.
