Shanxi, as a province in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, shoulders the arduous mission of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. Shanxi is not only an important part of the national ecological security pattern of "three screens and four regions", but also an ecological barrier in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which is of great significance to maintaining the ecological security of the Yellow River Basin and even a wider area.
In recent years, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, comprehensively promoted the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin with unprecedented determination and strength, and coordinated the promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction and green expansion, so as to make Shanxi's contribution to the sustainable benefit of the Yellow River for the Chinese nation and build a more powerful ecological guarantee for writing a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Shanxi.
Lucid waters and lush mountains build a solid foundation
The ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin has been comprehensively strengthened
This year marks the fifth anniversary of the implementation of the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy of the Yellow River Basin. Relevant data show that the mainland has made a series of phased achievements in promoting regional green development, ecological restoration, and economic transformation in the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin.
Jinzhong is located in the middle reaches of the Fen River, and the main stream of the Fen River is 124 kilometers long in the city, accounting for 17.8% of the total length of the Fen River.
In order to protect the ecological environment of the middle reaches of the Fen River, Jinzhong City has systematically carried out all-round, all-region and whole-process comprehensive management of the Yellow River Basin with the project of "One Flood of Clear Water Flowing into the Yellow River" as the traction, and made every effort to do a good job in ecological protection.
"Look, so many waterfowl are frolicking on the water, there are swans, black storks ......" On June 30, in the Jiexiu Fenhe National Wetland Park, Zheng Xian, a reporter from China Water Conservancy News, could not hide his excitement. Wherever he pointed, hundreds of waterfowl lined up on the shore to take a leisurely rest, or played happily in the water, forming a vivid and harmonious picture of nature.
Looking at the scene of black stork, gray crane, sparrowhawk and other national key protected birds foraging freely and soaring happily on the water surface, Yang Song, director of the special office of the "Yihong Clear Water Flows into the Yellow River" in Jiexiu City, said proudly: "When autumn comes, more waterfowl will come to roost here." ”
It is understood that Jiexiu Fenhe National Wetland Park, as a model for protecting the ecology of the Fenhe River and improving water quality in our province, has attracted 332 species of plants and 155 species of wild animals to "settle down" here with its excellent ecological environment and developed water system network. According to the data, from January to April this year, the proportion of excellent water bodies in the Yellow River Basin of our province increased to 91.5%, an increase of 12.2 percentage points year-on-year.
In order to protect the lucid waters and lush mountains, our province adheres to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, and strictly controls the zoning of the ecological environment to ensure that every inch of land is carefully cared for.
In terms of ecological restoration, our province has made overall arrangements for land greening, soil and water conservation, small watershed management and mine ecological restoration, and made every effort to improve the ecological carrying capacity of the sustainable development of the Yellow River Basin. Not long ago, the "Demonstration Project of Ecological Restoration of Historical Abandoned Mines in the Yellow River 'Several Bends' Key Ecological Attack Area of Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province" and the "Ecological Restoration Demonstration Project of Historical Abandoned Mines in the Key Areas of the National 'Three Norths' Project in Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province" were successfully selected in the national competitive review.
In addition, our province has also established a strict ecological environment monitoring system to monitor and control all kinds of pollution sources in real time, increase the crackdown on illegal acts, and severely punish behaviors that damage the ecological environment.
Promote development from green to new
The industries in the Yellow River Basin have achieved high-quality development
Protect in development, develop in protection.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "to rejuvenate the green is to pay attention to quality and efficiency, expand the path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains, and promote the better linkage of forest 'reservoirs, money banks, grain depots, and carbon pools', so as to realize the unity of ecological, economic and social benefits." ”
While strengthening ecological protection, our province actively promotes industrial innovation and upgrading, takes the road of green development, and achieves high-quality development.
In the field of agriculture, it is necessary to popularize advanced agricultural technology and management models, improve the quality and added value of agricultural products, and ensure that agricultural production is in harmony with the ecological environment. "While improving the quality of the ecological environment, we are exploring ways to transform resource advantages into economic advantages. On the one hand, farmers should be recruited to participate in afforestation, management and protection, as well as understory economic income generation such as morels; On the other hand, we will vigorously promote the development of the grass seed industry and build the province's largest standardized grass seed breeding base of 1,000 acres of flat spike ice grass and mangfinch wheat. Wang Xiaolin, director of the Poplar Forest Bureau, introduced.
It is understood that the "Three Norths" project in our province is an important part of the "Loess Plateau-Sichuan-Yunnan Ecological Barrier" in the national "two screens and three belts" ecological security pattern. In the process of promoting the "Three Norths" project, our province adheres to the close combination of the project with ecological poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and gradually explores the characteristic economic forest products and understory economic industries suitable for local growth, taking it as an important way to adjust the rural industrial structure and promote farmers' income. It has led more than 1 million farmers to increase their income.
In addition, in the industrial field, our province has accelerated the elimination of backward production capacity and excess capacity, and promoted the development of traditional industries in the direction of high-end, intelligent and green. At the same time, it has vigorously developed emerging industries such as cultural tourism and health care for the elderly, and has created a number of tourism brands with local characteristics by relying on the advantages of rich history, culture and natural resources.
Integration of cultural inheritance and innovation
The Yellow River Basin in Shanxi Province has written a new chapter
Excavate the value of the Yellow River culture and tell the "Yellow River story" in the new era.
While promoting the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, our province also pays attention to the integration of cultural inheritance and innovation, deeply excavates the connotation and value of the Yellow River culture, and promotes the deep integration of the Yellow River culture with tourism, education and other fields.
In 2021, our province issued the "Special Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Yellow River Basin of Shanxi Province (2021-2035)"; In 2022, the "Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Promotion of the Yellow River Culture in Shanxi Province" was issued. According to the "construction drawings", Shanxi has made every effort to call out the cultural tourism brand of "the soul of the Yellow River in Shanxi", and strides towards the goal of building an internationally renowned cultural tourism destination.
Our province also focuses on the culture of the Yellow River, creating high-quality literary and artistic activities to feast on the masses, such as the dance epic "Yellow River" and the symphonic suite "Yellow River Mural"; By holding cultural tourism festival brand activities such as "Shanxi Tourism Development Conference" and "Dahe Civilization Tourism Forum", we will continue to shape the roots and souls of the sons and daughters of Sanjin.
In addition, our province has also actively promoted the integrated development of the Yellow River culture and tourism industry, relying on the natural scenery and cultural landscape advantages of the Yellow River, to create a number of tourism routes and tourism products with local characteristics. These tourism products not only attract many tourists to come for sightseeing, but also drive the development of the local economy and the increase of employment.
"Standing at the Fengling Ferry, overlooking the rolling Yellow River at your feet, it's too spectacular." Xu Haonan, who had just finished the college entrance examination, told reporters excitedly.
The green is covered with barren land, and the deep stream flows out of the clear stream. The sons and daughters of Sanjin are earnestly answering the ecological answer sheet, so that the mother river will continue to benefit the beautiful Sanjin and gather spiritual strength for Chinese-style modernization.
