Green Water and Green Mountains Reflecting Initial Heart General Secretary's Heart of "Green China" General Secretary's Heart of "Green China"-Exclusive Manuscript | Green Water and Green Mountains Reflecting Initial Heart |

The green mountains are endless, and the green waters are long gone.

2023 is the beginning year for fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Chinese path to modernization is a modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony.

Trees retain the imprint of time and witness the changes of history.

He came to Zhanjiang City and inspected the Jinniu Island mangrove forest area in Huguang Town, Mazhang District, to understand the local situation of strengthening mangrove protection. He emphasized that this mangrove forest is a "national treasure" and should be protected as well as the eyes.

The mangrove forests in Zhanjiang, Guangdong have been recognized by international wetland experts as a successful example of world wetland restoration; There are over 150 species of birds, over 240 species of aquatic animals, and nearly 400 species of aquatic organisms inhabiting the mangrove forests at the mouth of the Zhangjiang River in Fujian Province; The Futian Mangrove Wetland in Shenzhen, Guangdong has been included in the "International Important Wetlands" list of the Wetland Convention... Nowadays, mangroves have become a beautiful business card of China.

An ancient Shu Road, half of the history of China.

The continuous ancient cypress trees on the millennium old road have been weathered by wind and rain, becoming precious specimens of coexistence between nature and humanity.

Using water to nourish and nourish the beautiful rivers and mountains

The Yangtze River is vast, the Yellow River is surging, and a part of the history of Chinese civilization has never ceased to flow.

The Yuncheng Salt Lake in Shanxi has a mining history of over 4600 years, with profound cultural heritage and important historical value. In recent years, the local government has adhered to prioritizing protection and promoting green development, implementing the policy of "returning salt to the lake". All industrial production within the scope of salt lake protection has been stopped, and industrial transformation and upgrading have been promoted according to local conditions.

How to treat Mother River? Big development or big protection? "Ze is favored by later generations" or "fishing with all one's might"?

The great river flows, and the marshes cover both sides. In order to protect the original ecosystem of the salt lake, the local government of Yuncheng not only formulated policies and regulations such as the Salt Lake Ecological Protection and Restoration Plan and the Yuncheng Salt Lake Protection Regulations, but also carried out "Clean Lake Action" to transform today's salt lake from an "industrial and mining development zone" to an "ecological protection zone".

Located in Urad Front Banner, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, Wuliangsuhai is like a "pearl outside the Great Wall", embedded at the top of the "several character bend" of the Yellow River.

In recent years, the local government has taken multiple measures to implement comprehensive and systematic management of the entire watershed, promoting the continuous improvement of the ecological environment of Wuliangsuhai. The overall water quality is stable at Class V, and some areas are better than Class V. The water surface area is stable at 293 square kilometers, and biodiversity continues to recover.

Change is not just about one city and one territory. Zhejiang is comprehensively promoting the work of "five water co governance" and striving to achieve the transformation of water ecological environment from "clean" to "beautiful"; Shandong and Henan provinces have taken the lead in implementing inter provincial horizontal ecological compensation in the Yellow River Basin nationwide; A series of special actions have been implemented in Sichuan, the ecological barrier of the upper reaches of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers and the main water source conservation area, to solve a number of prominent water ecological environment problems and ensure that a river flows eastward with clear water.

With the coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, in the first half of this year, among 3641 national surface water assessment sections, the proportion of sections with good water quality was 87.8%, an increase of 2.1 percentage points year-on-year; The proportion of Class V sections is 1.0%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.1 percentage points, and the national surface water environment quality continues to improve.

Water nourishes the earth and covers all things.

Preventing sand and fixing green, writing a green miracle

The "Three North" project starts from Xinjiang in the west and ends at Heilongjiang in the east, forming a green Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles.

Along the way, as far as my eyes could see, yellow and green intertwined. After the improvement of saline alkali land, green seedlings grow, tough and upright trees take root in the sandy land, and the network woven by the Yellow River irrigation canal tells the story of the historical process of this land.

In recent years, China has strictly adhered to the ecological red line, continuously strengthened the construction of important ecological security barriers in northern China, and promoted the transformation from "sand entering and people retreating" to "green entering and sand retreating".

From the initial concept that "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, and lakes are a community of life" to "the need to coordinate the management of the grass and sand system in mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands", the word "grass" and "sand" have been added word by word, reflecting not only a systematic concept and a holistic thinking, but also a gradual development after field research.

Yellow sand recedes, green spreads. As of the end of 2022, China has completed a total of 305 million acres of sand prevention and control tasks, with a total area of 27076500 acres under lockdown and protection. 41 national comprehensive demonstration zones for sand prevention and control and 99 national desert parks have been established, and a green ecological barrier with scientifically configured trees, shrubs, and grasses has been built along the northern wind and sand line in China.
