Looking at the Yangtze River | Qinghai: Plateau Pearl and Clear Water Conservation | Ecology | Clear Water
The Three Rivers Source is an important source of freshwater resources in China, the region with the most concentrated biodiversity on the plateau, a sensitive and important starting area for global climate change, and an important national ecological security barrier.
In response to the national ecological protection policy of the Three Rivers Source, in November 2004, 407 herdsmen from 128 households, including Shen Ge, left the grassland where they have lived for generations - the Tuotuo River Basin at the source of the Yangtze River - and moved to the southern suburbs of Golmud City, more than 400 kilometers away.

In August 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to inspect the appearance of the village, and went to Shenge's home to inspect the housing and living conditions, and had a cordial conversation with the family.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the protection of the Three Rivers Source is a major policy determined by the Party Central Committee, and ecological migration is an important measure to implement this policy and must be organized and implemented.

Over the past 20 years, the ecological protection construction scope of the Three Rivers Source has been continuously optimized, measures have been continuously improved, and efforts have been continuously increased, achieving a shift from simply protecting the ecology to comprehensively coordinating ecological protection with economic and social development, and moving towards harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
