Xi Jinping's trip to Inner Mongolia, walking into the "Pearl of the Outer Seas"-Wuliangsuhai | Ecology | Inner Mongolia
On the afternoon of June 5, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous region, came to Wuliangsuhai to learn about the local adherence to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, grass and sand, and to promote the restoration of the ecological environment. Observe the natural features and surrounding ecological environment of Wuliangsuhai.
Wuliangsuhai is located in Urad Front Banner, and is the largest functional wetland in the Yellow River Basin and a rare large-scale grassland lake in desert and semi desert regions worldwide. It undertakes important functions such as water regulation, water purification, and ice and flood prevention in the Yellow River, and is known as the "natural kidney" of ecological security in the Yellow River. The lake area is in the shape of a half moon, with a water area of 293 square kilometers, and is known as the "pearl outside the Great Wall".
Since the 1990s, Wuliangsuhai has experienced phenomena such as a decrease in natural water supply, pollution of urban and industrial wastewater, and degradation of ecological functions. In recent years, through comprehensive management of the entire watershed and all factors, the ecological environment of the watershed has significantly improved. The water quality in the lake area has increased from poor Class V to overall Class V and local Class IV, and biodiversity has continued to recover. There are currently 264 species of birds and 22 species of fish in the lake area, and the management work has achieved phased results.
