To protect and restore the ecology and safeguard the "Chinese Water Tower", they have made these efforts →
The Yellow River Source Park of Sanjiangyuan National Park has an average altitude of 4,500 meters, with the lowest temperature reaching more than minus 40 degrees Celsius. The natural conditions are harsh and the ecology is fragile. The park party committee continues to play the role of a fighting fortress of the party organization, leading party members and the masses to overcome difficulties, effectively protect and restore the ecology, and guard the "China Water Tower".
It is midsummer, but in the source of the Yellow River in Qinghai Province, the temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius. Party members and cadres of the Yellow River Source Park are leading local people to build straw grids on the vast sand dunes, using the only golden month of grass planting time in a year to complete 30,000 mu of sand sealing and grass cultivation.
Lamao Suonan, head of the project office of the Yellow River Source Park Management Committee of Sanjiangyuan National Park: After the grass grids are laid, grass seeds are sprinkled in between them. This is mainly to prevent wind and sand from coming up and to bury the grass seeds deeper.
The Yellow River Source Park of Sanjiangyuan National Park covers an area of 19,100 square kilometers, with an average altitude of 4,500 meters. The lowest temperature here reaches more than minus 40 degrees Celsius, the natural conditions are harsh, the ecology is fragile, droughts and snowstorms occur frequently, and the task of ecological protection, restoration and governance is very arduous.
The park's Party Committee has set up 19 ecological protection teams and Party branches, and 184 Party groups. More than 300 Party members took the lead in overcoming difficulties such as high altitude hypoxia and poor roads, going deep into grasslands, glaciers, lakes and wetlands, and exploring the path of integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and deserts. Jiayang Duojie, the director of the Huanghe Township Ecological Protection Station, is one of them.
Jiayang Duojie, director of the Ecological Management Station of the Yellow River Source Park of Sanjiangyuan National Park: Sometimes I can't go back, so I live in the mountains. Sometimes cars and motorcycles can't drive through, so I have to walk. It takes three or four hours to walk two kilometers.
Running around in the wild places like this has long become a daily routine for Jiayang Dorje and his team. Renqing Dorje, who was traveling with them, told reporters that the ecology of the Yellow River Source Park has gradually improved in recent years, and the number of wild animals has gradually increased. In the winter of the year before last, they had a close encounter with a snow leopard.
Renqing Duojie, director of the General Affairs Department of the Yellow River Source Park Management Committee of Sanjiangyuan National Park: I stretched my head out on the edge of the cliff and saw the snow leopard right there. I was happy and scared at the same time, but it didn't get scared or run away.
Over the past eight years, Jiayang Dorje has traveled more than 90,000 kilometers. He and his colleagues patrolled grasslands and lakes, rescued wild animals, and built nests for birds. They guarded this peaceful and beautiful plateau with a high sense of responsibility as a Communist Party member.
Under the demonstration and leadership of party members, many herdsmen have gradually transformed from grassland users to ecological managers, becoming the "main force" of ecological protection.
Tashi, an ecological ranger at the Yellow River Source Park of Sanjiangyuan National Park: Seeing how hard the party members work and how they protect the national park as if it were their own eyes, I think that the environment belongs to everyone, and we should also work together to protect our home.
All living things are the best witnesses, and mountains, rivers, and plants are the most beautiful footnotes. Today, the source of the Yellow River has once again seen the wonder of thousands of lakes, with the number of lakes increasing from 4,077 to 5,849, the wetland area increasing by 104 square kilometers, the grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage reaching 56.3%, the biodiversity constantly enriched, and the wild animal population increasing to 106 species.
