Guizhou Province, is located in the transitional slope zone from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to Sichuan Basin, known as the "Qianshu Gate Screen". In the past few years, due to natural factors and human activities, soil erosion was serious and the ecological environment was fragile. Since
2022, Daozhen County has taken the opportunity of implementing the integrated ecological protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand in Wuling Mountains, vigorously carried out the work of mine ecological restoration, comprehensive improvement of river water environment, improvement of forestry ecological function and comprehensive improvement of land, and the ecological environment quality has been significantly improved.
"Dao really has such a great change, which is the fruit of Party building leading ecological protection and restoration, taking measures according to local conditions, classifying protection and restoration, and keeping the two bottom lines of development and ecology." Ran Xiaoyong, party secretary and director of Daozhen Natural Resources Bureau, said. In the warm spring season of
improving the environment, building nests and attracting phoenixes
, we walked into the construction site of the ecological revetment and river dredging project in Tangcun Village, Sanqiao Town, Daozhen County, and saw excavators and dregs trucks stepping up their operations, digging dregs, loading, laying soil, covering soil, and the sound of machines rumbling. In the past, the Meijiang River, a tributary of the Furong River flowing through here, had difficulties in flood discharge due to soil erosion, and a large area of surrounding farmland was flooded in the rainy season. Wei Zewen, Secretary of the Party Committee
of Sanqiao Town, told reporters that Tangcun Dam, Leijiaba Dam, Liyuan Dam, Masang Dam and other dams along the Meijiang River are rare 1000 mu dams in Daozhen County, which are the main economic support of Sanqiao Town. The destruction of the ecological environment has directly affected the local economic development.
"In the long-term undertaking of geological and technical support in Daozhen County, especially in the planning and design of ecological protection and restoration in Wuling Mountains, it is found that there are various forms of mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, grass and sand in this area, and it is extremely difficult to integrate protection and restoration.". In cooperation with China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Chengdu University of Technology and scientific research institutes, we have carried out scientific research, introduced new technologies and methods, and worked out a feasible protection and restoration planning and design scheme. Chen Zhongfa, deputy manager of the Ecological Restoration Center of the 106 Geological Brigade of the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, said.
In 2022, Daozhen County launched the implementation of soil and water conservation restoration for the Meijiang River, a tributary of the Furong River. In addition to the comprehensive management of the river course, it also implemented the construction of ecological bank slopes, flood discharge ditches, improvement of the ecological quality of farmland, and greening of human settlements buffer zones, so as to further improve the water ecological environment of the basin and strengthen the soil and water conservation along the line. The
clear Meijiang River flows quietly, and the once blocked and narrow river course is finally unobstructed after dredging. The dredged soil has been cultivated through the plough layer, adding nearly 100 mu of arable land. After the renovation, the bald mountain wears a cuckold, and the two sides of the Meijiang River are like a paradise. The improvement of the environment has attracted Chongqing businessmen to come to Daozhen to cooperate in the development of tourism industry, with an initial investment of 30 million yuan to build the Meijiang River tourism and recreation project. After the completion of the project, thousands of people will be engaged in residential accommodation, catering and other related services, benefiting nearly 2000 villagers to participate in the construction of supporting facilities.
The innovative fund-raising mode
has entered the construction site of the land consolidation project implemented by Datian Village, Hekou Town, which integrates social funds, and the terraces are scattered layer upon layer. After the improvement of rocky desertification land, the former rocky slope has reached the reclamation conditions by means of gravel fixation and supplementary soil covering, and the new cultivated land area is nearly 1000 mu.
Daozhen County's absorption of social funds to participate in the implementation of ecological restoration is no longer an example, and Daozhen County has tasted the sweetness of comprehensive land improvement. In the past few years, the 2000 mu land consolidation project in Yingzui Village, Luolong Town, has made this village the first flue-cured tobacco village in Guizhou Province, with an annual harvest of 4500 yuan per mu, enabling tobacco farmers to build small foreign buildings, buy cars, and turn the rocky slope into a rich people's garden.
Pointing to the terraced fields renovated in Datian Village, Chen Defang, senior engineer of the Geological Environment Technology Service Center of Daozhen Natural Resources Bureau, said with a smile that this was originally a large rocky slope, and that in the process of ecological restoration, through social financing, he participated in the land renovation project implemented throughout the county, which effectively protected the red line of cultivated land in the county. It is of great significance to improve the index of new cultivated land in the county, promote the effective implementation of the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation, and provide strong support for high-quality economic and social development. In the near future, the land consolidation area will be handed over to the local village collective, and agricultural planting will be developed according to local conditions, turning the rocky slope into a bumper harvest land.
Activate social capital "a pool of spring water", so that Daozhen County is full of confidence in the implementation of ecological restoration projects. The integration of more than 100 million yuan of social capital has accelerated the pace of project construction.
Source control green development
in Yuxi Town Chengguan Village Gold Exchange Group, Daozhen County Tiexing Building Materials Company after the construction of a green mine with an annual output of 1.6 million tons of sand and gravel, without the dust and noise disturbing the people in the past, the vehicles in and out have been cleaned twice, the roads are clean and tidy, and the mountains are green while mining and repairing. Zhou Xin, the owner of
the quarry, is a native of Daozhen County who has been working for more than 20 years. According to him, the mine invested more than 5 million yuan and was built in 2015. In March 2020, under the guidance of the Natural Resources Bureau of Daozhen County, technological transformation, capacity expansion, upgrading and transformation began to control from the source, build green mines, and form the integration of industrial structure and production mode of saving resources and protecting the environment.
According to the requirements of green mine construction, the mine implements stepped mining. The covering layer of floating soil is stripped to build a dregs field, tree seedlings and turf are cultivated, the stripped floating soil is transported back after mining, the soil is covered layer by layer, and trees and turf are transplanted layer by layer for ecological restoration.
Looking ahead, the terrace-like mountains after ecological restoration are lush and green. Except for the tunnel face being mined, there is almost no trace of excavation. Employees in
the field said that they could not bear to see the ecological damage caused by mining before, but there was no way to make a living. Now, their working environment is full of green, and their mood is much better.
"In the past, most of the sand and gravel mines were excavated in a drastic way, causing environmental damage and then treating it, which led to many hidden dangers of ecological disasters.". Now, we put the concept of green development and ecological priority throughout the mineral resources planning, change the way of resource utilization, guide the transformation and upgrading of traditional mining industry, control from the source, and minimize the damage to the ecological environment. Lei Yu, deputy director of Daozhen County Natural Resources Bureau, said. Since Daozhen County started the project of integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand in Wuling Mountains, Daozhen County, a
natural harmony between Man and Nature
, has adhered to the principle of "soil and water conservation" as the core, people-oriented and suiting measures to local conditions, and has been promoted in an orderly and effective manner. In an interview with the Xuetangzui Group of Gangcun Village, Sanqiao Town, Daozhen County, the
reporter heard the legend of Gongmi in Gangcun Village. Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Jiang An, a local Jinshi, served as an official in the imperial court and offered Gangcun rice to the royal family. He was favored by Emperor Qianlong and gave Gangcun rice "golden beans", so Gangcun rice was also known as "tribute rice".
Gangcun Gongmi production area is located in Dashahe National Nature Reserve. The area has fertile soil, abundant water resources and abundant sunshine. The soil is rich in selenium, zinc and other trace elements, and pollution-free organic cultivation, the production of tribute rice is high-quality green and healthy rice. Local villagers have lived a good life with the fist product of Gongmi.
In the process of ecological restoration, in order to realize the regional protection of the origin of agricultural products with local characteristics, the ecological restoration concept of "natural restoration as the main and artificial restoration as the supplement" is adopted. Farmland ecological function improvement and control projects such as tamping field ridge, new dry masonry retaining ridge, new construction and reconstruction of irrigation and drainage projects, field road repair and new construction, farmland protection and ecological environment conservation projects have been implemented. Relying on this
, Daozhen County has built a demonstration base for high-yield and high-efficiency cultivation of rice with 500 mu of soil transplanting, shallow water transplanting and ecological dry seedling raising in Xuetangzui Group, Gangcun Village, Sanqiao Town.
By the end of April 2023, the state-level integrated protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand in Wuling Mountains implemented by Daozhen County had completed 43 kilometers of comprehensive improvement of river water environment, 62 ecological restoration of mines and 12 comprehensive land improvement projects, totaling more than 70% of the total project.
"Daozhen County will continue to explore new paths and models for the construction of ecological civilization, organically combine the key work of ecological protection and restoration, industrial ecological transformation and rural revitalization, accelerate the maximization of ecological, economic and social benefits, and make a blue sky of Qianshu Gate Screen." Lu Bin, Secretary of Daozhen County Party Committee, is full of confidence in ecological restoration.
