What efforts has Yongding County made in protecting the ecological environment?

The implementation of soil and water conservation and ecological restoration in Shixian Township has achieved results. The former Bald Mountain is now green.

There used to be more than 120 "bald mountains" in Shixian Township, Yongding County. In recent years, through the comprehensive control of soil erosion mainly based on coal, 654.38+ 10,000 mu of mountains have been closed for afforestation. Now, there are lush trees in the mountain area, the forest coverage rate has increased from 43% before treatment to 63% now, and the fruit output has increased from less than 10 ton to 23,300 tons now.

In the past, due to natural factors and unreasonable human activities, Yongding County became one of the counties with serious soil erosion in western Fujian, among which Shixian Township wore the "red hat" of "the second river field in western Fujian". For this reason, Yongding County adopts an efficient eco-agricultural development model combining agriculture and forestry, planting and breeding, agriculture and animal husbandry, courtyard economy and field production, comprehensively plans, manages and develops mountains, fields, water, forests and roads, stops reclamation, returns farmland to forests and small watersheds, enhances the soil and water conservation performance of the land, and protects the ecological environment. Especially in August 2002, Yongding County was listed as a national pilot county for ecological restoration of soil and water conservation by the Ministry of Water Resources. Taking this opportunity, Yongding County has issued a relatively perfect policy of enclosure and protection, and comprehensively implemented comprehensive prevention and control measures for soil erosion in pilot areas such as Shixian Township, mainly by closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, supplemented by artificial means, and making full use of ecological and natural restoration capacity to achieve the effect of controlling soil erosion with the least amount of money. In addition to providing seedlings free of charge, more than 50 mu of trees were planted in that year, and the forestry department subsidized 50 yuan per mu; In addition to providing free technical drawings for biogas digester construction, the agricultural sector subsidizes the volume per cubic meter 100 yuan; For natural villages with less than 100 people and poor natural ecological conditions, the government will make unified planning and provide land free of charge, with a subsidy of 1000 yuan per person.
