How much land area in Tibet is prohibited or restricted from development?

It was announced today (25th) that the development area in Tibet is prohibited or restricted to over 800,000 square kilometers, accounting for about 70% of the whole territory. Among them, on the land of 4 1 km2, 6 1 nature reserves have been built.

In recent years, Tibet has further improved its environmental protection system, and has successively promulgated and implemented more than 30 local laws and government regulations, such as Regulations on Environmental Protection in Xizang Autonomous Region, Regulations on Wetland Protection, Measures for Supervision and Management of Ecological Environmental Protection and Measures for Supervision and Management of Mineral Resources Exploration and Development. Projects with high environmental pollution risks such as steel, smelting, chemical industry and paper making are prohibited from entering Tibet, and the "one pen" examination and approval system for mineral resources development and the "one vote veto" system for environmental protection are strictly implemented. Tibet also regards the protection of ecological environment as one of the most important core indicators, and evaluates the performance of 74 county (district) governments in the region.

In order to properly handle the relationship between ecological protection and enriching the people and strengthening the people, Tibet has provided 700,000 ecological compensation posts to farmers and herdsmen. This year, the per capita annual subsidy standard for these posts will be raised to 3,000 yuan, so that hundreds of thousands of generations of farmers and herdsmen, hunters and loggers who live by mountains and rivers will be transformed into guardians of plateau ecology on the spot.

Starting from this year, Tibet will carry out ecological migration for families of farmers and herdsmen living in ecological functional zones above 4,500 meters above sea level. It is planned to relocate about 6,543,800+3,000 people in three years to make more room for the wild animals and plants on the roof of the world to grow freely.
