What measures are there to control rocky desertification?

The control of rocky desertification must be multi-pronged, closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, afforestation in barren hills, returning farmland to forests, changing people's production and lifestyle, and implementing ecological migration. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate preferential support policies to encourage enterprises, institutions, individuals and non-public economic organizations to participate in rocky desertification control; Special attention should be paid to adjusting the energy structure in rocky desertification areas, speeding up the pace of rural energy construction and reducing the energy consumption of forest resources.

Rocky desertification is a unique ecological phenomenon of desertification in humid karst areas in southwest China, which is formed on the basis of fragile karst geology. Unreasonable human activities participate in the natural process of karst, resulting in vegetation degradation and soil and water loss, leading to a large area of exposed rocks, showing a land degradation phenomenon similar to desert landscape, which is the top performance of soil and water loss.

The control of rocky desertification should follow the principle of soil and water conservation and adapt to local conditions; Adhere to the comprehensive management of soil erosion as the core, improve the sustainable utilization rate of water and soil resources, and organically combine rocky desertification control with ecological projects such as returning farmland to forests, shelterbelts in the Yangtze River and Pearl River, soil and water conservation, drinking water for people and livestock, and poverty alleviation and development. He stressed that the prevention and control measures of rocky desertification should first be based on protecting the places where rocky desertification has not occurred in karst landform areas, preventing problems before they happen, and making great efforts to prevent the potential rocky desertification from continuing to deteriorate and evolve; In areas where rocky desertification has occurred, comprehensive management should be carried out to make them gradually develop into benign ones, with emphasis on mild and moderate rocky desertification.

Prevention and control of rocky desertification should be multi-pronged. For example, closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, afforestation in barren hills, returning farmland to forests, changing people's production and lifestyle, and implementing ecological migration; At the same time, it is necessary to formulate preferential support policies to encourage enterprises, institutions, individuals and non-public economic organizations to participate in rocky desertification control; Special attention should be paid to adjusting the energy structure in rocky desertification areas, speeding up the pace of rural energy construction and reducing the energy consumption of forest resources.

In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of rocky desertification, curb the spread trend of rocky desertification as soon as possible and improve the ecological environment in karst areas, the following countermeasures and measures need to be taken.

Strengthen leadership and responsibility. It is necessary to incorporate the prevention and control of rocky desertification into the local economic and social development plan and into the government affairs of local governments at all levels. To prevent and control rocky desertification, local governments should take overall responsibility, establish and improve the target responsibility system for the term of office of administrative leaders at all levels, and sign letters of responsibility as an important part of the performance evaluation of local administrative leaders at all levels.

Strengthen the legal system and strictly protect it. The prevention and control of rocky desertification should start from the source, adhere to prevention first and scientific management. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the legal system and strengthen law enforcement. Do first-hand management and expand forest and grass vegetation; Pay attention to protection, strict supervision, protect the existing forest and grass vegetation according to law, and prevent the emergence of new rocky desertification land.

Set up special and comprehensive management. The state should bring the prevention and control of rocky desertification into the overall framework of national ecological construction, formulate the project plan of rocky desertification prevention and control as soon as possible, arrange special funds and start the special project of rocky desertification prevention and control. On the basis of protecting the existing vegetation, we should take measures such as planting trees and grass, returning farmland to forests and grasslands on steep slopes, strengthening the construction of basic farmland and supporting small-scale water conservancy, actively developing rural energy, improving drinking water conditions for people and livestock in rural areas, and implementing ecological migration in areas without basic living conditions to comprehensively control and rapidly promote the prevention and control of rocky desertification.

Strengthen scientific and technological support and scientific prevention and control. The prevention and control of rocky desertification must rely on science and technology, and combine with the needs of prevention and control work, vigorously carry out scientific research and organize technical research. Vigorously promote the application of existing mature technologies and models, actively promote the application of new technologies, new methods and new processes, and carry out multi-level and multi-form scientific and technological training. In particular, strengthen the training of grass-roots scientific and technological personnel and farmers, so that the broad masses can master the basic knowledge and skills of preventing and controlling rocky desertification and improve the overall quality of managers.

Improve the monitoring system and implement dynamic monitoring. On the basis of this monitoring, strengthen the construction of rocky desertification monitoring system, implement a monitoring system with a period of five years, regularly monitor and master the status quo and dynamic trend of rocky desertification, make an objective evaluation of the progress and effectiveness of prevention and control work in time, and provide a basis for prevention and control decisions.
