Weiyuan County is located in the central part of Gansu Province, southwest of Dingxi City, and at the intersection of hilly and gully region of Loess Plateau and West Qinling Mountains. It is the birthplace of Weihe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River, and the watershed of Weihe River and Taohe River. It has obvious continental monsoon climate, complex climate types and diverse landform types, including forest ecosystem, grassland ecosystem, wetland ecosystem, farmland ecosystem and so on. At present, the total amount of forest ecosystem in the county is small, the structure is single and the human disturbance is great; The grassland ecosystem is fragile, the species of animals and plants are scarce, the structure is single, the food chain is too simple, and the ecosystem service function is low; Wetland ecosystem is small in scope, mostly rivers and reservoirs and fish ponds; The structure of farmland ecosystem is simple, and the economic development is lagging behind. Although the development of potato, Chinese herbal medicine, livestock and grass and other advantageous industries has achieved certain results, there are some problems such as low level of industrial management, small scale and low efficiency. Although tourism resources are abundant, the market operation level is not high and the infrastructure construction is not perfect; Urban ecosystem has high energy, high density, large flow, fast operation and weak self-regulation ability. In short, in order to accelerate the leap-forward development of Weiyuan county's economy, we must have a good ecological environment atmosphere.
around the spirit of the document jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Forestry Administration, the county party committee and the county government seized this rare historical opportunity and set up a leading group for the construction of pilot counties of ecological civilization demonstration projects in time, with the main leaders of the county as members. Established a careful management system. Determined to improve the quality of the ecological environment, build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society as the goal, comprehensively implement the sustainable development strategy, follow the ecological law and the concept of circular economy, grasp the three major points of environmental protection, ecological construction and circular economy, strengthen the protection and construction of the ecological environment, adjust the industrial structure, change the development mode and optimize the consumption mode as the fundamental means, implement the development concept of "environment promotes economy, economy protects environment", and accelerate the development of industries with distinctive advantages. Actively advocate green consumption, continuously enhance the carrying capacity of resources and environment, gradually form an ecological culture of harmonious development between man and nature, cultivate an economic development model with ecological economy as the main body, establish perfect rules and regulations to protect natural ecological security, and create a new situation of economic development, affluent life, good ecology and social civilization in Weiyuan County.
the construction of ecological civilization mainly focuses on five aspects: the protection and construction of ecological environment, the adjustment of industrial structure, the transformation of development mode, the optimization of consumption mode, and the construction of ecological culture system and ecological civilization construction support system.
1 ecological protection and construction
eleven townships such as Beizhai Town and Da 'an Township and three state-owned forest farms, namely Huichuan, Wuzhu and Lianfeng, implemented the ecological vegetation restoration project of Weihe River source forest, followed the principle of suitable site and suitable trees, and selected dominant afforestation species such as spruce, larch, seabuckthorn and Caragana korshinskii to carry out large-scale forest vegetation restoration and management in Weiyuan County. The main implementation projects included artificial afforestation and closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation. In order to better protect the ecological environment, the county has strengthened the management and protection of forest and grass resources, carried out closing hillsides to prohibit grazing and grazing, advocated the development of house-feeding breeding, carried out comprehensive prevention and control of forest fire and real-time monitoring of forest pests to ensure the safety of forest and grass resources.
