Adhere to "ecological priority and green development" in all localities and continue to write a new chapter in the concept of "two mountains"

  Beijing, August 14, 2005 According to the report of China Voice "National News Network" of the Central Radio and Television General Station, on August 15, 2005, when the then supreme leader of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee visited Yucun, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, he first proposed "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Nowadays, the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has become the consensus and action of the whole party and society, and has become an important part of the new development concept. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", all localities have actively practiced the ecological civilization thought of the supreme leader, adhered to ecological priority and green development, made great efforts to solve outstanding environmental problems, strengthened the protection of ecosystems, and continued to write a new chapter in the concept of "two mountains" in continuous practice.

  In September 2013, when the Supreme Leader answered students’ questions at Nazarbayev University, he explained the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets": "We want green mountains and green hills, but also Jinshan Yinshan. I would rather have green mountains and green hills than Jinshan Yinshan, and Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. "

  The concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" gives consideration to economy and ecology, development and protection, and provides important guidance for adhering to green development and building beautiful China in the new era.

  Do not exchange temporary economic growth at the expense of the environment, and do not take the old road of "pollution first, then treatment". In Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia, more than 60% of the area in the League has been designated as the red line of ecological protection, and no new mine development projects will be built on the grassland. By June 25th, 67 industrial and mining enterprises in six national nature reserves in Xilin Gol League had all closed down. Ma Weiguo, deputy director of the Natural Resources Bureau of Xilin Gol League, said: "According to ‘ If you are green, you will survive; if you are not green, you will retreat ’ It is required that by the end of 2023, all our production mines will meet the standards of green mines. "

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a number of systems, such as evaluation and assessment of ecological civilization construction objectives and accountability for ecological environmental damage, have been promulgated and implemented. The central eco-environmental protection inspector started the pilot project in 2015, and by 2018, it has achieved full coverage of routine inspectors in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and the role of the inspector’s sword has been effectively played.

  At the same time, in view of the ecological and environmental problems accumulated in China’s rapid development over the years, ecological restoration has been placed in a more prominent position in various places. In order to protect the ecological environment of the Yangtze River, from January 1 this year, 332 nature reserves and aquatic germplasm conservation zone in the Yangtze River basin were completely banned from productive fishing. The main stream of the Yangtze River, important tributaries and large Tongjiang lakes will be temporarily banned for 10 years from 0: 00 on January 1, 2021 at the latest.

  As the province with the longest mileage flowing through the main stream of the Yangtze River, Hubei has set up a file for all the more than 26,000 fishermen who have retired in the province to ensure the implementation of the no-fishing measures. Since July 1st this year, the Yangtze River has been closed to fishing for ten years in Jingzhou City. Bie Shaobo, deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Group of Jingzhou Agricultural and Rural Bureau, said: "The most important thing is to accurately set up files for these fishermen and transfer them to jobs for training, so that they can be reborn. We are determined to use the greatest strength and the most powerful measures to advance this work and achieve the goal we should achieve as soon as possible. "

  In the comprehensive experimental zone of marine ecological civilization of Long Island in Yantai, Shandong Province, the coastline ecology of Long Island has been gradually restored through measures such as vacating coastal aquaculture. At the same time, four state-level marine pastures and six provincial-level marine pastures will be built in Long Island, and the construction of marine pastures will create a "green water and green mountains" at sea, leading the marine fishery from the nearshore to the deep blue. Li Junjie, the full-time deputy secretary of the Working Committee of the Long Island Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Zone, said: "People have to be compensated for their investment in these areas. In addition, we should consider their changing jobs. What ordinary people used to raise seedlings led to the tourism industry and the cultivation of offshore seafood. We must protect the fruits of our ecological restoration and let the people feel happy living in Long Island. "

  In recent years, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, the first pilot city for economic transformation of resource-exhausted cities in China, has developed 12 theme racetracks of various types by using abandoned pits. The green development model of "ecological restoration+industry" makes the "urban scar" of Baili realize a gorgeous turn from black to green. From the end of 2018 to 2019, the newly-built Centennial International Circuit City has held six cross-country events and received more than 200,000 visitors. The bustling crowd has also brought a good life and new hope to the local people. Mr. Ma, a citizen, said: "The Gangzi Mountain in the past has now become an ecological park, with birds and flowers. The construction speed of the track city is particularly fast, and the surrounding facilities such as greening and roads are very good, as well as container hotels, which are fashionable and modern and more and more international. "

  Environment is people’s livelihood, green hills are beautiful, and blue sky is also happiness. Holding the green mountains and green hills, not only Jinshan Yinshan is harvested, but also the people’s hearts are full of sense of gain and happiness.

  In Chengdu, Sichuan, Tianfu Greenway, which has been built for more than 3,689 kilometers, has become the most inclusive livelihood project in the park city; In Hebi, Henan Province, the Qihe River scenic belt with a total length of about 6 kilometers has become a good place for citizens to relax; In Lanzhou, Gansu Province, the local government combined the Yellow River management with the improvement of people’s happiness index to create various landscape belts along the Yellow River. Chen Yifu, director of Lanzhou Natural Resources Bureau, said: "Increase public service facilities, make the Yellow River a happy river for the people, and build Lanzhou into a demonstration area for the high-quality development of the Yellow River and a pioneering area for ecological protection."

  In Zhongliao Village, a Li village in the north of Sanya, Hainan, the once unknown Zhongliao Village "Butterfly Change" is a well-known "star" village in Hainan. The villagers have a "tourist meal" at their doorstep and sing a happy song of the Liao people in the new era.

  At present, the national forest area has reached 220 million hectares, and the forest coverage rate is 22.96%. In the past 20 years, the new vegetation coverage area ranks first in the world. The number of cities with national air quality standards increased from 73 in 2015 to 157 in 2019. With the solid progress of ecological civilization construction, a beautiful new picture of China is slowly unfolding.
