Winter is the best time for bird watching. Many birdwatchers traveled long distances, not afraid of wet and cold, and set up "long guns and short guns" in the wetland of East Dongting Lake, just to see the style of wintering waterfowl in the distance.
The branches of the lake are vertical and horizontal, the beaches are exposed, the water plants are spread freely, and waterfowl swim in groups. From time to time, a few suddenly flapped their wings and soon soared in the air. The vast world, the combination of dynamic and static, this harmonious and symbiotic natural landscape, attracted the shutter sound non-stop.
"A few years ago, there were only 120,000 birds. In the past two years, the observation data showed that there were more than 170,000 birds, and there were more and more rare birds." Zhang Hong, deputy director of the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve Administration, became more and more excited.
These growing figures have become a vivid footnote for the ecological improvement of Dongting Lake, the "kidney of the Yangtze River". From January 2016 to January 2018, the whole two years, although only a small wave in the long river of history, are enough to become a scale, indicating that beautiful China is climbing to a new height.
"To promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, take the road of ecological priority and green development, and make the green mountains and green mountains produce great ecological, economic and social benefits, so that the mother river will always be full of vitality." Implementing the requirements of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the basic strategy of "adhering to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature" established by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River are clear and consistent in their ideological understanding, and they are United in tackling difficulties, pushing forward a chess game in practical actions and accelerating the opening of a new voyage of the mother river of the Chinese nation.
Establish a new concept of ecological priority
Clear thinking and unity of mind
79 billion yuan of projects, all rejected?
"The EIA has not passed, and it has no feelings. One vote is rejected, and none is needed." Li Faping, deputy director of the Office of the Management Committee of Chongqing Changshou Economic and Technological Development Zone, said categorically.
Two years ago, as soon as the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was put forward, many people instinctively thought of "large-scale engineering construction". In their view, this economic belt, which accounts for about 1/5 of the land area, will surely lay out more projects and parks and set up factories.
"At present and for a long time to come, we should put the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, work together for great protection and not engage in great development." At the symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary were inspiring.
"The general secretary spoke very thoroughly and accurately. He caught the focus and got the pulse right. It is time for the Yangtze River to take a breath." Hu Zhongxiong, secretary of Yueyang Municipal Committee of Hunan Province, has been in Changde City and Yiyang City in Dongting Lake area, and he is familiar with the present situation of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.
Due to serious pollution, Hunan people "guard a lake with no water to drink". From a painful experience, Du Jiahao, secretary of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, bluntly said that we must resolutely abandon the extensive development mode of blindly pursuing GDP growth and paying heavy environmental costs in the past, and we must establish a new concept of calculating big accounts, long-term accounts, overall accounts, comprehensive accounts, ecological priority and green development.
Development view, correction and correction; Develop ideas, clear and clear — — Eleven provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have launched a tough battle for ecology, and at the same time, they have also launched a tough battle for establishing new ideas ideologically.
Three months ago, in Anhui Province, a three-day training attracted people’s attention. The theme of the training is "Implementing the Development Strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt", and the target is the executive vice mayor of each city, the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Hefei and five cities along the Yangtze River, and the main responsible comrades of counties and districts.
Trained cadres have reported that the most frequently mentioned words in the three-day lectures by expert leaders are "ecology" and "green"; What impressed me the most was that "thinking has changed", and industrial development is no longer "finding dishes in the basket".
In November, 2017, Hunan Province held a video conference of five-level cadres in provinces, cities, counties and villages to re-mobilize, re-deploy and further promote the environmental improvement of Dongting Lake. At the meeting place, a feature film "Dream Back to the Eight Hundred Li Dongting" was broadcast, which triggered a heated discussion: the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt with the guidance of joint protection and no development. How to create a high-quality development path in the reproduction of "and a mist from the Yun and Meng valleys"?
In 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, the broad masses of cadres and the masses often think of "joint protection, no development" and the dialectics of "green mountains and green hills" and "Jinshan Yinshan" to rebuild the ecology of the Yangtze River.
Stand on a new height of sustainable development
Overcome difficulties and condense into one strength
Standing in Yujiatou River Beach, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, looking from the river water to the river bank, it is empty. Several machines are under intense construction, pushing the earth to restore green.
"This emptiness is hard to come by." Sun Kai, director of Wuchang District Environmental Protection Bureau, said with emotion. The scene of the past was simply unbearable: a pile of sand, littered barges, illegal buildings everywhere, and enclosed vegetable fields … … The dirty environment and serious ecological damage to the beach once became the heart of the environmental protection department.
What worries liuyong, director of Yujiatou Waterworks, is that the center of the river, 1000 meters offshore, is the three water intake pipes of the Waterworks. In his words, in this first-class water source protection zone, the problem of safe drinking water for more than 1 million people is simply "walking a tightrope".
Such an illegal dock is not a case along the Yangtze River coastline. The turning point of change is that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader convened a symposium to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Since March 2016, 11 provinces and cities have made heavy attacks and carried out special rectification actions such as illegal docks and illegal sand mining. According to statistics, up to now, 959 illegal docks like Yujiatou have been banned along the Yangtze River.
These docks have existed for many years. "Behind a dock and a sand yard, there are real money and silver interests." Sun Kai shook his head, wondering how difficult it is to move other people’s cheese. Various historical reasons are complicated, and each one is a hard bone.
At Yujiatou Wharf, shipyards, ports and sand yards in the region involve 15 main units of the central government in Han, provincial and municipal governments. "How can you move it with only one district government?"
Difficult to return to difficult. Wuhan only fought a hard battle for 57 days, and then all the coastline along the river was regained.
Such a hard bone, why can you chew it down today?
"The past is ‘ Loud thunder and little rain ’ Knocking and beating in bits and pieces, this action is different from the past, taking advantage of the thunder, moving the real thing and seeking practical results. " Liu Xinhua, deputy director of the Wuhan Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that the key lies in the strength that must be overcome from the central government to the local government.
Just last October, Chaohu Lake, Anhui Province caught all the fish in cages that brought the harm of cyanobacteria. "The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that we must establish and practice the concept of Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Only by restoring green mountains and green hills can green mountains and green hills become Jinshan Yinshan. " Tang Yong, deputy director of Chaohu Administration Bureau, said, "In order to leave a lake of clear water for future generations, no matter how big the resistance is, it must be removed."
Remediation of illegal docks along the line, relocation or closure of chemical enterprises along the line, comprehensive suspension of natural forests, restoration of black and odorous water bodies, and ecological restoration of wetlands & HELIP; … A series of ultimate revenge’s efforts to overcome difficulties are bringing new vitality and vigor to the Mother River.
Dare to chew hard bones, not only for the problems that are visible and have outstanding symptoms, but also for the invisible and deep-seated articles — — Along the Yangtze River, we will accelerate the construction of the strictest system of "no pollution, no pollution" and vow to return beauty to the Yangtze River.
Twenty-five counties (cities) in Guizhou, which are included in national key ecological function area, have established a negative list system for industrial access, while Hunan has cancelled the per capita GDP assessment for 79 restricted development counties in the province, and Hefei has included the assessment of ecological civilization construction in the cadre performance assessment system … …
To protect the ecological environment, establish a unified market and speed up the transformation of mode and structure, we should use "quick thinking" and add; Scientific use of water resources, optimization of industrial layout, overall planning of port shoreline resources and arrangement of some major investment projects require "slow thinking" and sometimes subtraction — — The road to the transformation of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is unprecedented in its determination and strength.
Form a new pattern of joint management
Take action to advance a game of chess.
Since 2016, I feel that my work rhythm has obviously accelerated and my work intensity has obviously increased. Three years ago, the Dongting Lake Ecological Economic Zone was approved, and the Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission set up a special Dongting Lake office, with the Cultural Association as the director.
The environmental management of Dongting Lake is not the responsibility of the National Development and Reform Commission alone, but involves many departments such as environmental protection, water conservancy and forestry. Provincial leaders are responsible, the National Development and Reform Commission only takes the lead, and all departments have an orderly division of labor — — This paper describes the working structure of Dongting Lake governance. Through the words in the forum, it can be seen that the key to realize the "common protection" of the Yangtze River Economic Belt lies in "common".
The Yangtze River takes water as a link, connecting the upstream and downstream, the left and right banks, and the main tributaries, forming a large economic and social system. Only by forming a pattern of joint management can its ecological construction treat both the symptoms and the root causes.
In the past two years, top-level design has been intensively introduced, and its guidance has become stronger and stronger — —
In May 2016, the Outline of the Development Plan of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was issued, which is the first regional development strategy in China with ecological civilization and green development as the primary principles.
In July 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other departments issued the "Ecological Environment Protection Plan for the Yangtze River Economic Belt", which put forward more detailed and quantitative objectives and tasks from the aspects of water resources utilization, water ecological protection, environmental pollution control and river basin risk prevention and control.
According to the National Development and Reform Commission, 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have initially delineated the red line of ecological protection, and at the same time, the trial evaluation of the resources and environmental carrying capacity of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is about to be completed.
In the past two years, the cooperation between the provincial and municipal governments in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has been frequent, and the synergy has become greater and greater — —
In December 2016, the inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was established.
In June 2017, the first joint meeting of inter-provincial consultations in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was held in Chongqing, and the four provinces and cities of Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou reviewed and approved the Implementation Rules for the Inter-provincial Consultation and Cooperation Mechanism in the Upper Reaches of the Yangtze River.
Hubei, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces are strengthening cooperation in lake protection and ecological restoration, and jointly enforcing laws to crack down on illegal wharf construction, illegal sand mining and illegal fishing in the main stream of the Yangtze River.
In the past two years, the Yangtze River has gradually become a chess game — — The "green" Yangtze River, rushing under the guidance of new ideas, has become a highlight in the new era. The data shows that in the first three quarters of 2017, the excellent proportion of water quality in the Yangtze River Basin reached 77.3%, 2.5 percentage points higher than the same period in 2016.
But the mighty Yangtze River, gorgeous turn is not a temporary achievement — —
At the end of the Yangtze River, the latest data on the water quality of Zhoushan coastal waters in Zhejiang Province were obtained. Hong Zhibiao, deputy director of Zhoushan Environmental Protection Bureau, said that phosphorus and nitrogen remained high. "The ecological construction of the Yangtze River still needs a long time."
