After harmonious coexistence, natural resources protection and community economic development finally achieved "win -win"

Twenty years like a day's persistence

It is inseparable from personal efforts

It is also inseparable from the social responsibility of the enterprise

How can a tree enjoy a thousand years of life, grow to "its big cover thousands of cows, hundreds of wars, highlighted mountains, and ten branches"? "

In "Zhuangzi · World World", the answer is: useless.

"Everyone knows useful, and Mo Zhi is useless." This is a dialectical way of thinking, but in reality, there are many helplessness and sadness behind it.

This theory is at the level of today's wildlife, which is even more consistent. How to ensure the continuation of a wild animal? The best answer turned out to be: not delicious, not good -looking, meaningless, no effect ... In this way, in areas that are not used to fill hunger, you can preserve the population with "useless".

In recent years, under the rapid development of my country's transportation, there are fewer and fewer wild secrets that people cannot reach. But the more like this, the more people yearn for the secrets that coexist in harmony with nature, the people who live in the city for a long time and stay away from the mountain forest are curious and desire for everything in the natural ecology.

Huangshan, one of the top ten famous mountains in China, is a scenic spot since ancient times. Huangshan has both ancient mountains and rivers, and flowers, birds, and fish. But what is not known for most tourists is that here, there is a unique ecological secret.

The public welfare protection area of ​​Jiulongfeng, Huangshan, Anhui, is the first social welfare natural protection place in East China. It is also the only complete forest ecosystem in eastern China. The protection area is about 300 kilometers from Nanjing and 450 kilometers from Shanghai. Compared with the majority of nature reserves, transportation is extremely convenient. It is a niche secret in East China with a relatively large population density.

In recent years, with the continuous advancement of the relevant work of the public welfare protection place of Kowloon Peak Social Welfare, the results have achieved remarkable results. Not only are the forest ecosystems complete, but also protecting animals such as flat -breasted turtles, crab eater, gold sculptures, and sika deer for many years also appear frequently.

In such a well -known tourist area not far from the metropolis, it is almost a miracle to retain and continue ecological mystery. Behind the quiet years is because someone has been "moving forward."

Zhou Xiang, who had just been confused, had 20 years of work experience in China's environmental protection field. As the founder of Green Manchu Huai and the Taohuayuan Ecological Protection Foundation of Anhui, Zhou Xiang has been committed to ecological protection for many years, and has won various environmental protection awards many times. In 2021, the "Huangshan Kowloon Peak Ecological Experience Project" reported by the Lvshachi Natural Protection Center of Huangshan City, Huangshan City, won the 2021 "Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award" ecological tourism route award.

As an environmental protection guard who has been deeply cultivated for many years, Zhou Xiang and Ford Environmental Protection Award have been connected five times and spanned 17 years.

Environmental Guard, 20 years like one day

On September 14, Ford China officially opened the 2022 "Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award" ecological journey, and under the leadership of Zhou Xiang to the place where the "Huangshan Jiulong Peak Ecological Experience Project" was located to visit the "East China Species Gene Library" Ecological system protection work.

One month before the launch of the Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment just announced the "Outstanding List of Outstanding Cases of Biological Diversity in 2022". "The protection model realizes the" win -win "case of natural resources protection and community economic development, and has become one of the two outstanding selection cases in Anhui Province.

Nowadays, there are 35 national key protection animals in the protective area, including national first -level protection animals black sugar, white -necked long -tailed pheasant, Chinese pangolin, etc., national second -level protective animal Tibetan monkeys, Chinese rags, big sturgeon, white 鹇, etc. There are 50 species of key animals in Anhui Province, and 190 wild animals (three types of insects) in the country.

Such results are not easy. Over the years, the state and governments at all levels have been vigorously promoting ecological protection and biological diversity protection, and there are also many environmental pioneers like Zhou Xiang and the active participation and diversified exploration of multinational companies such as Zhou Xiang and Ford China. Starting from the "Anhui Green Manchu Huai" college student environmental protection organization, Zhou Xiang has been fighting the front line of ecological protection for 20 years, and he and Ford Motor Environmental Protection have also come here.

In 2004, Zhou Xiang's first phase of the "Anhui Green Man Jianghuai" project won the Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award "College Environmental Education Award" of the year; in 2011 and 2014, the Huaihe River Protection and Exchange Project of the Green Manchuria Environment Development Center in Anhui With environmental law, the local action project has won the Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award "Natural Environmental Protection-Third Prize of Pioneer Award"; in 2017, the Anhui Green Manchu Huai Environmental Development Center won the Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award "Annual Pioneer Award" ; In 2021, the Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award established the "Ecological Tourism Route Award", and Huangshan Kowloon Fengfeng Ecological Experience Project stood out and won the "Ecological Tourism Route Award Annual Winning Award".

Twenty years of persistence, there are both personal efforts and the social responsibility of the enterprise.

The "Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award" was launched in China in 2000. By the end of 2021, a total of 488 outstanding environmental protection projects or organizations had been funded, and a prize of 30.6 million yuan was awarded.

For more than two decades, the "Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award" has been unswervingly discovered, recognized, and supports excellent civil environmental protection forces. During this period, from the heroic dedication and dedication of one person, to a group of people who tried passionately, to the promotion of a group of organizational professionalization, the development of private environmental protection forces has entered a new stage of organizationalization and professionalization. Since the launch of the Ford's Environmental Protection Award in China, it has provided support and funding for many environmental protection guards and environmental protection organizations like Zhou Xiang.

"In the past 22 years, Ford Motors has unswervingly support and encourages the cutting -edge practices of environmental protection public welfare groups and individuals, and upholds the vision of creating a" better world ", which highlights the social responsibility of enterprises for environmental protection and sustainable development." Ford Automobile (China) Co., Ltd. President and CEO Chen Anning said: "By continuously setting up the Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award-Ecological Tourism Route Award", we will carry out an ecological journey to further popularize this innovative and environmentally friendly lifestyle to the public, and and and and. Injecting ecological and environmental awareness into people's daily life is imperative. "

After more than two decades of deep cultivation of environmental protection volunteers from all walks of life, it finally has the innovative development of ecological protection today.

Zhou Xiang's "Green Manchu Huai", with the support of the Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award for many years, has gone from university to society and has more room for development.

In 2018, the People's Government of Huangshan District and the Shenzhen Taohuayuan Public Welfare Protection Foundation signed the "Anhui Huangshan Jiulong Peak Provincial Nature Reserve Entrusted Management Agreement" to obtain 50 years of commissioned management rights for the Kowloon Peak Protection Land. Then, the Taohuayuan Foundation and "Anhui Lvmanhuaihuai" collaborated on the establishment of the Lvshachi Nature Protection Center of Huangshan District, Huangshan City, and jointly carried out forest ecosystem protection management with the Jiulong Peak Reserve Management Station. In the same year, the Taohuayuan Public Welfare Foundation East China Branch invested in the establishment of Huangshan Qianbird Valley Ecological Technology Co., Ltd. to implement the task of industrial development. Huangshan Jiulongfeng Nature Reserve Management Station on behalf of the government exercise supervision and coordination and management functions.

In the past four years, the management station, protection center, and Qianbird Valley company "three driving carriages" co -worked together to accompany the team, grasp the mechanism, invest, and innovate. The new way to protect and shared the "new way to protect and develop coordinated and advanced.

Today, the results of the "government -led and participating in various parties" have gradually appeared. An average annual reception of public welfare activities and exchanges and observation of 18 games, carried out 300 people in environmental education activities, and received support for 12 million netizens across the country and support of 4 million yuan. The three natural villages such as Shangling, Da Tong, and the Huangshan State -owned Forest Farm Yanghu Pipe Pipeline and Protection Zone with the surrounding surrounding areas of the protection relationship of joint prevention and joint control areas.

The "Kowloon Peak Model", which participated in the protection of biological diversity, was also selected as outstanding cases of social organizations in the "Anhui Provincial Forestry System Demonstration Case" and the COP15 conference initiated by the Ministry of Ecological Environment.

Harmony and coexistence, from destroyers to protectors

As a new model of nature reserve management with demonstration effects, the "Kowloon Peak Model" is receiving widespread attention from all walks of life. After all, whether it is a niche ecological mystery that is close to the metropolis and convenient transportation, or as the "East China Species Gene Library", the Jiulong Peak Reserve must realize the harmonious coexistence of people and wild animals and plants. difficult.

In fact, before the establishment of a protective area, the people in the Jiulong Peak Reserve frequently had frequent activities and the natural forests around the protected area were seriously crushed, which made it quite difficult for ecological protection to carry out. In particular, a large number of residents are distributed around the protection ground. They have few per capita farmland and low per capita income level. Therefore, for many years, tea, agricultural planting, wild collection and hunting have been an integral part of the local residents' income sources, but as we all know, wild collection and hunting are not conducive to the protection of resource protection in the protected area.

It is for this reason that although many measures have been adopted, due to the lack of protected areas, funds, and technical power, theft and stealing incidents still occur from time to time.

In response to these issues, the "government -led and participating in various parties" has gradually developed in the Kowloon Peak Reserve of Huangshan. Based on the local ecological protection of the Kowloon Peak Reserve of Huangshan, through the continuous protection of the environment through the daily environment, the participation of communities and enterprises around the protection place is actively promoted, and it is innovative and explored a government supervision, social organization management, and enterprise participating in community assistance. New models of protection areas of protection, design the rich ecological resources into natural education courses and ecological experience routes that attract public participation, and hire villagers of surrounding communities as guides, administrators, and patrolmen to improve the economic development and of the local community Residents' income level.

In this way, the Kowloon Fengfeng patrol team of the surrounding villagers can not only better complete daily supervision and field patrol monitoring work, but also promote local residents to actively participate in protecting the ecological environment. It is also conducive to replace economic development. In addition, relying on the geographical advantages of its own geographical location and the abundant conditions of surrounding tourism resources, the protected area develops the surrounding characteristic natural experience lines, and develops ecological friendly agricultural products to help surrounding residents to achieve poverty alleviation.

Today, the Kowloon Peak Reserve is still insisting on exploring the autonomous and sustainable operation model of the protected area, developing characteristic homestays in the community, and driving community residents to establish a diversified environment -friendly industrial ecosystem.

When the destroyer becomes a protector, when ecological protection brings replaceable and sustainable sources of income to community residents, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is logical, and the virtuous cycle is perfectly realized.

The balance between humans and wild movements and plants is so delicate and rare.

Today, the Kowloon Fengfeng Reserve is also actively developing ecological tourism. The participants of the Ford Motor Environmental Prize Award Ecological Tour are under the leadership of ecological tourism experts and local villagers. Observe wild and plants in Yanghu Protection, learn the knowledge of survival and rescue in the wild, and understand the must -have skills of patrol guards; conduct a stream experience in the Jiulong Peak Protective Land, observe local specialty protection animals such as Dache, spiny chest frogs, and in the Kowloon Peak Building the original ecological trail locally in the protective area, providing a safe and convenient channel for daily patrol and tea garden maintenance.

In addition, the Ford Motor awarded the "Ford Motor Environmental Prize Award Ecological Tour Recommended Self -Driving Experience Project" to attract more public participation.

Ecological tourism, as a emerging branch in the field of environmental protection, is a new way to travel to promote ecological protection with tourism and promote tourism with ecological protection. Ecological tourism is aimed at protecting the natural environment and biological diversity and maintaining the sustainable development of resources. Through the purpose of organizing visitors to protect the area to protect the natural environment and history and culture, it will not destroy nature. Protecting economic revenue in natural resources.

This is also the significance of the Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award in 2021. Last year, a total of five excellent ecological tourism projects were selected. Including the projects, these five projects have attracted more than 30,000 tourists since the development, which has brought more than 3 million yuan in income to the community, driving nearly a thousand people in the project to participate in ecological tourism services.

In fact, in the past two decades, the "Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award" has been constantly exploring and adjusting the reward, actively responding to the key issues and urgent needs in the development of folk environmental protection forces. place.

In 2022, the "Ford Automobile Environmental Protection Award" will, as always, support China's civil environmental protection forces, and provide non -limited funding for the "Annual Contribution Award" for the environmental protection social organizations with outstanding results in the previous year; Participating in ecological tourism projects; newly set up "Climate Change Action Awards", encouraging environmental public welfare projects that have played practical role in slowing down, adapting to climate change, and large -scale low -carbon lifestyle.

At the level of ecological protection, both individuals and enterprises, decades of persistence and actions, just like the original intention of the Ford Environmental Protection Award at the beginning- "creating a better world."
