Xinhua Full Media+丨 Qilian Mountain Waste Mining Pain Green Instant

Xinhua News Agency, Xining, July 17th (Reporters Zhou Shengsheng, Li Zhanyi, Li Jinfeng) In the midsummer in July, the clear Xiaobaibao River rushed out of the distant mountains. The ecological controller hugs and trace up along the river bank, bent over from time to time to pick up garbage, and talks about the changes in his hometown. He feels deeply.

Located in Qilian County, Qilian County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, it originated from the southern foot of Qilian Mountain. "Beginning in the 1970s, the mountains in our village have been mining asbestos. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer trees on the mountains, the pits are getting bigger and bigger. In order to increase income, the villagers work to work in the enterprise of improving asbestos." In the 1990s, Jiao Le also came to the mine to become a transport driver, driving a transport vehicle full of asbestos every day across the grassland on the river.

Over time, the wallet of the big guy drums, but the ruts on the grassland are getting deeper and deeper, and Xiao Babao River is becoming more and more turbid. In 2006, the mine stopped mining, and it became an abandoned mine, and a large amount of slag accumulated on the side of the river. "At that time, as long as it was windy, the air was full of dust. The river was piled up with slag, and the cattle and sheep had to drink water to the mountain spring two or three kilometers away." Herders clearly remembered the scene at the time.

Qilian Mountain is an important channel connecting the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau and the Hexi Corridor. It is an important water supply area in the Yellow River Basin. It is also a water -producing area for inland rivers and lakes such as Heihe and Qinghai Lake. It has important barriers to the northwestern region's water source and ecological safety. Due to long -term mining and excessive grazing, the fragmentation of the Qilian Mountain ecosystem is severely fragmented and the fragility has intensified.

Eating mountains is not a long -term strategy. How to better govern the abandoned mine in the southern foot of Qilian Mountain has become a problem in front of the local government. According to traditional ideas, the mines are governed by the natural resource department, and the small Babaohe ecological governance departments accumulated in the tailings are renovated by the surrounding grasslands. Yang Fucun, a cadre of the Pilot Project Office of the Shanshui Forest Tiantian Lake in Qilian County, said: "It is difficult for all departments to declare ecological restoration projects for a region at the same time, and they can only do their own."

In 2017, the Qilian Mountain Qinghai District was included in the country's first batch of ecological protection and restoration pilots in the national landscape, forests, and lakes. The total investment of 2 billion yuan to carry out a total of 134 sub -projects in four categories, including the improvement of water conservation function and the innovation of the ecological restoration system. Square kilometers.

In this context, the small eight treasures were included in the pilot, and the relevant departments invested more than 8.6 million yuan to repair the small eight gem cotton tailings, 431 acres of treatment area, and 431 mu.

River slag cleansing, slope construction of the river bank, "horse road" planting clouds and plants on the slopes of grass and green. It originally belonged to the ecological restoration projects of different departments. Through the overall industry standards and departmental coordination, it was unified on the small Babao waste asbestos. Design, construction, and acceptance to achieve integrated repair.

"The ecological protection and restoration of the mountains and rivers can integrate multi -department forces for integrated rectification." Said Liu Yonglu, a staff member of the Landscape Forest Lake Project Office of Qilian County.

Gradually, the villagers found that the air in the village became more and more fresh, more and more green trees on the mountains, and Xiao Babaohe also reproduced the rippling beauty. Nowadays, Jiao Le has also become an ecological controller in the village, which has realized the transformation from the mountain to the mountains to guard the mountains.

Little Eight Gem Semin Mine is a microcosm. In the pilot of the ecological protection and restoration of Shanshui Forest Lake in Qinghai District, Qilian Mountain, Menyuan Hui Autonomous County Matanggou area has no main sand and gravel field, Haixi Mongolian Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Tianjun County, Harahu River Lake District, Halahu Lake District, and other 2690 hectares The main mine left by history has been repaired. From the disorderly mining to the protection of the force, more "deformation" of the Qilian Mountain abandoned mine is continuously staged.

"Now, the villagers have begun to protect our hometown consciously. I believe that as long as everyone works together, our home will become more and more beautiful, and the days will be better!" Jiao Le said.
