economic structure and optimizing industrial upgrading, and environmental safety
seen as an important guarantee for maintaining social stability, achieving harmony
in society, and advancing green development.
The second is to work hard to develop a circular economy and green industries. It is
necessary to construct 7 circular economical bases, nurture 16 circular economic and
industrial chains, and strive to form circular economic and industrial clusters. What’s
more, we should promote a loop-type production method and accelerate the formation
of a loop-type system entailing industry, agriculture, and service industry. Finally, we
should closely follow the Belt and Road Initiative, develop green industries based on
clean energy, characteristic agriculture, ecological and cultural red tourism, modern
logistics and service industries, in line with local resource advantages and actual
conditions.
The third is to implement a strategy focusing on environmental protection and
resource conservation. For one thing, it is necessary to identify the key points of
ecological construction and environmental protection based on the climatic characteristics and ecological conditions of different regions in Gansu, and the main
functional area planning. The west focuses on controlling wind and sand hazards and
speeding up ecological restoration, the central region on comprehensive management
and increasing vegetation coverage, the east on curbing soil erosion and developing
ecological industries, and the south on strengthening ecological restoration and developing industries with local characteristics. For another, it is necessary to adhere to
the marketization of resource development, the industrialization of resource application, the maximization of resource benefits, and the continuity of resource utilization,
abandon sloppily expansion, and strengthen concentrated mining.
The fourth is to develop industries around water conservation. It is necessary to
adopt the most stringent system of managing water resources, and rationally allocate
water resources to agriculture, industries, and ecological conservation according
to “uniform discharging, quota management, paid use, and market regulation” for
surface water and groundwater to ensure the basic water volume for maintaining the
ecological environment of regions and river basins.
2. Gansu should focus on the following four aspects in promoting ecological
construction and protection
The first is to work harder to conserve water in the Qilian Mountains. Gansu should
also speed up its ecological conservation plan to protect its forests, grasslands,
wetlands, deserts and other ecosystems, as well as wildlife and foliage to help protect
the nature reserve.
The second is to accelerate the comprehensive management of the catchments
of the Shiyang River, Ruo Shui, and the Shule River. It is necessary to adopt a
project for controlling sand and restoring ecology in areas along the Shiyang River,
strengthen the construction of the Ruo Shui wetland nature reserve, and rationally
use water resources, and advance ecological protection in Dunhuang. Gansu should
actively facilitate a project for controlling desertization and salinization in the three
