Grasslands Of Inner Mongolia Desertification And Government Countermeasures Analysis

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, located in north of China, is the widest natural grassland resource of China. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region plays an important role in China's social and economic growth and environmental maintenance. It not only provides animal husbandry with excellent pasturage thus supplying the people with green foods but also acts as an irreplaceable member in maintaining soil and water, purifying the air, beautifying the environment, wind-fixing, maintaining biological diversity. Grassland is an important means of production on which people of minority group live on and also an important guarantee for the stability of our country borders and national unity.With the reform and opening up and rapid economic and social development, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In the economic development of Inner Mongolia, grasslands are not only improving the traditional mode of production of basic animal husbandry, but also is the important component in the utilization of mineral resources, development of tourist attractions .Inner Mongolia Prairie style will attract more developers to invest. This aspect of the Inner Mongolia grassland maybe is a historic opportunity. On the other hand, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia also face severe challenges. That is to say grassland ecological environment is deteriorating year by year to desertification. Because of the widespread benefits-driven irrational acts of activities, the bearing capacity of the grassland increases, damaging grassland ecology restore law and promoting the degree of grassland degradation and thus make the grassland the main birthplace of today's sandstorms and dust storms.Most articles study the desertification of grassland management, from the aspects of such subjects as prataculture, environment, ecology, agriculture, land, and new experience and new methods have been made mostly on technical level. On the contrary, the studies on the grassland desertification control policies and measures are very few; especially the researches from the perspective of government have lagged far behind. Overall, research on the Inner Mongolia grassland desertification control study is lack of comprehensive and systematic study, and still can not meet the requirements of socio-economic development and hasn't formed an effective unity policy system on how the government should cure the problem of grassland desertification.On the causes of desertification of Grassland in Inner Mongolia domestic experts and scholars agree that there are both natural factors and human factors. On an overview of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, its historical development and desertification status quo, the thesis points out both subjective and objective reasons: main subjective causes are the three benefit clusters: government, enterprises and individuals. Main objective reasons are natural disasters and culture loss. Further, it proposes the existing problems and deficiency in the process of desertification control: negative effects of grassland-related policy measures, misconduct of Grassland supervision and management, deep-rooted problems of the Government's Institutional mechanisms. Finally, it elaborates on the Government's lacking responsibilities during the process of grassland desertification control and its proper positioning and the exertion of its primary function.The thesis proposes countermeasures and suggestions on the government's policy on how to cure the problem of desertification on grassland. Firstly, advocate Grassland ecological culture by publicizing grassland culture and its status and function. Secondly, perfect the construction of grassland desertification control institution mainly through the implement of government's system of accountability and legal safeguard mechanism. Thirdly, complete the supporting measures of grassland desertification control system by enforcing the scientific and technological support to cope with natural disasters. Fourthly, promote the harmony relation between grassland desertification control, prevention, protection and exploitation. Increase the financial investment for desertification area; implement a mechanism for ecological compensation in the usable grassland areas; coordinate the grassland desertification control and industry restructuring reasonably to effectivelymitigate the contradiction between environment protection and economicdevelopment.
