The Land Of Change And The Dwelling Of Nature

Evenki Autonomous Banner located in a forest-grass transitional zone, northeast of Inner Mongolia. In recent years, with the work of land property ownership being carried out, and the launching project of ecological protection, the dispute of forest-grass contradiction become more serious. This article attempts to depend on the dimensions of property rights and ecological governance to figure out the contradiction’s concept, reasons, concrete manifestations and solutions. Combined with researching previous references and experiencing local circumstances, this article believes that the forest-grass contradiction is the result of segmentational ecological governance, overlapping property rights, data and policy islands, which all led to the forest-grass resources misallocation and governance dilemma.Institutional change is a microcosm of history reform, but also the best starting researching point for the local forest-grass production and ecologic pattern. This paper reviews the local forest and grasslands’ property changes respectively and further analysis the plight of the state system in terms of ownership, and thus derive the current forest, grass property policy issues unembedment for three dimensions:ecological integrity and property exclusiveness; the protect-oriented ecological governance and the market-oriented property rights reform; groups in conflict within the various policies circumstances. In addition, after comparing the policies preferences of forest and grassland, this article hold that in the contradiction, the forest industry has more advantages over the grassland industry.In the end, this paper attempts to use Ostrom’s "public-pool resource theory" to find the contradiction’s solutions which is outside the government control and beyond the market profit purpose, looking for the possible solvent of multi-center independent governance. Overall, expectations to solve this problem are threefold in turn reforms:first, to clarify property rights authority; the second is to restore the grass-roots communities’independent multi-center governance abilities; the third is the ecological environment improvement under the two conditions achieved.Through analysis and reflection, this paper holes that ecological governance is bound to be a failure in the property blurred background. Even though there is a expanded digital growth proved the ecological government’s value, but it is the program itself dispel the original cultural concept of "Nature". In the land change process, on the poverty reduction stage, the purpose of economic reform is to allow the natural resources to meet human lower survival needs, while on the ecological management stage, it is actually a requirement of human society and nature to maintain an appropriate separation. The programs carried in the forest-grass domain aggravates the issue of public interest departmentalization which to the local habitants, it means remold their lifestyle, to the nature, standardized management reshaping the landscape to unnatural habitats, isolated weak secondary forests in row, criss-cross vegetation decline and flourish in barbed fence net.
