Core Viewpoint - During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China has made significant progress in grassland protection and restoration, leading to a historic improvement in the ecological quality of grasslands, with a reduction in degraded grassland area and an increase in healthy grassland coverage [1][2]. Group 1: Grassland Protection and Restoration Efforts - China has been actively promoting grassland restoration, reducing the area of degraded grasslands by nearly 28 million acres over the past five years, with an average annual control of harmful grassland organisms exceeding 10 million acres [2]. - The ecological status of grasslands has improved, with comprehensive vegetation coverage maintained at over 50%, and specific regions like the Keshiketeng Banner are witnessing a resurgence of sparse tree grassland landscapes [2]. - The government has maintained a strong regulatory stance against grassland destruction, with nearly 30,000 cases of grassland damage investigated and over 1,000 criminal cases referred to judicial authorities [2]. Group 2: Development of Modern Grass Industry - Over the past five years, China has expanded the scale of grass seed production, establishing 600,000 acres of grass seed breeding bases, with the annual supply capacity of perennial ecological grass seeds reaching 25,000 tons [2]. - The country is accelerating the construction of a modern forage industry system, promoting the development of grassland parks, state-owned grasslands, and red grasslands to foster integrated growth in the modern grass industry [2][3]. - Future efforts will focus on integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and deserts, with an emphasis on sustainable grassland protection and restoration [3].
