Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the transformation of a coal mining subsidence area in Inner Mongolia into a thriving ecological and economic zone through the implementation of a photovoltaic power generation and ecological restoration project, demonstrating a successful model for sustainable development in similar regions [1][5]. Group 1: Project Overview - The ecological restoration and photovoltaic power generation project began in 2018, covering 71,000 acres of subsidence land, with 42,000 acres prioritized for high-standard ecological restoration [3][5]. - The project has increased the vegetation coverage from 19% to over 60%, with the number of plant species rising to 103, turning previously barren land into productive resources [5]. Group 2: Economic Impact - Local villagers have benefited economically, with individuals earning between 50,000 to 60,000 yuan annually from participating in grass planting and maintenance activities [5]. - Approximately 450 households, or about 1,200 villagers, receive nearly 1,000 yuan each per year in land transfer fees, illustrating the project's positive impact on local livelihoods [5]. Group 3: Broader Implications - The "photovoltaic + ecological restoration" model is being replicated across Inner Mongolia, contributing to desertification control and ecological restoration in various regions [6][8]. - In 2024, Inner Mongolia aims to complete 19.54 million acres of desertification control, accounting for 45.8% of the national task for the "Three North" project [8]. - The synergy between clean energy production and ecological restoration creates a sustainable cycle, enhancing both environmental and economic outcomes [8].

Core Viewpoint - The transformation of coal mining subsidence areas in Inner Mongolia into ecological and economic benefits through the integration of photovoltaic power generation and ecological restoration is highlighted as a successful model for sustainable development [1][3][5]. Group 1: Project Overview - The ecological restoration and photovoltaic power generation demonstration project began in 2018, covering 71,000 acres of subsidence land, with 42,000 acres prioritized for high-standard ecological restoration [3]. - The project has successfully increased vegetation coverage from 19% to over 60%, with the number of plant species rising to 103 [5]. - This initiative is recognized as Inner Mongolia's first "coal mining subsidence area + ecological restoration + photovoltaic power generation" demonstration project [5]. Group 2: Economic Impact - Local villagers have benefited economically, with individuals earning between 50,000 to 60,000 yuan annually from participating in grass planting and vegetation maintenance [5]. - Approximately 450 households, or about 1,200 villagers, receive nearly 1,000 yuan each per year in land transfer fees [5]. - The project has transformed previously uninhabitable land into valuable resources, enhancing local livelihoods [5]. Group 3: Broader Implications - The "photovoltaic + desertification control" model is being implemented across Inner Mongolia, contributing to ecological restoration and sustainable energy production [6]. - In 2024, Inner Mongolia aims to complete 19.54 million acres of desertification control, accounting for 45.8% of the national task for the "Three-North" project [8]. - The integration of clean energy production and ecological restoration creates a sustainable cycle, demonstrating that ecological protection and economic development can coexist [8].
