Core Viewpoint - The 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party emphasizes the importance of strengthening ecological security barriers, particularly in the Sanjiangyuan region, which is crucial for global highland ecological governance [1][3]. Group 1: Ecological Protection Measures - The Sanjiangyuan region, known as the "Water Tower of China," relies on glaciers as a significant water source, with the Animaqing Mountain providing approximately 35% of the water supply for the upper reaches of the Yellow River [2][3]. - Various measures are being implemented to protect glaciers, including three-dimensional glacier monitoring and artificial snow enhancement, which have effectively slowed down glacier melting [4][5]. - The local monitoring team, formed by herders, has been measuring glacier snow lines since 2008, utilizing advanced techniques such as satellite remote sensing and drone photography for comprehensive monitoring [4][5]. Group 2: Restoration of Degraded Land - The restoration of black soil wastelands is critical for water conservation and grassland ecology, with over 516.64 million acres of degraded grasslands being rehabilitated in Guoluo Prefecture [6][7]. - The ecological restoration of the Delni Copper Mine has been recognized as a model case, with efforts to restore vegetation and soil to retain water effectively [6][7]. - The project initiated in 2022 for water source conservation and grassland ecological protection is currently in its second phase, with ecological compensation funds playing a significant role [7]. Group 3: Wetland Restoration - Guoluo Prefecture has implemented a coordinated restoration approach for grasslands, watersheds, and wetlands, resulting in an increase in the number of lakes from 4,000 to over 5,800 [8]. - The wetland restoration project aims to recover 1200 hectares of wetlands, which is expected to increase water flow into tributaries of the Yellow River by 15% [8]. - The average annual growth rate of water source conservation in the Sanjiangyuan National Park has exceeded 6% over the past five years, with water quality at the Guoluo exit of the Yellow River maintained at Class I [8].
