Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the significant role of grasslands in maintaining national ecological security and highlights the historical progress made in grassland ecological protection in China over the past six years, despite ongoing challenges in restoration and degradation issues [1]. Grass Seed Industry Development - Grass seeds are crucial for national greening and high-quality grassland agriculture. The government is implementing a seed industry revitalization action plan, establishing a grass seed resource preservation system with one central repository and 20 resource nurseries [3][4]. - The National Forestry and Grassland Administration has initiated a national survey of grass seed resources and established a variety approval system, with nearly 60,000 acres of grass seed breeding bases expected to produce 25,000 tons of quality local grass seeds annually by the end of 2024 [4][5]. - The dependency on foreign grass seeds remains high, particularly for ecological restoration. The government aims to increase the domestic self-sufficiency rate of grass seeds for ecological restoration and forage to 75% by 2030 [5]. Resource Utilization and Management - The National Forestry and Grassland Administration is optimizing the approval process for grassland use in mining and construction projects, reducing average processing time by five working days [7]. - Policies are being implemented to promote the use of degraded grasslands for solar energy projects, ensuring ecological restoration while maximizing economic benefits [7]. - In Inner Mongolia, pilot projects are being conducted to address overgrazing, with a goal to reduce the grass-livestock balance index below 10% by 2025 [10][11]. Key Focus Areas for 2025 - The administration plans to enhance grassland ecological quality through seven key initiatives, including long-term planning, ecological restoration projects, and improving grass seed supply capabilities [12][13]. - Emphasis will be placed on regulatory enforcement against illegal land use and overgrazing, alongside promoting integrated grassland reforms and developing a comprehensive grassland resource protection system [13][14].
