Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the innovative "grass ticket" system in Inner Mongolia, which aims to realize the ecological value of grasslands through modernized operations and financial mechanisms, enhancing the economic benefits of pastoral products while protecting the environment [1][2]. Group 1: Ecological Value Realization - The "grass ticket" system allows local herders to lease their grassland rights to enterprises, which then modernize operations to increase economic value while maintaining ecological integrity [1][2]. - The concept of "grass ticket" can expand to include carbon credits and other ecological products, promoting comprehensive transformation of ecological value [2][3]. - Various financing tools, such as forest carbon credit pledges and water rights pledges, are emerging to facilitate the monetization of ecological resources [3]. Group 2: Case Studies and Financial Mechanisms - The small watershed ecological product value conversion project in Huzhou serves as a model for transforming ecological advantages into economic value, integrating water management with tourism and agriculture [4][5]. - The first loan for ecological product operating rights pledge was issued by a bank for a water ecological project, demonstrating the financial viability of such initiatives [5]. - The carbon credit market is also developing, with projects like the single-tree carbon credit initiative in Guizhou providing additional income for impoverished households [6][7]. Group 3: Challenges and Recommendations - There are still issues with the supporting mechanisms for ecological value realization, including the lack of standardized legal frameworks and unified valuation systems [8][9]. - Experts suggest that improving the ecological product value accounting system and establishing a national information platform are essential for market recognition and transaction facilitation [10][11]. - To stimulate market activity, it is recommended to create an ecological product value assessment mechanism and enhance local ecological product branding [11][12].
