According to the annual report of poverty reduction and development,in 2013,the Ministry of Environmental Protection attached high importance to poverty alleviatoin and development. To implement the spirit of the State Council’s work conference on poverty alleviation and development and the national poverty alleviation and development conference as well as the requirements of the “Circular of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council on Issuing the‘Notice concerning Mechanism Innovation to Promote Rural Poverty Alleviation and Development’” (Zhong Ban Fa No.[2013] 25), taking strengthening environmental protection in poor areas as the priority of environmental protection,the Ministry of Environmental Protection constantly increased efforts on promoting the ecological protection and construction in impoverished regions, implemented environmental governance projects, strived to solve prominent environmental problems affecting sustainable development and damaging people’s health, further improved the mechanism for environmental protection, poverty alleviation and development, and made progress in industrial poverty alleviation and fixed-point poverty alleviation.
In 2013, the Ministry of Environmental Protection formulated the “Program on Promoting Biodiversity Conservation and Poverty Reduction” jointly with LGOP to promote biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction work. Combined with the implementation of “China Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2011 - 2030)”, we successively launched pilot projects of biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction in Hulun Beier Gacha of New Barag Right Banner in Inner Mongolia, Hulun Buir City of Inner Mongolia, Lichuan County of Hubei Province, Sandu County of Guizhou Province, Taibai County of Shaanxi Province and Yulong County of Yunnan Province, and issued project funds of 2.9 million yuan.
Through alternative livelihoods, we improved people’s living standards and reduced the damage to biodiversity, and strived to explore a win-win mode for biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction. Meanwhile, we actively supported the development of national nature reserves in poor areas, continued to increase investment in nature reserves of poor areas, arranged 200 million yuan of special funds for biodiversity conservation and supported the construction of 74 National Nature Reserves (including five pilot projects of biodiversity conservation).
In cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, through transfer payment of central government for key national eco-functional regions, we supported the ecological function protection in poor areas, organized environmental quality assessment and urged county governments in poor areas to further increase efforts on ecological function protection.
