Introduction: compared with the 1950s, the pasture yield of Inner Mongolia grassland decreased by 30% - 70% The area of grassland degradation, desertification and desertification reached 580 million mu, accounting for 56.3% of the available grassland area in the whole region, and it continues to expand at the rate of 10 million mu every year There are not only natural factors, but also too many cattle and sheep on the grassland It was once seen in a banner of Xilinguole League in Inner Mongolia that there was a herdsman of eight when he contracted for livestock and grass Now three sons have already married The grassland is still that grassland, but the population has nearly doubled In order to live a better life, they have to raise more cattle and sheep There are not a few herdsmen like this in the grassland For herdsmen, livestock is not only their means of production, but also their means of living The only way to make a fortune is to raise more livestock The financial income of some animal husbandry flags is also obtained from livestock There are 8000 people who eat "royal food" in a certain flag, relying on the taxes paid by 30000 herdsmen for their livestock So I tried to increase the number of livestock In many pastoral areas, there are also a considerable number of cattle and sheep that are not in "weaving" Some are hidden by herdsmen in order to pay less taxes, and some are "cadre cattle" and "cadre sheep" raised by League and flag cadres and workers In Xilingol Grassland, at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, there were only 200000 people and more than 1 million livestock Now, the population is 900000, and in spring, there are more than 10 million livestock More than 90% of the grasslands have been degraded to different degrees, and 68% of the grasslands have been severely degraded and desertification In many grasslands, the sight of cattle and sheep with low grass and wind has been replaced by the barren sand Cattle and sheep are still eating on the bare grassland On both sides of the beautiful Hulunbuir grassland Road, the high-quality natural forage a few years ago also has a high knee height Overgrazing leads to the overgrowth of horseradish (a sign of grassland degradation), and the yellow sand in some areas is exposed The ecology of all grasslands in Inner Mongolia is fragile and vulnerable Once destroyed, it is difficult to restore In the 1950s, the land was reclaimed to Hulunbuir grassland, which was banned in time But after nearly 50 years, there was a clear distinction between reclaimed grassland and uncultivated grassland Since the second half of 2001, Xilin Gol League has carried out "enclosure and transfer" to the grassland and herdsmen who cannot survive So, for most of the areas where cattle and sheep can be raised, can the grassland bear so many livestock now? It will take a long time and a long process to reduce the population of pastoral areas and relieve the pressure of grassland by promoting urbanization and "enclosure transfer" In order to stop the destruction of the grassland which is already under heavy load, the urgent task is to stop the "black households" of cattle and sheep in the pastoral area, and to "simplify" the cattle and sheep on the grassland through policies and subsidies The leaders of Xilinguole League put forward whether the herdsmen's cattle and sheep should be reduced through certain subsidies given by the state in the same way as returning farmland to forest or grass (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
