Since the 1950s, facing serious soil and water loss, Gaoxigou Village has begun to explore the treatment of soil and soil loss, becoming a model of ecological construction in northern Shaanxi Loess Plateau.

In the midsummer, the village of Gaoxigou Village was lush, and the bird -language insects were endless.

Walking in Maolin, Gao Zhi, who has been a forest care for nearly 10 years. Compared with the past, the changes here are too great. "In the past, the mountains on the mountains of Gaoxigou couldn't keep the soil and water. After so many years of ecological comprehensive governance, the vegetation on the mountain was good, and the" mud can not go down the mountains and the water can not be out of the ditch. "

Like the former Gaozhi, many older Gaoxigou people have witnessed the history of the struggle of this person with harmony with nature.

Since 1953, in order to break the survival dilemma of "the more poor and more reclaimed, the more poverty and the more poverty", the cadres and the masses of Gaoxigou Village fill the ditch and repair the terraces, and start the initial soil and water governance. Due to the lack of scientific experience, it is not satisfactory to control the effect of "running water and running fat". In the 1960s, the Gaoxigou people implemented the "Ten Years of Soil and Water Conservation Development Plan" under the leadership of the village party branch to carry out scientific planning of the soil and water governance of the village. By the 1970s, the 85%ravine of the village was governed and the production conditions have improved. "The early construction of Yamada has improved food production, and everyone realizes the importance of ecological environment governance. Gaoxiou's soil and soil conservation governance began to enter the stage of grassland management and the consolidation and improvement of forests." Essence

In the practice of ecological construction since then, Gao Xigou Village respects the laws of nature, established the principles of "adapting to local conditions and reasonable land use", adhered to the comprehensive governance of mountains, water, forests, grass, fields, and roads. One -third of the "three -three system" land model. Yi Gan is grain, Yimu, and animal husbandry. This approach has significantly improved the coverage of vegetation in the village, effectively controlled soil and soil loss, and the coordinated development of agricultural production and ecological protection. After more than ten years of governance and maintenance, Gaoxigou Village has achieved green and green, drought and flooding.

Entering the new century, Gaoxigou Village increased its ecological protection, implemented a large -scale implementation of mountains and prohibited herds, consolidating the results of returning farmland to forests, and adjusting the land use model to "three forest land, two grasslands, and one cultivated land." At present, the entire village's soil and soil loss treatment has reached 78%, the coverage rate of forest and grass has reached 70%, and the ecological environment has improved significantly. Land utilization is transformed from agricultural economy to ecological economy.

For Gao Xigou people, "eating unsteady stomach" has become history, and "eating ecological rice" has become a consensus. In recent years, the local area has actively developed the characteristic agricultural industries such as Xiaomi, mountain apples, and developed rural ecological tourism by relying on a good natural environment, strengthening the collective economy of the village, and sharing ecological dividends. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of the village reached 18,851 yuan. "Keep the soil and soil loss and make the ecological environment better, so that the villagers can live and work in peace. Therefore, we should cherish and protect the mountains and rivers of Gaoxigou, and embark on a road of coordinated ecology and economic development." Jiang Liangbiao said.
