A Study on the Ecological Environment Management in Prairie Pastoral Areas under the Supply-side Structural Reform: Based on a Survey in Anqu Town, Hongyuan County, Sichuan Province

摘要

Located in the Tibetan Plateau of Northwest Sichuan Province, the Hongyuan Pastoral Area is a national contiguous poverty alleviation area and also a typical ecologically sensitive area. Herdsmen are the most important economic activity subject and the most basic decision-making unit, whose production behavior has directly affected the economic Level and ecological environment of pastoral areas. The pastoral areas have undertaken the double responsibility of economic development and ecological security. In this study, the author adopts the Participatory Farmer Assessment Method (PRA) for an analysis on the current situation of economic development and ecologic environment of pastoral areas based on field research with Anqu Town, Hongyuan County, Sichuan Province as the location for case study. The study results have shown that various bottlenecks restricting the ecological environment in the pastoral areas include the irrational industrial structure, extensive economic growth mode and herdsmen's weak ecological awareness and lagging ecological behavior. On this basis, the author proposes strategies for precision poverty alleviation and ecological environment management in pastoral areas.
