36. Q: Does Tibet have a long-term ecological environment construction plan?
A: Tibet plans to invest 22.7 billion yuan in 160 key projects in the coming 50 years, which are to be completed in three stages.
In 2000, Tibet published the 2000-2050 Ecological Environment construction Plan. According to this plan, Tibet will center on the comprehensive improvement of the ecological environment, the construction of eco-agriculture, and restoration of grassland in the middle reaches of the yarlung Zangbo River. Control of soil erosion and protection of natural forests in eastern Tibet, ecological grassland environment construction in northeastern and northern Tibet, and control of grassland desertification, degeneration and alkalization will be carried out at the same time. The ultimate aim is to form a virtuous circle of utilization of natural resources and evolution of ecological environment.
