In Fujian, the mountains are covered with green and stretch to the horizon, and the cities are dotted like pearls, radiating vigorous vitality.

In June 2016, Fujian Province was established as China's first ecological civilization pilot zone. Over the past year, among the 38 reform tasks in the field of ecological civilization construction, 15 key reform tasks have achieved phased results in 2016, and 17 key reform tasks have been fully launched this year, of which 12 have achieved initial results. Walking in Fujian and visiting these reform progress is gratifying and inspiring.

Exploring institutional and mechanism solutions

An important task of the ecological civilization pilot zone is to cultivate the "experimental field" well, explore institutional and mechanism solutions, and provide China with replicable and popularizable experience.

"Whether ecological environmental protection can be implemented depends on leading cadres." After the pilot zone was established, Fujian Province established a leading group with the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee as the group leader and the Governor as the executive deputy group leader to coordinate and promote the construction of the pilot zone. The provincial party committee and the provincial government have refined the task division plan and annual task list, formed a work promotion mechanism that is vertical and horizontal, and implemented the responsibility to specific units.

How to achieve the transmission of pressure layer by layer so that various reform measures can take root?

Fujian has carried out pilot projects for the outgoing audit of natural resource assets of party and government leaders in Xianyou County, Guangze County and other places, and used it as an important basis for the assessment, appointment, removal, reward and punishment of leaders. "This reform has conveyed a strong environmental awareness to grassroots leaders, and problems are immediately rectified when they are found." Zhang Fuqing, member of the Standing Committee of the Xianyou County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Mayor, said. So far, Xianyou County has demolished 68 machine brick and tile kiln industries, 221 stone processing industries, and 171 waste plastic processing workshops, completed the ecological environment restoration and governance of 21 expired mines, and urged 8 licensed mines to "mine and rectify at the same time."

Fujian also pays attention to the innovation of the judicial protection mechanism of the ecological environment. "By promoting the trial of environmental and resource cases, we can achieve the effect of sentencing one person, restoring a forest, and educating a group of people," said Qiu Chengfa, president of the Ecological Resources Tribunal of the Changting County People's Court. "There are fewer and fewer illegal acts that damage the ecology, and the concept of ecological protection has been significantly strengthened." The Fujian Provincial High People's Court has successively issued 21 guiding opinions and established 16 working mechanisms, forming a relatively complete judicial protection mechanism.

Release the potential of green industries

As of the end of 2016, the water quality of 12 major rivers in Fujian Province remained excellent overall, with Class I-III water quality accounting for 96.5%, the proportion of good air quality days in all cities and districts reached 98.4%, and the PM2.5 concentration was 42% lower than the national average.

Can "green water and green mountains" be turned into "gold and silver mountains", and how can "green water and green mountains" be turned into "gold and silver mountains"? Fujian uses its own exploration to release the great potential of ecological industries.

Sun Yanyou, who lives in Xingcun Town, Wuyishan Scenic Area, has been making tea in his own workshop for more than 10 years. "Good ecology, less pests, good quality tea, much higher prices." Old Sun felt deeply.

How can the dividends of good ecology be released on a larger scale? "Ecological industrialization, industrial ecology, through industrial operation to tap ecological value, explore a win-win development model." A relevant person in charge of the Fujian Provincial Development and Reform Commission introduced. Fu Muqing, a large grain grower, took the lead in establishing a cooperative in Hetian Town, Changting County, and transferred and contracted nearly 3,000 acres of land for large-scale planting. "In the past, this place was "looking at the sky" and relying on the sky for food. Now the ecology is good, the water source is sufficient, and farming is guaranteed." Today, Fu Muqing can produce more than 2,000 tons of rice every year, with high quality and high price.

Fujian Province actively creates conditions to fully tap the advantages of ecological resources, so that a good ecology can release development dividends and enhance the sense of gain of the people. In 2016, Fujian's energy consumption per unit of GDP dropped to 0.439 tons of standard coal per 10,000 yuan, and major economic indicators continued to grow steadily. The total GDP entered the top ten in China, and the per capita GDP ranked seventh in China, achieving economic and social development and ecological civilization construction going hand in hand. In the first half of 2017, Fujian Province held a meeting to connect agriculture, tourism and other industries with capital, signed more than 30 agricultural projects and 14 tourism industry projects, involving more than 30 billion yuan in funds, to promote green development.

Mobilizing the enthusiasm for ecological protection

Haicang District is an industrial area in Xiamen City. It has a heavy environmental load and faces great environmental pressure. Haicang District has decentralized environmental supervision affairs and promoted grid-based environmental supervision.

Divide the responsibility fields and select grid members. "Grid members are like mobile cameras, who can find and feedback problems in a timely manner, solve general problems on the spot, and carry out face-to-face publicity and education." Huang Suyu, director of the Social Governance Linkage Center of Haicang District, introduced that the four streets under the jurisdiction of Haicang District now have 40 community (village) grids, 447 unit grids, and a total of 593 grid members. "Grid workers have more contact with residents and can encourage their relatives, neighbors and friends to consciously participate in environmental protection." Chen Rong, deputy researcher of Xiamen Environmental Protection Haicang Branch, said, "Government regulations and supervision are very important, and the participation of the masses can cultivate the concept of ecological civilization on a larger scale." With the increase in the participation of the masses, the air quality rate in Haicang District also increased significantly to 98.09% in 2016.

How to make the people willing to make long-term investments in ecological protection? Wuyishan City, Yong'an City and other places have innovatively carried out pilot projects for the redemption of commercial forests in key ecological locations. Li Xinfeng is a villager in Jiling Village, Xiyang Town, Yong'an City. The logging of 140 mu of commercial forests in key ecological locations in her family has been restricted, and the realization of forest cash and bank loans have become problems.

At this dilemma, the commercial forest redemption pilot solved her family's problem. "The redemption not only brought me a good income, but also annual forest land use fees in the future." Not only that, the bamboo forest deep in her family's mountains also benefited directly, "The deep forest has a good ecology, and there are fewer pests and diseases in the bamboo forest. The quality has improved, and the price is naturally higher."

By giving benefits to the masses, the enthusiasm of the masses to participate in ecological protection has increased. At present, Fujian is taking multiple measures to further stimulate the enthusiasm of the masses, let everyone participate, form a joint force for environmental protection, and stimulate ecological vitality.
