Not poor, as early as 1988, Bijie embarked on a new journey of getting rid of poverty and keeping the green hills. At that time, around the three themes of "development and poverty alleviation, ecological construction and population control", Guizhou established an experimental area in Bijie, trying to break the vicious circle of "having more children, having more children, being poor and having more children".

Bijie has successively implemented more than ten ecological construction projects, such as returning farmland to forests, protecting natural forest resources and comprehensively controlling rocky desertification in mountainous areas unsuitable for cultivation. * * * More than 20 million mu of afforestation has been completed, and the annual forest coverage rate has increased by more than 1 percentage point. By the end of 2065,438+05, the forest coverage rate in Bijie City has reached 48.04%, and the trend of rocky desertification has intensified.
