A crime: deforestation
China Garden Network August 13 News: From 1950s to 1980s, Boat &; Before Qu, there were lush water plants and dense forests in the south of the Yangtze River, but after continuous large-scale logging, the mountain without vegetation gradually weathered and lost, and silt appeared every time it was rainy and windy. Stones and flows, even collapse. According to statistics, from August 1952, Zhou &; Since the establishment of Qu Forestry Bureau in 1990, 1897500 mu of forest has been cut down, and forests in many places have become secondary forests. Coupled with civil timber, deforestation, reselling and misappropriation, the county's forests are reduced at a rate of 654.38+10,000 cubic meters every year, and the vegetation is seriously damaged, and the ecological environment is destroyed beyond the limit.
In addition, the local land is small and crowded, forced by livelihood, and farmland is often reclaimed and cut down, forest area is reduced, vegetation protection is lost, and soil erosion is serious.
Two charges: indiscriminate mining
Along the Bailong River, the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the resources are rich, which has also become the home of many people. According to Zhouqu users, thousands of machines dig in the mountains along the Bailong River all the year round. Mountain materials and jade are all treasures. Good materials can't be dug a few pieces a year, even Russian materials and blue sea materials are not as good as eyes. The mountains have all been dug. In addition, digging jade in the mountains also takes some risks. You don't have to take a bath for almost a month, just drink snow water, eat biscuits and beef. Life is hard and easy to fall to death.
Three sins: excessive exploitation
There are countless water conservancy projects along the Bailong River. According to Zhouqu netizens, it starts from Guangyuan, Sichuan in the downstream and reaches Wenxian and Zhou Zhou in the upstream. Qu, a river with numerous cascade hydropower dams and several mining fields, has more than half of its narrow channel filled with slag. There are countless excavators and trucks digging gold and sand in the river, and the whole Bailong River is yellower than the Yellow River.
Where is "Longshang Jiangnan"
Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, Gansu Ship &; Quxian County is only separated by a mountain. Jiuzhaigou has beautiful scenery, which makes many people who have been there linger. However, just about 60 kilometers away in a straight line, Ganzhou &; Bend, but it's completely different. The mountains are not green and the water is not clear.
The reporter found a car from Jiuzhaigou and got on the boat &; Although the price is not low, many drivers are still unwilling to run. Asked why, almost unanimously replied, "Mud&; Stone and flow. From Jiuzhai to Ship &; Qu has to bypass more than 300 kilometers of mountain roads, and many places along the way are covered with mud. Stones and frequently flowing areas are very dangerous. The reporter saw many traces left by landslides or mudslides along the way, so some sections must be bypassed.
Gannan area, known as "Longshang Jiangnan", has a pleasant climate and beautiful ecology, which has always made Gannan people proud. But mud and stones and a passing boat. Quxian, on the other hand, made it impossible for reporters to connect their scenes with Longshang Jiangnan. The devastated urban areas and scarred mountainous areas are even bluntly "terrible" by local residents.
In recent years, Gannan area has become a geological disaster-prone area, and many Panshan highways have been diverted or reinforced. Whenever the rainy season comes, many drivers are reluctant to run that endless mountain road again. Zhouqu county is also troubled. During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, ships at the tail of the earthquake zone &; Quxian county is one of the hardest hit areas. Many ships &; Qu residents said that this kind of mud is rare in history &; Stones and currents are related to earthquakes.
The resource advantages of Zhouqu are mainly hydropower and minerals. How to develop these two resources and how to protect the ecological environment has always been controversial. In recent years, many hydropower projects have been established from the ship and Bailong River through Quxian County, which is also considered to be related to this mudslide disaster. The ship materials produced by Qu are excellent, which is one of the distribution areas of natural timber forests in Gansu Province. Whether stone-flow is related to the over-exploitation of forestry resources also makes the outside world full of doubts. And all kinds of gold, iron and coal mines distributed in the mountains, except ships &; Qu not only brings economic benefits, but also inevitably causes certain soil erosion.
