Speech at the Forestry Work Conference (I);
Comrades:
The main tasks of this county-wide forestry work conference are to implement the opinions of the central government and provinces, cities and counties on promoting the reform and development of forestry work, sum up achievements, deploy work, mobilize the county to further unify its thinking, innovate ideas, solidly promote the ban on logging, accelerate the transformation and development of forestry, and lay a solid foundation for building the most distinctive eco-economic demonstration county and green development pioneer area in Dabie Mountain.
Next, I would like to make four comments:
First, affirm achievements and enhance confidence.
Our county is rich in forest resources, with forest land area of 2.25 million mu, accounting for 70% of the land area. With outstanding forestry characteristics, China is a famous hometown of chestnut, sweet persimmon, poria cocos and wild orchids. Over the years, all departments at all levels in the county, especially the forestry department, have worked hard to overcome difficulties, conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the county party Committee and the government, and achieved outstanding results in forestry work.
First, the level of afforestation has been continuously improved. Adhere to the combination of afforestation, low reform, tending and logging ban, and take key forestry projects as the starting point to continuously improve the afforestation level. The county has successively implemented a large number of projects such as shelterbelt projects in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, returning farmland to forests, transforming low-yield forests, and Sino-German financial cooperation afforestation. Strive to increase the national project investment from less than 6.5438+million yuan per year to more than 40 million yuan now, and complete the afforestation area of 698,000 mu. The forest coverage rate in the county has increased from 63.9% in 2000 to 70.2% now, which is 52%, 38.6% and 27.2% higher than the national, provincial and municipal average levels respectively. The county's standing stock increased from 3.96 million cubic meters to 665,438+10,000 cubic meters, the stand structure was obviously improved, and the ecological function was greatly improved. In this year's "30,000" campaign, the "Green Village" campaign was launched in an all-round way, with a capital of130,000 yuan, planting large seedlings1720,000 plants and 6.55 million small seedlings.
Second, the protection of forest resources has been comprehensively strengthened. Adhere to the protection and management of forests in accordance with the law, vigorously promote the timber cutting quota system, certificate cutting system and cutting publicity system, scientifically divide ecological public welfare forests and commercial forests, and implement forest classification management. The county has designated 90,000 mu of national ecological public welfare forest and 654.38+10,000 mu of provincial ecological public welfare forest, and closed hills for afforestation.
1.6 million mu. Dabie Mountain National Forest Park, Dabie Mountain Provincial Nature Reserve, Paradise Lake National Wetland Park and two provincial wetland parks, Jumadun and Yishui River, were successfully declared and established. The national nature reserve has passed the evaluation of experts in the State Council and will be awarded soon. Strengthen the protection of wildlife resources, protect 6828 ancient and famous trees in the county, and severely investigate and deal with a number of illegal forestry cases. Strengthen forest fire prevention and pest control, improve the responsibility system, increase capital investment, build professional teams, and improve prevention capabilities. No serious forest fires occurred in the county, and forest pests and diseases were effectively controlled in time. Strengthening the logging ban, the pilot work of logging ban in four state-owned forest farms, Tiantangzhai, Baodaofeng, Qingtaiguan and Huangshizhai, was started in 20 xx, and achieved initial results.
Third, forestry industrialization has been rapidly promoted. The industrialization level of chestnut in this county ranks among the top in China. At the national economic forest work conference held in Shandong last year, our county, as one of the two county-level units in China, made an exchange speech. "* * Chestnut", * * Sweet Persimmon "and" Jiuzihe Poria cocos "have become protected products of national geographical indications. Gorgeous food and other three enterprises have become provincial leading enterprises in forestry industrialization. Forest sightseeing and ecological leisure tourism have flourished. Tiantangzhai and Baodaofeng successfully established national 4A scenic spots, and Dabie Mountain National Forest Park was selected as the most influential national forest park and the 28 most beautiful national forest parks in China.
Fourth, the rights and interests of forest farmers are fully protected. Progress has been made in the reform of collective forest right system, and all certificates have been issued to households, laying a foundation for protecting the rights and interests of forest farmers according to law. Guide forest farmers to change their production and life concepts and support the transformation to tourism, commerce and service industries. The transformation project of shanty towns in forest farms was started, and the problems of old-age insurance and re-employment of employees after the ban on logging in state-owned forest farms were solved as much as possible.
Fifth, ecological forestry has won a good reputation. Hold chestnut festivals, sweet persimmon festivals and orchid festivals, build chestnut culture and science museum, chestnut park and Dabie Mountain Botanical Garden, and promote literary and artistic works with forestry as the theme to the whole country. * * It has successively won the titles of national advanced county of forestry ecological construction, green well-off county, standardized demonstration county of high quality and high yield of chestnut, demonstration county of farmers' forestry professional cooperatives, advanced county of forest fire prevention, advanced collective of protecting forest wildlife resources, advanced unit of land greening, forest administration resource management and collective forest right system reform in the whole province. In the assessment of the city's forestry ecological construction responsibility target in the past three years, our county has been in the forefront of the city and has been commended by the municipal party Committee and the municipal government.
While fully affirming the achievements of forestry work, we should also see the existing difficulties and problems: First, the stand structure is unreasonable, pure Pinus massoniana forest and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest account for the majority, and the ability of insect resistance and fire prevention is not strong; Second, the output benefit of forest land is low. At present, the average yield of chestnut in economic forest is only 160 kg, which is less than that in 400 yuan, and it has not fully played its role in promoting people's income. Third, the management of forest resources is not in place and the intensity of logging ban is not enough. Deforestation, illegal occupation of forest land, illegal transportation, management and processing of wood and wild animals occur from time to time; Fourth, the reform and development of state-owned forest farms and the task of solving difficulties for employees are very heavy.
Second, clear thinking and highlight key points
In the coming period, the overall thinking and main tasks of forestry work in the county are: thoroughly implement the spirit of the Party and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, firmly establish Scientific Outlook on Development, comprehensively deepen forestry reform, focus on building a sound forestry ecological system, a developed industrial system and a prosperous eco-cultural system, and strive to realize the transformation from a large forestry county to a strong eco-economic county, so that forestry resources can better benefit the people of the county. By 20 18, the forestland area of the county will reach 2.3 million mu, the forest stock will reach 8 million cubic meters, the forest coverage rate will exceed 73%, and the greening rate will exceed 9 1%. The public's satisfaction with the ecological environment will continue to improve.
In order to achieve the above objectives, we should focus on four projects:
(1) Ecological construction project. Accelerate the construction of forest ecosystems and wetland ecosystems, maintain biodiversity, and make mountains greener, water cleaner and air cleaner. Strengthen the ecological management and restoration of Dabie Mountain National Forest Park, Luojiu Line, Luosheng Line, 3 18 Line, Paradise Lake, An Baili River, Fenghuangguan Reservoir Area and Fengshan City, intensify the creation of ecological counties, make the concept of green civilization and low-carbon environmental protection more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and build and enjoy an ecological atmosphere.
(2) Resource protection project. Conscientiously implement the planning of the main functional areas of the provincial government and do a good job in "three major protections": First, protect forest land. Strictly examine and approve the requisition and occupation of forest land and control the use of forest land, implement the balance of forest land occupation and compensation, and protect forest land as strictly as basic farmland. The second is to protect wetlands. Strengthen the protection of Paradise Lake National Wetland Park and Yishui River and Jumadun Provincial Wetland Park. The next step is to build Xinchang River and Sibo River basins into provincial wetland parks and expand the scope of wetland protection in the county. The third is to protect forests and biodiversity. Strengthen the dynamic monitoring of forest resources and do a good job in forest resources inventory. Do a good job in the protection and management of wild animals and their habitats, further improve the network of wild animal nature reserves in the county, and earnestly safeguard species safety.
(3) Greening and beautification project. Actively respond to the mobilization order of "Green Man Jingchu Action" issued by the provincial party committee and government at the end of last year, and do a good job in greening and beautifying the project. First, focus on "surrounding greening" and promote the integration of urban and rural forestry. We will extensively carry out voluntary tree planting by the whole people, so that seedlings and flowers can enter cities, roads, villages, families, communities, schools and families, and create an urban and rural forestry pattern integrating urban gardens, suburban forests, tree-lined roads, farmland forests and gardens. The second is to carry out "green village" activities in an all-round way and promote rural greening. Take village greening as an important part of new rural construction, make overall planning, implement it step by step, adjust measures to local conditions, and advance steadily, and complete all village greening tasks by 20 18. Continue to take the form of government financing and project greening, focusing on greening the villages along Luojiu, Luo Sheng and 3 18, and create three landscape belts suitable for tourism. Third, adhere to the combination of greening and beautification, and promote forest phase improvement. Accelerate the construction of scenic forests and forest scenic forests, improve the forest grade and greening appreciation of each scenic spot and three scenic belts, and develop and build colorful forestry scenic spots.
(4) Industrialization cultivation project. Formulate the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for the development of forestry industry, and build an industrial cluster with remarkable regional characteristics and strong competitiveness. New breakthroughs have been made in two aspects: first, new breakthroughs have been made in lint deep processing industry. Improve the scale and grade of chestnut industry, sweet persimmon industry and under-forest planting and breeding industry, vigorously cultivate leading enterprises, and develop a number of high value-added lint products and tourism commodities. Second, new breakthroughs have been made in developing forest eco-tourism. Accelerate the pace of establishing national 5A and 4A scenic spots, develop new ecological leisure, health care and old-age products, and build a global tourism system.
Three, unified action, a total ban on logging
This year, on the basis of the pilot work of banning logging in state-owned forest farms, the county party committee and the county government extensively solicited opinions from the masses, made a serious investigation and made a decision. Today, the "Decision on Further Strengthening the Protection and Management of Forest Resources" was officially issued, which made an overall arrangement for our county to implement a comprehensive ban on logging, protect forest resources and promote forestry transformation and development. A comprehensive ban on logging is an important decision-making arrangement for deepening forestry reform and promoting transformation and development in our county, which indicates that our county, as a large forestry county, has entered a new stage of comprehensive protection and scientific utilization of forest resources from paying attention to forest logging and utilization.
In order to fully implement the spirit of the document of the county party committee and government, I emphasize two aspects:
(1) Accurately grasp the prohibition period, scope and requirements. The logging ban period shall be from the date of publication of the document to 20 18 12 3 1. The scope of logging ban has been extended from four state-owned forest farms to the whole county. The basic requirement of logging ban is "eight prohibitions". First, it is forbidden to cut down commercial timber; second, it is forbidden to batch new forest processing enterprises; third, it is forbidden to cut down trees along major roads above county roads; fourth, it is forbidden to dig scattered trees in front of and behind houses; fifth, it is forbidden to destroy forests for land reclamation, borrow soil and take stones; sixth, it is forbidden to cut resin; seventh, it is forbidden to dig tree pockets indiscriminately; and eighth, it is forbidden to hunt wild animals.
(two) to do a good job in the management of key links in the prohibited logging area. In order to ensure that the comprehensive logging ban is truly implemented and put in place, so that it can be stopped, stabilized and not rebounded, cadres and workers at all levels and departments, especially the forestry system, should maintain a high degree of consistency with the county party Committee and county government in thought and action, and earnestly ban it.
First, do a good job in the examination and approval management of special timber harvesting after the ban. Strictly control the total amount of forest harvesting. For the seven situations that need to be cut down as stipulated in the document, special examination and approval shall be strictly implemented, the cutting location and quantity shall be standardized, and the cutting matters shall be publicized on the portal website of the county government and the cutting operation area. In addition to farmers' self-use, the development of Chinese herbal medicines and edible fungi industry, artificial afforestation and logging in unplanned forest land, other logging activities in the county must be organized by forestry departments and specific construction units, and on-site logging operations should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of project approval; It is strictly forbidden for farmers to use materials for their own use and for forest farmers to develop Chinese herbal medicines, edible fungi and other industrial materials to enter the market for circulation and trading. Focus on strengthening the special examination and approval and supervision of industrial materials such as Chinese herbal medicines and edible fungi by forest farmers in towns and villages such as Jiuzihe and Baimiaohe.
Second, do a good job in rectifying wood processing enterprises and strictly supervise the field of wood circulation. Comprehensively clean up and rectify existing wood processing enterprises, and guide legal wood processing enterprises to implement transformation as soon as possible. At the same time, the county will no longer introduce forest processing projects that need to utilize local forest resources in the future. Carry out joint law enforcement, openly deal with and severely crack down on illegal timber processing, prohibit the export and transportation of timber in the county, and control it from the source.
Third, do a good job in publicity and education to improve urban and rural production and living conditions. Guide the masses to establish the concept of ecological protection, and change the backward production and lifestyle of relying on mountains to eat, cutting down trees to sell money, chopping wood and cooking, and making a fire to keep warm. The county government and relevant departments have increased investment in rural power, biogas, solar energy and other projects, promoted energy-saving and material-saving technologies, reduced dependence on forest resources, ensured the people's production and living needs, and ensured that the logging ban was always unremitting and achieved practical results.
In addition, we must do a good job in forest fire prevention and forest pest control, especially after the ban on logging, forest vegetation will recover quickly, and forest fires and forest pests are more likely to occur. In case of fire and forest diseases and insect pests, the loss and harm will be even greater. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in forest pest control and forest fire prevention in winter, earnestly implement responsibilities, strengthen daily inspections, and ensure foolproof.
Fourth, strengthen leadership and security.
Strengthen leadership and implement responsibilities. The county forest resources protection and management headquarters was established, with Secretary Xiao as the political commissar and I as the commander, Comrade Zhidong and Comrade Jianming as the executive deputy political commissar and executive deputy commander respectively, and the heads of townships and relevant departments as members. Formulate and improve the target responsibility system for forestry reform and development and the target responsibility system for forest resources management, strengthen the main responsibility of townships and state-owned forest farms, and implement quantitative assessment. The assessment results are included in the county's "five lectures, five evaluations and five tests". If poor supervision, dereliction of duty and malpractice lead to the destruction of forest resources, the responsibility of relevant units and responsible persons should be seriously investigated according to law. At the same time, we will establish a reward system with government incentives as the guide, departmental incentives as the main body, regular recognition and timely recognition, including the eco-environmental award set up by Secretary Xiao who donated 654.38 million yuan to the China Environmental Protection Award, focusing on individuals who have made outstanding contributions to forestry ecological construction.
Create an atmosphere and form a joint force. Further mobilize the whole society to actively participate in voluntary afforestation activities and jointly build and protect ecological forestry resources. Innovating the working mechanism of afforestation, the propaganda department should strengthen forestry public welfare propaganda, carry forward ecological culture and raise the awareness of ecological civilization of the whole society; The forestry department should fulfill the main responsibility of development and actively strive for policy and project support; Water conservancy departments should pay special attention to the greening of dikes and ditches; The transportation department should do a good job in road greening to ensure that the greening rate of road maintenance is higher than the national standard; Housing, construction and garden departments should do a good job in urban greening and beautification, and consolidate and enhance the achievements of creating garden counties; All towns and villages should do a good job in village greening, fully complete the task of creating ecological towns and villages, and build a number of ecologically livable small towns and ecological villages; People's armed forces departments at all levels, women's federations, youth leagues and non-governmental organizations should do a good job in public welfare forest bases such as militia forest, March 8th forest, youth forest and expert forest.
Deepen reform and strengthen law enforcement. According to the reform direction of "relative concentration of administrative punishment power", we should integrate the internal law enforcement functions of forestry departments such as forest public security, forestry administration units, timber inspection stations, forestry inspection teams, forest protection stations and grass-roots forestry stations, set up forestry administrative law enforcement brigade, make the functions of forest harvesting approval, supervision, law enforcement and punishment relatively centralized, and establish a forestry administrative law enforcement system with clear rights and responsibilities, standardized behavior, effective supervision and strong guarantee. The political and legal departments have made every effort to provide law enforcement guarantees and strengthen law enforcement in forestry cases.
Increase investment and implement guarantee. Increase policy support and capital investment for forestry reform and development, and fully implement various national policies to benefit forests. Make overall arrangements for forestry law enforcement, forest fire prevention, forest pest control and other work funds, continuously improve the financial budget guarantee level of the forestry system, and incorporate infrastructure construction such as forest roads, water supply, power supply and communication into the development plans of related industries. Accelerate the reform of state-owned forest farms, do a good job in solving the difficulties of forest farm workers, continue to transform shanty towns, and support forestry workers to start their own businesses and re-employment.
Comrades, forestry is in a critical period of reform and development. Cadres and workers in the county, especially in the forestry system, should highly unify their thinking, effectively form a sense of * *, be determined to reform and innovate, and strive to create a new situation in the development of * * forestry.
