西部生态安全建设与草原生态旅游发展研究

Ecological Security Construction and Grassland Eco-tourism Development

西部草原分布广、类型多,集草原生物、游牧文化和民族风情为一体,以辽阔、悠扬、神秘、好奇为特色,现已成为夏秋季节最为诱人的避暑胜地。西部草原分布区作为我国陆地生态安全的重要屏障,在调节气候、涵养水源、水土保持、防风固沙、改善区域环境、抵御自然灾害、维护生物多样性等方面具有重要作用,其生态保障功能价值远大于西部经济开发价值。基于此,西部草原生态旅游发展必须以生态安全建设为目标,以退牧还草工程、生态保育工程、人文景观开发和牧区新农村建设为依托,妥善处理好西部生态与草原旅游发展的关系,以期有利于实现西部牧区生态、经济社会的可持续发展。

Grassland in west China is distributed widely,types were varied.Western grassland,as an important green barrier of China＇s terrestrial ecological safety,plays an important role in regulating climate,purifying the air,water resources conservancy,water and soil conservation,building a protective system for windbreak and sand-fixation,improving regional environment,conservation of biological diversity,etc.It is the basis of China＇s inland security and the value of its protection is far greater than that of western economic development.Based on these reasons,western eco-tourism must take western ecological security construction as major goal,and depend on the program of restoring grazing areas to grasslands,ecology conservation,human landscapes development and new socialist countryside construction projects to develop grassland ecotourism so as to achieve the sustainable development of the society,economy and environment in western pastoral area.
