35. Q: In the new century, facing the western development and increasing energy demands, what effective environmental protection measures will the government promote?

A: In 2000, Tibet promulgated the Ecological Environment Construction Plan (2000-2050). According to this plan, in 50 years Tibet will invest 22.7 billion yuan in construction of the local ecological environment, with a total of 160 key construction projects. This is the largest ecological environment construction plan in Tibet's history.
Meanwhile, Tibet has also put forward a spectacular "green plan," including a project for protection of natural forests on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Mankarm County, Qamdo Prefecture, and the Yarlung Zangbo River ecological construction project in Xigaze Prefecture.
Apart from the natural forest protection project on the upper reaches of the Yangze River, extensive ecological environment construction in Tibet also includes the comprehensive environmental protection and cultivation of ecological agriculture in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River; the restoration of degenerated grasslands; the control of soil erosion and natural forest protection in eastern Tibet; and the grassland environment construction in northeastern and northern Tibet.
Tibet is known as the "roof of the world." Its high altitude and vast expanses of plateau make it the starting point for the East Asia monsoon climate and the regulator of the global climate. It is also the source of a large number of Chinese rivers. Construction and protection of the ecological environment in this area is vital to the ecological environment of entire China.
