VI. A Developing Culture That Values Ecological Awareness
With advances in ecological conservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there has been a profound change in how people think and live. It has become widely recognized that protecting the environment means protecting our common home, with growing confidence in our eco-culture.
生态文明理念日益深入人心
生态文明建设过程中,青藏高原诸省区通过加大环境保护宣传、建设文化基础设施、开展教育培训、提升民众参与度、表彰先进人员、创建生态节日等,使生态文明理念逐步普及。“靠山吃山、靠水吃水”的传统观念逐渐被“青山绿水是金山银山、冰天雪地也是金山银山”的新观念取代;尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然的理念得到推崇。
Ecological awareness is taking root.
To promote ecological progress on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the relevant provinces and autonomous regions have taken active measures to increase public awareness of eco-conservation, such as strengthening public campaigns on environmental protection, building cultural infrastructure, organizing education and training sessions, encouraging public participation, rewarding role models, and introducing eco-themed holidays. In the past, people would exhaust their natural environment for food and wealth, but now they are beginning to understand that green mountains and clear water, and even snow and ice, are valuable assets that represent our true wealth. The idea of respecting nature, following nature’s law, and protecting nature has become popular.
