构建和谐社会与河西源区沙尘暴防治

人与自然和谐是社会主义和谐社会不可或缺的组成部分,生态良好是人与自然和谐的根本特征.在全国荒漠化、沙化趋势普遍得到遏制的今天,以民勤为典型的河西走廊荒漠化、沙化趋势却在不断扩展,成为目前中国北方五大沙尘暴最严重源区之首.沙尘暴的危害是毁灭性的,沙尘暴频发的原因有自然因素,也有人为因素.要有效地防治沙尘暴、改善生态环境,就必须从根本上改变人与自然的关系.

Construction of a Harmonious Society and the Prevention of Sand Storm in the Western Corridor

Based on the conviction that the harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature is the key to the establishment of a harmonious society and that a beautiful ecosystem is the guarantee for such a relationship, the paper maintains that the conversion of grassland to desert in the Western Corridor,as is exemplified by the case in Minqin County,and the increasingly serious sand storm that threatens north China,are due to human abuses of nature as well as to non-human factors.The solution to the problem lies in the adjustment of the human-nature relationship.
