Second, who insists on "Neo-New Infrastructure"? How to persevere? Whoever invests in the original working mechanism of industrial civilization will benefit the capital of the enterprise market. So, under such a linkage mechanism, can this "Neo-New Infrastructure" be completed? The answer is "no". Ecological civilization needs a new working mechanism. To illustrate with specific examples: a farmer who grows 10 mu of land, does he have extra energy to protect the little swallows? He can only use pesticides to ensure that the crops on 10 mu are free from insects. However, here actually includes a greater interest, that is, the public environmental interest, which is not effective in the industrial civilization work mechanism to effectively build a biological control similar to small swallow eating pests.

 

Third, what is the core of "Neo-New Infrastructure"? It is the mobilization of all people to participate in public places, which requires the strong support of various departments across the country, including local governments, social organizations, especially social organizations and volunteers. Over the past few years, we have established more than 150 community conservation areas across the country, protecting a large number of species and their habitats. These are the core of "life construction", that is, the core of "Neo-New Infrastructure". In addition, there is still a need for in-depth research on the mechanism for mobilizing a large number of volunteers to participate, and it is necessary to strengthen support in various aspects such as policies, funds, and localities.

 

"Neo-New Infrastructure" is a multi-link and requires strong support from relevant departments. In the past, various departments had jurisdiction over various aspects of their work, but there were still disputes about who the swallow should be in charge of, or a blind spot. If viewed from the perspective of using natural enemies to eliminate pests and ensure food security, should the agricultural sector participate? Therefore, to a certain extent, "Neo-New Infrastructure" is a cross-departmental integration. It is necessary to establish a linkage idea and vigorously carry out this work.

 

In the construction of "Neo-New Infrastructure", in the process of promoting consumption, stimulating production, and promoting the economy, we believe that simple GDP (gross domestic product) is second. The accounting standard of "Neo-New Infrastructure" is not GDP, but GEP (gross ecosystem product). GEP is a system for measuring ecologically sound statistics and accounting. It measures and demonstrates the state of ecosystems by calculating the gross product of natural ecosystems such as forests, deserts and wetlands, as well as artificial ecosystems such as farmland, pastures and aquaculture farms.

 

We have done GEP accounting for Xing'an League, Aershan, Pu'er and other regions. For example, for Tianjin Binhai Wetland and Bagua Beach, from the perspective of traditional industrial civilization, these are worthless barren beaches. But I told local people that "This (for the ecological protection of Tianjin Binhai and Bagua Beach) is more important than the forest function of 5-10 times, because it produces a large GEP. Binhai New Area has a very good and long-term GDP development. But from the perspective of GEP, there is still much that can be done. Protecting such "barren beaches" and other habitats for life does not contribute less to GEP than the establishment of a special nature reserve. The GEP is an important foundation for the habitat on which humans depend, and it is an important and the most important task in the era of ecological civilization. "

 

Finally, it is hoped that "Neo-New Infrastructure" can be followed by more people and can jointly participate in the initiative of "Neo-New Infrastructure".
