Yidangwan Village, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, is located on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert. This year, Huaneng Shaanxi Jingbian Electric Power Co., Ltd. started construction of photovoltaic power station in the local area, with a planned land of more than 3,000 mu. Recently, some villagers reported that "the construction party cut down more than 100,000 trees", suspected of destroying the extremely fragile desert ecological environment.
Did the construction party really destroy 100,000 trees? Are there any violations during construction? Photovoltaic projects are a green energy development model and can bring economic benefits. Why has they attracted doubts? What is the truth? CCTV reporters conducted a field investigation.
At present, the working group of Shaanxi Provincial Department of Natural Resources and the Forestry and Grassland Bureau have arrived in Jingbian to conduct an investigation. The working group of the Xi'an Commissioner's Office of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration also went to the project site to inspect and conduct an investigation. Yulin City also established a multi-department joint investigation team.
Question 1: Destroy 100,000 trees for the construction of a photovoltaic power plant project?
reporter learned that Jingbian County Yidangwan Village Committee of Dongkeng Town, Dongkeng Town, submitted a logging application on June 5, 2019 and provided the "Foot Tree Logging Operation Design of Huaneng Shaanxi Jingbian Electric Power Co., Ltd. Dongkeng Yidangwan 100 MW Photovoltaic Power Station Project" compiled by a third-party intermediary agency.
Jingbian County Forestry Bureau obtained on-site inspection and applied for the " Forest Logging License " on June 18, and has successively harvested 2,483 poplar trees. The Jingbian County Forestry Inspection Brigade conducted on-site inspections on June 17, and no traces of the trees on the project were found to have been logged before (previously). The logging procedures of comply with the prescribed procedures, and the villagers reported that "cutting down 100,000 poplar trees" was inconsistent with the facts.
Question 2: The project is located in the forest land and cannot be developed?
After investigation, the land for this project is not within the boundary of public welfare forests. Jingbian County has not implemented sand prevention and control projects, key forestry afforestation projects in this plot, nor has it issued a "Forest Rights Certificate" or "Grassland Use Certificate". According to the existing voluntary tree planting archives, Jingbian County has not arranged voluntary tree planting in the land for the project. According to the relevant person in charge of Yidangwan Village Committee, no companies or individuals have implemented organized sand prevention and greening projects in the land of the project.
Question 3: Is there any violation in the project construction?
As of now, Huaneng Shaanxi Jingbian Dongkeng Yidangwan 100 MW photovoltaic power station project has obtained 21 preliminary procedures approval documents including project filing, planning and site selection, environmental impact assessment report, and production safety. but failed to complete the project land use filing procedures, the investigation team will investigate and punish the illegal start of the project and will seriously hold the relevant units and personnel accountable.
Jingbian County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau stated that the land use of this photovoltaic project should adopt a filing system. Due to the lack of relevant matters certificates, the project land use filing procedures have not been completed so far. has been ordered to suspend the project.

Hot Comment | Photovoltaic project "tree destruction" incident, thorough investigation and elimination of doubts
.1 million poplar trees were cut down, 3,000 acres of desert forests and grasslands were flattened, especially the forests and grasses planted by sand control hero Niu Yuqin were destroyed... Once such a description is involved in the public opinion field, it will naturally be hotly discussed and fermented quickly. Judging from the investigation of CCTV reporters and local responses, some previous media reports are different from the facts. For example, no companies or individuals have implemented organized sand prevention and greening projects in the land of the project. In other words, the project land has nothing to do with the artificial oasis of Niu Yuqin and others.
The truth is a luxury, and it is destined to be difficult to pursue and reach the truth. However, by restoring many facts, especially after a fair investigation, the truth can gradually surface. The reason why the "deforest deforestation" incident in Jingbian, Yulin has had a certain reversal because of the thorough investigation by relevant departments and the facts revealed by local insiders.
As the investigation deepens, more details may be presented. thorough investigation is to be responsible for the truth, for the future of the project, and for the public's right to know. has come to this point, and perhaps we should think more about why this incident caused an uproar and aroused a wave of public opinion?
One reason is that Niu Yuqin is a symbol of sand control. Out of admiration for the elderly Niu Yuqin, the public is more emotionally concerned about this incident. "Yellow sand rolls, nine out of ten plows will not be harvested." Perhaps, not everyone knows Niu Yuqin's sand control deeds, and not everyone knows the afforestation cause of sand control people. However, when talking about the vast sea of sand and no grass grows, when talking about the hardships of "planting trees with shoulders and donkeys", and when comparing the scene of trees being cut down, the public will be quickly "injected", thus strongly condemning the "deforest destruction" incident.
Another reason is that "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the public's environmental awareness is increasing, and deforestation cannot be tolerated. my country has become the country with the largest growth in forest resources in the world, thanks to the improvement of desertification control level, the significantly accelerated pace of land greening, and the public's conscious participation in the process of environmental protection. Ecological civilization is highly accepted, with the whole country mobilization, the whole nation takes action, and the whole society participates. People hope to see "people plant trees and trees form forests" but cannot accept that the forests are destroyed.
Fortunately, the "deforestation" in Jingbian, Yulin was an unlucky incident, and the public was falsely alarmed. In addition to being relieved, what should not be avoided is that there are indeed questions in this "deforest deforestation" incident. For example, although the relevant institutions have obtained 21 preliminary formal approval documents including project filing, planning site selection, land pre-examination, environmental impact assessment reports, soil and water conservation, cultural relics protection, production safety, and occupational health pre-evaluation, they have not completed the project land use filing procedures.
It is understood that the investigation of the joint investigation team is still in progress. The Yulin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has intervened in the investigation of the illegal start of the project and will hold accountable according to the investigation results in accordance with the rules and regulations. No problems can arise in every legal link, and no due process can be missing. It can be handled in accordance with the law and regulations, which can better convince the public and allow relevant responsible persons to learn lessons better.
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to promote the revolution in energy production and consumption and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. Photovoltaic power is known as "one of the best green energy". From this perspective, the construction of photovoltaic power stations is the call for green development in the new era. Developing clean energy within the framework of the rule of law, doing good things well, and truly benefiting the people. This is the responsibility of the relevant departments. To this end, we look forward to the early completion of this "tree-destroying" incident and allow clean energy to play a more steadily role.
