| Based on field studies in Kazakh village, Xinjiang, this thesis reviewed the settlement of herdsmen, industrial and mining development, local environmental protests in recent years. Also, it aimed at the description and analysis of the practice and logic of government, enterprises and herdsmen, as well as the dilemmas and mechanism of ecological protection of grassland. Then the ideal picture of ecological governance of grassland will be outlined briefly.Kazakh Herdsmen in east village have been living in the beautiful natural grassland. Since the end of the 1990s, the rapid decline of status of grassland has appeared at local grassland. Especially since 2000, the exploitation of resources has greatly aggravated the deterioration of grassland. The livelihood and life of the herdsmen were also affected, which makes the work of ecological environmental protection of grassland increasingly serious. Under the background of growing environmental protection, the local government, enterprises and herdsmen take their own ecological strategies and actions to protect ecological environment of grassland.Under the logic of government, herdsmen become the main object in the implementation of ecological protection policy. In order to protect the grassland, the government launched the "settlement and promoting herd" project, trying to settle herdsmen and rear livestock in accordance with the logic of agriculture. Secondly, complex local enterprises reacted differently to the ecological environment protection of grassland. Among them, the great local influence is the implementation of ecological restoration. However, a series of actions to restore the environment has exposed the logic of interests according to the differential order. Facing the broken grassland and the deterioration of living environment, based on survival needs, the acts of "road block" is took by herdsmen which also use the identity of "weak" to obtain the restoration of grassland.In the background of the ecological environment protection of grassland, the strategy and action of government, enterprises and herdsmen failed to reverse the trend of deterioration. Admittedly, the ecological environment of the east village also experienced a development issue. In front of development, the local governments and enterprises have very urgent goal of development. It is unavailable for them to effectively achieve the environmental protection. On the other hand, traditional herdsmen formed coordinated development concept in the course of long nomadic life, which will help to maintain ecological environment protection of grasslands and their livelihood. However, under the authority of the development, the words of local herdsmen are easily ignored. The author believes that the realization of the interaction, especially the participation of nomads group is necessary for ecological environmental protection of grassland. Also, the ecological environment governance of prairie needs further implement by ecological modernization. |
