Approaches Choice For Grassland Governess Under Non-market Value Assesssment

Grassland resources are the largest natural ecological barriers and an important basis for the development of animal husbandry in China.They also relate to the strategic overall situation of economic and social development.In recent years,the government implemented grassland management policies focusing on the policy of granting incentives for returning livestock to grassland and grassland ecological protection.The grassland has continued to degrade and has achieved certain ecological effects.However,the grassland ecological environment still presents a general trend.The threat of unsustainable use such as improving on point,degrading surface,improving locally,and worsening overall.Over-grazing,declining groundwater level,and degradation of grassland is still severe.Grassland ecological control is still the weakest link in the construction of national ecological civilization..Therefore,the research and exploration of grassland management approaches is not only the ecological needs of grassland restoration,but also an important supplement to the current state-dominated governance model.At present,herdsmen’s use of grassland and the government’s approach to grassland management only consider the market value of pasture resources,and ignore their non-market value,resulting in “abnormal growth” of grassland ecosystems,ie unsustainable grassland utilization patterns.In addition,the herdsmen,as the microcosmic subject of grassland ecological restoration,often neglect their preferences and willingness to formulate ecological restoration policies,which easily leads to the inconsistency between local government and herdsmen’s preference for grassland restoration,and in the process of policy implementation,the government and herdsmen tend to conflict.Ultimately,it is difficult to obtain the desired policy effect.Based on this,this paper takes the typical ecologically fragile area of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the research area,follows the principle of differential analysis of grazing prohibition areas and grass-animal balance areas,and uses selection experiments to observe the ecological restoration preferences and payment of the interests of herdsmen in the process of grassland ecological governance.Willingness,and based on this perspective,explore the herdsmen’s willingness to choose the grassland management approach from the perspective of non-market value,and finally try to put forward the corresponding policy basis for the selection of grassland management approaches.The main conclusions obtained in this paper are as follows: 1)Herdsmen in forbidden grazing areas most hope that the grassland landscape will be improved,while pastoralists in grassland and livestock grazing areas prefer to give priority to ecological restoration and there is significant heterogeneity;2)Herdsmen in forbidden grazing areas control grassland The willingness to pay is 1,250.50 yuan per year per household,which is significantly higher than the 412.96 in the livestock and poultry balancing area.3)The non-market value of pasture resources in the grazing prohibition area with the Da Maoqi as an example is 1.407 billion yuan.The balance area is 0.930 million yuan;4)77% of the interviewees are willing to change existing grassland management approaches and have a higher willingness to participate in multi-center governance approaches;5)Pastoral landscape and social networks are positive for the willingness of herdsmen to participate in grazing prohibition areas.Impact,herdsmen living in grassland and livestock balance areas are positively affected by the years of living,the recognition of collaboration effects,the cognition of fence influence,and the willingness to reduce livestock.Based on the above conclusions,the following policy recommendations are proposed: 1)Priority should be given to the development of grassland landscapes in forbidden grazing areas,and the restoration of groundwater and other ecological indicators should be emphasized in grass-animal balance areas;2)Institutional basis for multi-centre governance approaches in pastoral areas;steppe landscapes should be strengthened in grazing-free areas And to broaden the social network,the grass-animal balance area needs to strengthen the capacity for collective action in pastoral areas.
