The main problems are as follows: the continuous decrease of the lake water level and deterioration of water quality; the extension of the areas of grassland degradation and damage by venomous grass, mice and grasshoppers; the spread of land desertification and severe water and soil erosion; danger of extinction of some rare and endangered wild animals and fishery. In order to protect and improve the eco-environment and make it sustainable development within the watershed or beyond, the following five countermeasures should be taken into account: (1) to improve the whole society’s the ecological awareness in significance of Qinghai Lake; (2) to apply the concept of the “social-economy-nature compound ecosystem” into treatment of the watershed; (3) to strengthen the construction of national nature reserve; (4) to extensively develop the forest-grass inter-cropping system and increase vegetation coverage degree; (5) to construct “the management center for monitoring eco-environment of the Qinghai Lake watershed”as soon as possible.Read More
