The poverty counties identified in China’s “Eight-seven Poverty Alleviation Plan”are mainly distributed in the
plateau and mountainous areas of the northwest, southwest, and central regions. These poverty areas have few land,
water shortage, backward transportation, and poor agricultural production conditions; the masses are poorly
educated and their ideas are backward; the local government’s ability to lead the masses to become rich in a
scientific and technological way is weak, and the responsibility for poverty alleviation and development is not in
place. Therefore, in order to win the battle against poverty, it is necessary to strengthen the infrastructure
construction of the ecological environment in poverty areas and increase the intensity of ecological environment
management; improve the poverty alleviation policy, and provide policy guarantees for alleviation of poverty
people in poverty areas; increase the central government’s investment in poverty alleviation, and actively develop
town and village enterprises to comprehensively improve the production and living conditions in poverty areas;
promote the development of cultural and educational causes, and achieve a“win-win”situation for poverty
alleviation and ecological civilization construction.
