近年來,白(bai)水縣委、縣政府不斷加強對(dui)林皋(gao)湖(hu)的綜合治理(li),加大(da)濕(shi)地(di)生(sheng)態修復力度,已投(tou)資1.1億(yi)元(yuan)對(dui)林皋(gao)湖(hu)周圍山體坡面和(he)湖(hu)岸護坡進行(xing)綠化(hua),同時對(dui)環湖(hu)路進行(xing)硬(ying)化(hua)、綠化(hua),公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)基礎設施(shi)已初具雛形。周邊群(qun)眾對(dui)濕(shi)地(di)公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)建(jian)設支持力度大(da),配合濕(shi)地(di)公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)建(jian)設的積(ji)極性(xing)和(he)主動性(xing)非常(chang)高。林皋(gao)湖(hu)國家濕(shi)地(di)公(gong)(gong)園(yuan)申報成(cheng)功,將為(wei)白(bai)水縣優(you)化(hua)生(sheng)態環境、開(kai)發(fa)生(sheng)態旅(lv)游(you)、打造旅(lv)游(you)勝地(di)起(qi)到積(ji)極的促進作用。
該濕地(di)(di)公(gong)園今后的發(fa)(fa)展(zhan)將以(yi)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)型社會公(gong)益建設(she)項目為導(dao)向,以(yi)保(bao)護(hu)和恢復(fu)自然生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)系統為目標(biao),以(yi)發(fa)(fa)展(zhan)濕地(di)(di)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)物多(duo)樣性、維持區域生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)平衡為重點,以(yi)堅持“保(bao)護(hu)優先、科學修復(fu)、合理利(li)用、持續(xu)發(fa)(fa)展(zhan)”為基(ji)本原(yuan)則,使建成后的林(lin)皋(gao)湖國家濕地(di)(di)公(gong)園成為我國西北黃土臺塬溝壑(he)區生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)恢復(fu)示范基(ji)地(di)(di)、陜西省(sheng)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)態(tai)文明建設(she)的示范點。
