Dongwuqi Healthy Grassland (larger in area than Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands):

Healthy Grassland Dongwu Banner - Harmonious Coexistence between Grassland Ecology and Indigenous Herdsmen Culture.
Among them, Mandu Baolige Sumu covers an area of 4717 square kilometers (Mandu Hubaolage Town).

There are still 699 native vascular plants in Mandu Baolige.

EurAsian Steppe
　

Steppe level, grassy treeless plain, esp in SE Europe and central Asia.

Steppe It specifically refers to the treeless grassland belt from Central Europe to central Asia, named after the iconic colonial species Stipa (Latin for Stipa)

Nature has arranged two types of ecosystems for our country: the cold and dry grassland area (with only three months of green plant growth period) and the forest area with abundant rainfall (including the evergreen green mountains in the south).

Over the past three thousand years, humans have developed two civilizations in the two ecological zones mentioned above: the nomadic civilization that does not compete with animals for grass and protects plants, and the agricultural civilization that mainly eats plants and plant seeds.
　

Two civilizations construct the history of our country, influencing the reproduction and even survival of natural ecosystems and wild animal and plant populations. Of course, the addition of artificial insecticides and herbicides in the post industrial era, as well as intensive fattening and feeding of animal meat and milk, has led to the extinction of a wider range of native plant and animal habitats and populations.
　

Conclusion:

One of the largest carbon reservoirs on Earth is grasslands, accounting for 34% of the total organic carbon on Earth. Grassland ecosystems and vegetation play an extremely important role in maintaining global and regional ecological balance.
We need to reflect on and correct the invasion and ecological damage caused by foreign cultures in the cold and arid grassland areas of northern China, and protect the last grassland ecosystem and wild animal and plant populations in Inner Mongolia in accordance with the law.
