Research on Ecological Construction and Alternative Livelihood Choices in Sanjiang Nature Reserve

Based on clarifying the concepts of ecological construction and alternative livelihoods, this paper analyzes the relationship between the two and believes that the implementation of ecological construction is a driving factor for seeking alternative livelihoods. The implementation of alternative livelihoods can provide guarantees and support for ecological construction, eliminate the negative impact of ecological construction, and solve economic and social problems. By analyzing the current situation and problems of the Sanjiang Nature Reserve, three ecological construction projects, namely returning farmland to wetlands, returning farmland to grasslands, and facility construction, are proposed to promote the healthy development of wetlands in the Sanjiang Nature Reserve, as well as alternative livelihood models for ecological migration, traditional agricultural transformation, and diversified industrial development.
