en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 29, the natural gas exploration and development project site in Zigong, Sichuan, saw accelerated progress. To ensure project implementation, the Ministry of Natural Resources' site-specific supervision team conducted multiple special assessments with local officials, enterprise leaders, and experts, continuously improving the natural resource guarantee policies for the entire oil and gas resource chain.
From deep resource exploration to the rise of the blue economy, natural resource elements provide support for high-quality economic and social development. The natural resources department is focusing on leveraging resource elements as a "ballast stone" for national security, achieving positive results in farmland protection, mineral resource security, ecological restoration, and deep-sea and polar exploration. Targeting the 109 major projects to be implemented during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the natural resources department is comprehensively unblocking the "capillaries" of factor allocation.
— Proactive services, going to the front line to break through factor bottlenecks. The Longbaoshan rare earth mining area in Shandong once faced the dilemma of "inferred deposits but unable to locate them." The Ministry of Natural Resources' site-specific supervision team coordinated expert support within 48 hours, opening a breakthrough for mineral exploration. The Badong (Hubei) to Zhangjiajie (Hunan) highway was constrained by land use bottlenecks in mountainous areas. The team focused on "flexible boundary adjustments plus stock revitalization," clarifying the situation within three days. In the Daxing International Airport Airport Economic Zone at the border between Beijing and Hebei, administrative boundaries had fragmented land parcels. The team guided local authorities to explore cross-regional integrated land allocation, innovate delegation methods, and unify management authority, successfully removing obstacles. To support "major economic provinces taking the lead," 12 working groups from the Ministry of Natural Resources went to the front line for site-specific supervision, establishing a ministry-province linkage mechanism. They resolved 506 various difficult issues cumulatively, promoting the rapid implementation of 293 major projects by 2026.
— Deepening reforms, planning and coordinating to reshape spatial patterns. In Shaoxing's Zhizuo Agricultural Valley, Zhejiang, modern greenhouses and coffee shops coexist. The manager of Guqiu Coffee stated that thanks to the beautiful farmland scenery, daily revenue can exceed 20,000 yuan during peak season. Behind this is the coordination of natural resource management and territorial spatial planning under a "single map." The once fragmented "palm-sized fields" have been reshaped into "urban-rural co-prosperity units" where production, living, and ecology complement each other. In March this year, to support the commencement of key projects during the "15th Five-Year Plan," the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration jointly introduced 13 policy measures, vigorously promoting the integrated approval of land, forest, grass, and sea use. Ministerial-level administrative approvals are now handled centrally in a "one-stop" manner, with review procedures significantly reduced by two-thirds.
— Refined governance, digital empowerment to enhance allocation efficiency. Cities such as Shenzhen (Guangdong), Yinchuan (Ningxia), and Changsha (Hunan) are actively promoting comprehensive underground space development to improve the precision of factor allocation. In Chongqing's integrated intelligent public data platform, a centimeter-level "real-scene 3D" spatiotemporal base is becoming a "digital doctor" for the urban ecosystem, providing full-chain support for 423 ecological restoration projects.
— Upholding bottom lines, balancing overall considerations to strengthen security foundations. The 1.865 billion mu of farmland and 1.546 billion mu of permanent basic farmland have been designated with specific locations. To ensure food security, the farmland red line must be firmly guarded. Key projects such as the Feicheng energy storage station in Shandong once faced challenges overlapping with permanent basic farmland. The Ministry of Natural Resources guided local authorities to precisely "prescribe solutions." The adjusted plan not only ensured project implementation but also increased high-standard farmland by 1,380 mu.
A relevant official from the Ministry of Natural Resources stated that the ministry will continue to optimize the allocation of natural resource elements, fully support "major economic provinces taking the lead," and combine ministry and provincial efforts to "efficiently accomplish one task," promoting the rapid implementation and early effectiveness of key projects. It will scientifically delineate protection and supplementary spaces on the "single map" to achieve farmland retention targets. It will strengthen strategic mineral resource security through "one mine, one policy" measures, advancing reserve enhancement and production increase. It will also expand, strengthen, and optimize incremental resources such as oceans, forests, grasslands, and geographic information, creating new spaces for entrepreneurship and employment.
