Issues and Reconsideration to the Zoological Environment in Western Minority Regions in the Course of Development

Pushing forward the development of the Western Region and accelerating the development of the middle and the western region is a strategic decision that the Central Administration made when facing the new century. It is a significant opportunity as well to gradually narrow down the development gap between the middle and western region and the eastern region. Otok, locating in the west of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is a typical region where the Mongolian minority live in the compact communities. There are rich natural resources but weak ecological environment, which is the representative feature of our western ethnic region. This essay, taking Otok Huxuu as an example, analyzes the major ecological environment issues and the causes of these issues. Then it comes to a conclusion that the ecological environment issues Otok Huxuu is confronted with are extraordinarily typical in the western ethnic region of China. The causes and solutions to these issues have popular significance to the western ethnic region in the development of the western region.
