The Research on the Ecological Environment Construction and Poverty Alleviation Development in "Three Rivers Parallel Flow Area" of Yunnan Province

A balanced approach to ecological protection and poverty alleviation can achieve sustainable development in the UNESCO-listed Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas. The study highlights that integrating environmental benefits with economic and social gains—through market-oriented strategies, cost-benefit analysis, and long-term forest conservation along the Lancang, Jinsha, and Nu Rivers—enables simultaneous ecological security and regional prosperity. This method not only addresses immediate poverty reduction but also safeguards natural heritage for future generations, offering a scalable model for downstream regions. The research emphasizes shifting from resource-driven to sustainable development paradigms while aligning with China's western development and ecological protection policies.
