? Baseline
Yangping Township is located in the north of Yongsheng County, with 10,000 hectares of woodland and grassland (6,000 hectares of woodland and 4,000 hectares of grassland). The average altitude is over 2,600 meters, the terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, and there are high mountains (Talpo Ren Peak 3,593.5 meters above sea level), river valleys (Shangyangping River, Yangliu River, Banboqing River, Qingshui River) and Pinghu Lake (Yangping Reservoir) in the territory. The huge altitude difference and three-dimensional climate have bred biological diversity. There are rich biological resources in the territory. The main tree species are Yunnan pine, alpine pine, fir, hemlock, rare tree species, yew, etc. There are 81 known wild medicinal materials; There are more than 20 kinds of wild fungi; there are 24 kinds of mammals, mainly rare animals such as bears, leopards, rhesus monkeys, and white monkeys; there are 62 kinds of birds, among which parrots,

yellow warblers, and bald birds are more precious. Yangping Township has an average annual rainfall of 1030 millimeters and abundant water. It is the water tower of Yongsheng County. The two major rivers in the county, Wulang River and Renli River, both originate from Tarporen Peak. Yangping Reservoir not only irrigates tens of thousands of mu. The farmland is also responsible for drinking water for more than 100,000 people in Yongbei Town, Sanchuan Town, Chenghai Town, and Qina Town. Yangping Township is a town of pure Yi nationality, with a permanent population of 5,636 people who live scattered in Talboren Mountain, Guanmao Mountain, the mountains of Fenshuiling and around the Yangping Reservoir. In recent years, with the continuous development of the countryside, the production and life of villagers have brought serious threats to biodiversity, mainly due to the deforestation of trees, the indiscriminate digging of medicinal materials, the destruction of the ecological environment caused by environmental pollution, and the destruction of the drug environment. In order to alleviate the ecological pressure and restore the ecological environment, the government organizes labor export every year to help more farmers go out to work and develop; People's livelihood projects such as closing mountains for afforestation, Yangping Reservoir Lake Sewage Treatment Project, construction of harmless public toilets/household toilets, village garbage removal and incineration, and community cleaner system have greatly alleviated the deterioration of the ecological environment.

? Main problems
In recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, many migrant workers have returned to their hometowns to develop. Due to their livelihood, people have returned to the land and forests to develop traditional agriculture and animal husbandry. The local biological resources are rich. There are as many as 81 kinds of medicinal materials in the 10,000 hectares of forest land in the township. Among the medicinal materials, Dianzhonglou, Pearl Ginseng, and Polygonatum are more precious. The market price of Dianzhonglou and Pearl Ginseng is as high as 500 yuan/kg. The market price of wild chrysanthemum, ginseng, and sealwort seedlings is 2-3 yuan per plant. Due to livelihood and economic interests, wild chrysanthemum, ginseng, and sealwort have been frantically excavated. The annual excavation has led to a sharp decline in the stock of local wild medicinal resources, and the provenance of wild medicinal materials is facing the threat of extinction. Because wild medicinal materials are becoming less and less, people build medicinal gardens to simulate the wild environment to domesticate wild medicinal materials. Because they cannot breed seedlings, they can only dig seedlings in the wild for artificial planting. The output is 300 to 500 kilograms, and the output value is between 150,000 and 250,000 yuan. The planting cycle of pearl ginseng and Chonglou is 3 to 7 years, and the annual output value of 1 mu of medicinal materials is between 20,000 and 30,000 yuan. A small medicine garden made of wood appeared on the cultivated land in front of the house and behind the house. To build a medicine garden, many trees will be cut down to fence and shade, and such a medicine garden will have to be cut down again in 2-3 years to build a 1-acre garden. 50 30-centimeter trees will be cut down in the medicine garden, and nearly 0.5 mu of forest will be cut down. 60% of the 700 households in Yangping Village have medicinal plantations, and 400 households build medicine garden fences every year, which will consume 200 mu of forest; In addition, some farmers blindly expand family cattle and sheep breeding and overgrazing, which also overwhelms the grassland and forest land. These predatory production activities of people, such as cutting down trees to build medicine gardens, harvesting and digging wild medicinal materials, overgrazing, and environmental pollution, seriously damaged the local ecological environment and also destroyed the habitats of organisms, especially the unique local species of wild medicinal materials such as Dianzhong, Pearl Ginseng, and Polygonatum. Therefore, how to protect the local unique Dianzhong How to reduce the negative impact of the development of medicinal materials industry on local biodiversity has become the main problem and demand of the community.

Activity 3.
Project Activity 3. Raise the awareness of community ecological protection and spontaneously manage the community's ecological environment
3.1 Publicity and education of biodiversity knowledge: Carry out extensive publicity and education of biodiversity knowledge among community groups, formulate and implement village rules and regulations for biodiversity protection.
3.2 Household waste reduction and classification treatment: Carry out a total of 8 household waste classification and treatment activities once every two months, and carry out waste reduction, reuse and regeneration treatment on waste from households.
3.3 Community garbage management: Carry out a total of six community "six cleans and six cleans" activities once a quarter, that is, "clean up domestic garbage to keep the side of the barrel clean, clean up rivers and ditches to keep the water system clean, clean up rural waste to keep the countryside clean, Clean up the messy piles to make the front and back of the house clean, clean up the public places to make the public places clean, "remove community environmental garbage; prevent harmful waste from entering the environment and causing environmental pollution and destroying the habitat of organisms.

Anticipated results
1) Reduce 30 mu of deforestation through the "Grandma's Medicine Garden" courtyard economy sustainable livelihood and beneficial biodiversity practice with zero timber and zero natural provenance;
2) To protect the three wild medicinal species, which are unique to the 10,000 hectares of forest land in the community;
3) Through the innovation and development of the courtyard economy of the sustainable livelihood "Grandma's Medicine Garden", 60 women in the community have been successfully employed, and farmers' income has been increased by 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per year.
