Abstract

The Purpose of these Regulations is to protect, construct and utilize grasslands rationally and promote the sustainable development of grassland ecosystem. The Regulations are divided into 6 Chapters: General Provisions (I); Planning and Construction (II); Contractual Management (III); Protection and Utilization (IV); Legal Liabilities (V); Supplementary Provisions (VI). The local people's governments at or above county level shall be responsible for conducting surveys of grassland resources within their respective administrative areas and formulating plans for the protection, construction and utilization of grasslands. The grasslands, those under collective ownership, and those under ownership by the state that are assigned to collectives for use, may be contracted by the households or the group of households within the collective economic organizations. The grasslands under ownership by the State that have been assigned to "the whole people" owned entities according to law, may be managed by contracting. The people's governments at or above the county level may, according to the needs of the protection of grasslands, establish provincial or national grassland nature reserves in areas such as the distribution area of rare and endangered species of wild fauna and flora, and the grassland area with important ecological functions or economic and scientific research value. The amount of livestock kept by the user or the contractor of the grassland shall not exceed the approved stocking capacity.
