The project plans to have a total investment of 200 million yuan and will be implemented in five phases. The investment for this phase is 29.8 million yuan, including plant planting, seedling irrigation, gully management, and electrical engineering construction. After the completion of the project, it can increase the area of forest land and vegetation coverage, enhance the soil and water conservation capacity of mountainous slopes, slow down local gully debris flow disasters, and help improve the vegetation restoration and ecological environment quality of the reservoir area. The operation, lifespan, and safety production of the Wudongde Hydropower Station reservoir area will have significant comprehensive ecological benefits. To provide new opportunities for the development of resources in the old, young, border, and poor areas of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces along the Yangtze River, and for the improvement of local people's lives. The demonstration forest area of the pilot village of this project is located on both sides of the external traffic road on the right bank of the Wudongde Hydropower Station, and is a gateway node for entering and exiting the Wudongde Hydropower Station. The construction of public welfare forests will sort out the barren mountains and wasteland suitable for forestry, showcase the project area's unique features and local red cultural resources, showcase the achievements of vegetation ecological restoration in the reservoir area, and play a demonstration and driving role in the construction of beautiful Wudongde.
