Abstract:

In this paper, we review and summarize the concepts and connotations of rural revitalization, and explore its relationship with the inhabitants of grassland and pastoral regions. Rural revitalization in pastoral regions contributes to alleviating poverty, ensuring harmony and stability, safeguarding national unity, enhancing ecological barriers, and reducing pressure in rural areas. Favorable conditions for implementing a rural revitalization strategy in pastoral areas, such as rich natural resources, a profound grassland culture, diversified material inheritance, beautiful natural landscape, and high development potential were identified and analyzed. The following measures are proposed to promote the inhabitants of pastoral areas to take the lead in rural revitalization: Extension of the industry chain of green livestock products; Building the value chain to increase the prosperity of the industry; Improvement of the human carrying capacity in grassland through grassland improvement; Development of a variety of industries to absorb surplus farmers and herders to achieve ecological livability; Strengthening of education in pastoral areas; Maintaining and improving infrastructure in grassland areas; And cultivating a good atmosphere for farmers and herders. It is important to improve the laws and regulations and compliance with such laws, while still respecting the autonomy of farmers and herders to achieve effective governance. Policies to support and guide the development of cultural tourism, and to increase the flower, food, and medicinal material industries in pastoral areas will allow their inhabitants to have prosperous lives.

Key words: grassland, pastoral areas, rural revitalization
