The Zhuofu grassland in Bijie city, Guizhou province, has evolved from a barren area into a plateau grassland after decades of work. Over 600 hectares of alpine grassland have been artificially restored.
In the 1980s, the pasture was a barren and desolate mountain range, unsuitable for planting or grazing. Ren Jizhou, a grassland ecologist and academic of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, proposed the idea of developing grassland ecological animal husbandry after conducting research on the grassland resources.
In 1986, the Zhuofu grassland was officially established as a testing, demonstration and promotion base for a grassland animal husbandry system project. As a result of Ren's effort, the once barren slopes are now covered with grass.
In addition to providing beautiful scenery, the grassland is also a generator of wind power with 100 large turbines rotating in the wind.
