The Gelo’s Wisdom on Water Ecology from the Ecological Concept of “Shield and Sustain”

Abstract

With today’s commitment to holding and carrying forward Gelos’ traditional wisdom of water protection, it is recommended to popularize and apply the modern water conservancy science and technology and the Gelos’ traditional wisdom of water protection in a parallel or integrated way, which is of far-reaching significance to boosting the rural revitalization of the Gelo ethnic group and even promoting the domestic construction of modern ecological civilization.
