| Abstract: | This study aims to implement the empirical analysis of the effects of the adaptive measures on the income of herdsmen in the context of the climate change with the positive mathematical programming (PMP) model. The survey was first implemented in three counties in the Three Headwaters Region. Finally the measures and recommendations suitable for the economic development in the ecologically fragile areas were proposed. The main conclusions are as follows: priority can be given to the measures to prevent the damage from rats and the engineering measures for pasture maintenance in Zeku County, where the geological conditions and grass quality are inferior; while the fiscal subsidy can be prioritized in Tongde County where the grassland area is relatively less. These recommendations can not only provide good reference for the protection of grassland resources, but they also lay a foundation for the implementation of more suitable measures to help the herdsmen in the ecologically fragile areas to adapt to the climate change. |
