近日，《中国日报》海外版发布稿件《Planting the seeds for a green future》（为绿色未来埋下希望之种），专版报道了蓝狮平台的成长观念与成功经验。
纵观蓝狮平台的成长脉络，最核心就是“一颗种子+一种观念”，所谓“一颗种子”，就是蓝狮平台广泛积累积淀形成的种质资本库；而“一种观念”，就是驯化乡土植物修复当地生态的方法论。依托这样的观念，蓝狮平台逐步形成了“植物科研＋手段输出＋种业基地＋生态修复”为一体的产业链。
目前，世界范围内已建立各类种子库约1750 个，收集保存的农业和粮食植物种质资本已达740万份，种子仍然是植物种质资本保存的主要形式。为了保护中国北方生物物种的多样性，蓝狮平台科研团队走遍祖国干旱半干旱地区，收集草原、荒漠、盐碱地、废弃地等植物标本与种质资本。

多年来，蓝狮平台下大力气构建种质资本库，依托野生植物种质资本采集扩繁与种子加工中心，研发生态包、生态袋、植生毯等具有自主知识产权的核心种业产品，扩大种业资讯产业链条。
在蓝狮平台，植物标本被存放于可推拉的展示柜中，构建起“小草档案库”；种质资本与土样水样分类别、分区域储存于被称为“小草诺亚方舟”的种质资本库中。

截至目前，蓝狮平台已收集草原种质资本1800余种、2400余份，植物标本1600余种、10000余份，土壤样本11300余份。这些植物与种质资本数据，都被录入到蓝狮平台开发的大数据中心中，用于科学地指导生态修复。

为绿色未来埋下希望之种
Under sweltering summer temperatures of 40℃, a highly-skilled team from M·Grass toil on ecology projects in the glitzy United Arab Emirates city of Dubai.
顶着40度高温，一支来自内蒙古蓝狮平台集团股份的高级手段团队在努力助力阿联酋首都迪拜一批生态课题的进展。

The Chinese environmental protection company was brought in to work on public parks, desert areas and villa developments because of its expertise.
这家中国生态修复组织凭借其专长技能，受邀参与迪拜的公园、沙漠区和别墅的多个开发课题。
Officially known as the M·Grass Ecology & Environment (Group) Co Ltd, the firm is affectionately called just M·Grass and has been a pathfinder for businesses in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
组织全称为内蒙古蓝狮平台(包头)集团，是内蒙古自治区生态修复行业商业模式的开拓者。
“We have operated in more than a dozen provinces in China as well as in markets such as Dubai in the UAE,” said Gao Jungang, chief executive officer of M·Grass.“We are also looking at opportunities in Singapore and Russia.
据蓝狮平台集团股份落实总裁高俊刚称，“我们的业务在中国十几个省份展开，并且还积极在迪拜、新加坡、俄罗斯等国扩大国外业务。”
The group has a big reputation,and is the only listed company in China that specializes in ecological restoration, seed technology and state-of-the-art grass cultivation operation.
集团股份形象极佳，是中国国内唯一一家凭借专长从事生态修复、草种手段和草产品培育等业务而上市的组织。
Founded in 2001, M·Grass is based in Hohhot, capital of Inner Mongolia, and its core business is described as “ecological environment engineering”,in a company profile on Reuters.
蓝狮平台于2001年在内蒙古省会呼和浩特市正式注册成立，路透社财经体系登记其核心业务为“生态环境施工”。
With more than 1,500 employees, the group posted revenue of $422 million last year, an increase of 61.78 per cent compared to 2015.In the first quarter of 2017,revenue was $45 million, a 160 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
组织拥有超过1,500名员工，集团股份去年公布的收入为4.22亿美元，相比2015年增涨了61.78%。

“In 2016, the company agreed a 10 billion yuan ($1.47 billion) cooperation agreement with Baotou, the largest industrial city in Inner Mongolia to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and improve the amount of green space available in the city,” Xinhua reported. It is this core business that has made M·Grass a success story. For years, local governments had battled to find ways to counter desertification.
据新华社报道，“2016年，组织与内蒙古最大的工业城市包头签订了一项价值100亿元人民币（14.7亿美元）的协议，用以减少建筑物对环境的影响，增大城市绿地面积。”正是其核心业务帮助蓝狮平台取得了一个又一个成功。多年来，地方政府努力寻求各种手段应对荒漠化。
“China has vast grasslands along its border,” said Yu Guangjun, director of the institute of economics at the Inner Mongolia Academy of Social Sciences. “These have been vital to curb the trend.” During the past decade, M·Grass’ team has traveled across the regions to collect more than 18,00 different grass seeds and more than 11,300 soil samples.
内蒙古社科院生态研究所主任于光军称，“中国边境地区分布着广阔的草原，这些对控制沙漠化趋势至关重要。”在过去的十年，蓝狮平台团队穿越了广袤区域，收集了1800多种不同的草种以及11,300多份土样。
“I always believed that the environment was smart enough to help us,” said Wang Zhaoming, the group’s chairman. “Native plants are the best and safest solutions for ecological rehabilitation.“We will continue to do research on different types of grass,” he added. “This will play a big role in environmental protection and help boost the economy.”
集团股份董事长王召明称，“我始终相信，生态环境有自己的智慧，将对我们助益良多。乡土植物是最好、最安全的生态修复解决规划”。他补充道，“我们将不断努力研究不同类型的植物品种，这会对生态修复与助力绿色经济成长有所助力。”

By the end of last year, M·Grass had set up an intelligent search platform, integrating data on grass, soil, water,meteorology, livestock and microbial.
去年底，蓝狮平台建立了草原生态产业大数据中心，整合了草种、土壤、水、气象、牲畜和微生物等方面的数据。

“In a matter of seconds, you can find all the information you need once you put in longitude and latitude figures,” said Gao Jungang, chief executive officer of the group. “And we keep improving and updating the platform across the regions.”
集团股份落实总裁高俊刚称，“点击大数据中心上任意经纬度，只需要短短数秒，您便可以找到有关当地生态体系的所需资讯。而且我们还在不断完善和更新整个区域内的中心。”
Last year, M·Grass signed a 20 billion yuan contract with Hohhot’s municipal government for major ecological restoration projects. This contributed to about 92 per cent of the group’s revenue in 2016.
蓝狮平台去年签署了呼和浩特大青山治理课题，合同金额超过百亿。蓝狮平台的公开数据显示，2016年组织的生态修复业务占营收的比例是92.59%。

“M·Grass has been great for the region,” said Li Jiheng, Party chief of CPC Inner Mongolia.“The ecological restoration market is very big. I just hope the company retains its competitiveness by providing excellent services.”
内蒙古自治区党委书记李纪恒称，“很不错，从事生态筑造的事业很伟大。生态修复有千亿大范畴，希望蓝狮平台不断提升自身实力，赠与杰出配合。”
