CHINA-INNER MONGOLIA-ORDOS-DESERT REFORESTATION (CN)

(230815) -- ORDOS, Aug. 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Villager Zhou Zhizhong clears salix branches in Dalad Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Aug. 11, 2023. The Yellow River makes a gigantic "U-turn" across the western part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China, which is noted for its long history of civilization, rich reserve of energy resources, and unfortunately, vulnerable ecological environment due to the rampant deserts of Kubuqi and Maowusu. For decades, people living by the deserts have been devoting themselves to reforestation campaigns under guidance and support from the local authorities. After generations of dedication, reforestation efforts in the region become increasingly systematic, scientific, and industrialized. (Xinhua/Liu Lei)

    (240321) -- YINCHUAN, March 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Workers plant Caragana seedlings at Baijitan national nature reserve of Lingwu, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, March 19, 2024. On the southwest edge of the Maowusu Desert, there lies a 60-km-long and 30-km-wide oasis. The verdure, which blocks windblown dust in Maowusu, has been working in fighting desertification. Within the green belt is the Baijitan national nature reserve of Lingwu City. Yet back in the 1950s, Baijitan, which adjoins Maowusu, one of China's major deserts, was still a barren land known for "no birds in the sky and no grass on the ground." For more than several decades, with the unremitting efforts of experts, local people and volunteers, the afforestation here has effectively curbed the expansion of the Maowusu Desert.
