China's anti-desertification practice amazes international students

STORY: China's anti-desertification practice amazes international students SHOOTING TIME: June 14, 2024 DATELINE: June 17, 2024 LENGTH: 00:00:57 LOCATION: LINGWU, China CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT SHOTLIST: 1. various of international students visiting the Baijitan national nature reserve 2. SOUNDBITE (English): RICHARD DJURIST NGENZI, Tanzanian student, Ningxia Medical University STORYLINE: A group of 25 students from over 10 countries visited the Baijitan national nature reserve in northwest China's Ningxia on Friday, marveling at China's efforts in combating desertification. Ningxia is surrounded by desert on three sides. Baijitan, edged by Maowusu, one of China's major deserts, is one of the hardest-hit place, highly vulnerable to sandstorm catastrophes. Over the past 70 years, with the unremitting efforts by local people and volunteers, 680,000 mu (45,333 hectares) of trees have been planted, raising the local forest coverage rate to 41 percent. The afforestation has curbed the expansion of the desert.

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.
