CHINA-NINGXIA-HUNAN-POWER TRANSMISSION PROJECT-CONSTRUCTION (CN)

(240710) -- YINCHUAN, July 10, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- A staff member of the Ningxia branch of State Grid Corporation of China works at the construction site of the Zhongning converter station in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, July 10, 2024. Construction of the Zhongning converter station is under way as part of an ultra-high voltage (UHV) power transmission line stretching over 1,600 km from northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to central China's Hunan Province. The project will transmit electricity generated from wind and photovoltaic power stations in China's fourth largest desert, the Tengger Desert. It is expected to be completed in 2025 and has a designed annual power transmission capability of about 36 billion to 40 billion kilowatt-hours. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM/Wang Peng)

Workers pave straw checkerboards in the Tengger Desert, in Zhongwei of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, May 29, 2024. In the 1950s, to protect China's first railway that runs through a desert, the city of Zhongwei embarked on a journey of desert mitigation. Scientists at the Shapotou Desert Research and Experiment Station, part of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with local residents, developed straw checkerboards to stabilize the sand and prevent dunes from shifting. Tang Ximing, a senior engineer at a state-owned forestry farm in Zhongwei, crafted a steel tool that differs from regular shovels by featuring two horizontal bars at the front tip. This innovative tool enables the planting of seedling roots 50 centimeters deep into the moist sand layer. This simple tool increases the survival rate of afforestation by 25 percent to over 85 percent. It has been widely promoted and used in afforestation projects across other regions i
