China has brought concrete measures for desertification prevention and control to the world, as well as the development concept of harmonious coexistence between people and sand, and "green and rich development". "China has not only effectively improved its own ecological environment, but also actively promoted international cooperation in desertification prevention and control, setting an example for the global response to climate challenges." Recently, the website of the British Morning Star newspaper published an article praising China's achievements in the field of desertification prevention and control, believing that China has provided valuable reference for global desertification prevention and control. Desertification is a major ecological issue that affects human survival and development. China is one of the countries with the largest desertification area, the most affected population, and the most severe sandstorm hazards in the world. From the promulgation of the world's first desertification prevention and control law, to the organization and implementation of key ecological projects, and to strengthening technological innovation support... For a long time, China has regarded desertification prevention and control as the main task of desertification control and has taken a series of effective measures. Nowadays, China's forest coverage rate has exceeded 25%, and 53% of controllable desertification land has been effectively managed, becoming the country with the largest contribution to global greening and an international model for desertification prevention and control. There are three dimensions to understanding the wisdom of China in this historic transformation from "sand advancing and people retreating" to "green advancing and sand retreating". One is the dimension of time. According to a statement released by the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in early 2024, there is a global degradation of healthy land equivalent to the size of four football fields every second. However, combating desertification is not an easy task. Taking the prevention and control of desertification in the Taklamakan Desert as an example, by the end of 2024, the 3046 kilometer long green sand blocking protection belt surrounding the edge of the Taklamakan Desert will achieve comprehensive border closure. It took us nearly half a century to enclose the world's second largest mobile desert. Local officials recalled that almost every newly planted forest takes 3 years and is planted more than 3 times. Without the perseverance to never give up, where can the miracle of 'Green Lock Flowing Sand' come from? To control desertification, it is not only necessary to race against time, but also to work hard for a long time and persist in fighting a long-lasting battle. One is the dimension of space. The meteorological and hydrological conditions vary in different regions, therefore, the plans for preventing and controlling desertification will also differ. In the early stage of sand fixation and control in Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia, attempts were made to use methods such as pebble paving, asphalt sand mixing, and grass mat covering, but they were all completely buried by sandstorms. Once, the staff used straw to plant characters such as "Zhongwei Gusha Forest Farm" in the desert. Later, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the square shaped characters were not buried by sand. After repeated experiments, they finally invented the "straw grid" sand fixation method. In addition to the "straw grid", many places have also explored technologies such as biological sand control and photovoltaic sand control. Ideas determine the way out, but ideas also need to be tailored to local conditions. Classify and implement policies based on water, measure water accordingly, choose forests for forests, grasses for grasses, and wastelands for wastelands. This is the scientific method of desertification control and the wisdom that China has brought to the world. Another dimension is the relationship between humans and nature. As some experts have pointed out, combating desertification does not mean eliminating deserts. The purpose of sand prevention and control is to prevent and control sand hazards and turn them into benefits. For desertification and desertified land, measures can be taken to prevent damage, actively control it, and make moderate use of it. In Daiqintala Forest Farm, Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner, Xing'an League, Inner Mongolia, on the edge of Horqin Sandy Land, more than 7000 mu of Wenguan fruit trees not only effectively prevent sand storms, but also bring considerable economic income to the local people; Xiaxihao Town, Yumen City, Gansu Province, has transformed the former Gobi Desert into a 45000 acre high-quality goji berry production base, with an annual output of 12000 tons of dried goji berries and 5000 tons of goji berry pulp, with a production value of 580 million yuan; Maigaiti County in Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, used to be a yellow sandy land, but now it is covered with green slopes. Desert tourism has become a new direction for industrial development... In fact, "controlling sand hazards" and "promoting sand benefits" can be completely unified; The deep integration of industry and desertification control can produce a "1+1gt; 2" effect. It can be said that China has brought concrete measures to prevent and control desertification to the world, as well as the development concept of harmonious coexistence between people and sand, and "green prosperity and mutual prosperity". Desertification prevention and control are related to sustainable human development. As a participant and leader in global desertification control, in the future, China will uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, further share technology and exchange experiences, work together with all parties to add more greenery to the earth, and contribute more wisdom and strength to building a beautiful and livable common home.
