Yinchuan, June 11 /Xin Hua/ — On Tuesday, a training course dedicated to technologies for preventing desertification and combating it opened in the city of Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region /NHA, Northwest China/, with the participation of 20 students from Mongolia.
During the five-day event, students will familiarize themselves with local experience and results in combating desertification. They will visit two projects in the city of Chjunwei – the Shapotou district, where a project to prevent desertification using wheat straw grids is implemented, as well as a photoelectric base in the Tengger Desert. In addition, they will visit the Baicizitan National Nature Reserve in the city of Linzhou and the territory of a winery in the city of Yinchuan, which was transformed from an abandoned gravel extraction area.
The NXAR is surrounded by the Mu-Us, Tengger, and Ulan Buh deserts on three sides. The area of desert and sandy lands in this autonomous region amounted to 2.64 million hectares and 1 million hectares respectively, or 50.7 percent and 19.3 percent of the total territory of the region. Thanks to relentless efforts to combat desertification, NXAR became the first administrative unit at the provincial level in China where a reduction in both indicators was recorded.
Currently, in NASA, a system to combat desertification has been created taking into account regional characteristics in six directions: combating desertification through science and technology, combating desertification through industrial development, combating desertification through photovoltaic stations, combating desertification through the construction of highways, combating desertification through mechanical equipment, as well as joint prevention of desertification and joint combat against it.
According to the head of the Foreign Affairs Office of the People’s Government of the NXAR Bai Yuichzhen, desertification is a common ecological problem faced by both China and Mongolia. She expressed hope that both sides would reach a greater consensus in the field of cooperation, create a platform for exchanges and cooperation among technical specialists, and also contribute to the implementation of a larger number of cooperative projects aimed at jointly preventing desertification and combating it, ecological restoration of vegetation, development of “green” industries, and others.
