Observation of the front -line observation of Maowu Sushadi, Kubuqi desertification governance

"Click the lights during the day, the door is blocked at night, the beginning of spring is not out, and the sand is buried." This is the once wide spread of Hangjinqi, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

As the seventh largest desert in my country, the Kubuqi Desert in Hangjin Banner accounts for 71%of the total area of ​​the Curbeqi desert. The once vast sandy sea caused the local people to suffer. "The sand sweeping is the first thing to teach us in the school." When mentioning that year, Zhang Zijun, who was born in Hang Jinqi, still remembered. In the years of Huajia, he recalled that the teachers and classmates had to dig away the sand at the door of the classroom every morning, and then sweep off a thick layer of soil on the desk before everyone could take class.

Sand damage made the people of Hang Jinqi suffer. In the early 1950s, Hangjinqi set up the first batch of sand control stations and state -owned forest farms, planting "lock -edge forests" along the edge of the desert, and began to explore the treatment of trees.

"When you start planting trees, there is no way or water. People have to prepare a day's dry food to get rid of afforestation. Sometimes it is scraped by a large wind, and the dry food is full of sand." Jia Wenyi, the head of Shilazhazha, Shilazha, Dugu, Hang Jinqi, said, "Although it is hard, everyone goals are the same, that is, to plant more trees."

In the long -term practice exploration, the local people summarized the principles of the governance principles of "easy, then difficult, from near and far, lock -edge cutting, partition governance, and overall advancement". The coverage and vegetation coverage increased year by year, and the sandy sea gradually became an oasis.

Today, Hangjinqi has achieved a result of governance of Cubuqi desert area exceeding 6,000 square kilometers. In December 2018, Hangjinqi Kubuqi Desert -related ecological demonstration zone was awarded the national "green water and green mountains is the Jinshan Yinshan" practice innovation base.

After 40 years of forestry technicians, Zhang Runhuan participated in the sand control in Hangjinqi when he was young. After retiring, he built a 50 -acre fruit tree seedling base in the local area, and this base also became the silhouette of the local green economy development. "Our sand control experience is slowly learned by the outside world. In the past, the deserted sand land has now become a seedling cultivation base. A variety of forest seedlings such as poplars, sandylings, lemon fry, and fruit seedlings are transported from here to All places. "Zhang Runhuan said," Everyone has become rich through sand control, and has really eaten 'ecological rice'. "

The Maowu Sandi with a total area of ​​about 70 million acres is distributed in three provinces of Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, of which 47.71 million mu in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Since the 1950s, local cadres and the masses have continued their efforts to make the once -ignited place now.

Touching a stout poplar tree in the sand, Sheng Wanzhong, who was over seventy years old, said with emotion: "At that time, I was bundled with the saplings that were bundled into the sand, which was the forest in front of me." Since 1984, I have lived in Ordos City. Sheng Wanzhong, a villager in the village of Sarawu, the village of Sarachi, was built in the Laowu Sands. Today, the afforestation area has reached more than 10,000 acres.

From the collective planting trees of the brigade commune that year, to the sand land contracted after the reform and opening up, to the construction of the Sanbei protective forest and the Beijing -Tianjin wind and sand source governance project, for many years, the local uniquely passed the "front gear and back, wearing boots and hats" and other unique features. The sand control mode has made Mao Wusha, which was originally difficult to produce, a "stuffing oasis" in the Yellow River Basin.

In Xinmin Village, Duorian, Duolin, Duolin County, Xilin, the mountains of camphor pine, poplars, elm, lemon strips, and Yang Chai grow up in the sun. This is the trees in the villagers Ma Yunping forest. No one had thought that such a Linfeng grass -luminous ecological oasis used to be a desolate sand.

Duolun County is located in the southern edge of Hunanta Sands. There are three large sand belts in the central and northern parts of the county. In the past spring, wind and sand are coming. On the ground, the land does not fight food, and the sand is buried in "to describe the scene at that time. In 2000, Duolun County launched the Beijing -Tianjin wind and sand source governance project, which opened the prelude to the large -scale ecological construction.

It was also since then that Ma Yunping and his wife contracted more than 3,700 acres of sand land, fixing sand before planting trees. In order to ensure the lives of afforestation, Ma Yunping rushed to pull the carriage to pull the water. Later, he bought a four -wheeled car to pull the water at home, and then poured every sapling by artificially picking the water dunes. Ma Yunping plant trees in spring, summer, autumn, and branches in winter.

There must be gains in cultivation. Today, Ma Yunping has become a small local "sand control force". After years of experience accumulation, Ma Yunping has gradually developed his own sand control industry and planting Chinese herbal medicines in forests to increase income.

Over the years, Duolun County has taken the principle of adapting to local conditions, Yijiao Qiao, Yiguan, and grass, grass, grass, grasping trees with one hand, grasping the ban on animal husbandry, and taking multiple measures to comprehensively manage the sandy land. Through more than 20 years of ecological construction, the local forest coverage rate has been increased from 6.8%in 2000 to 37.9%now, and the vegetation coverage of the sand control project area has been increased from less than 30%in 2000 to 85%today. "Beijing -Tianjin Fengshayuan" has now become "Beijing back garden".

"It can leave a blue sky and green land for future generations, and even more sweats are worth it!" Ma Yunping said.
