In the southwestern edge of the Taklama -Ganan Desert, Mai Gati County, Xinjiang, which is carried on three sides of the Yerbao River, is surrounded by sand on three sides, like a piece of emerald inlaid in the sandy sea. This is the southwest exit of the Chinese and foreign adventure scientific research teams entering the "Sea of ​​Death". From 2012 to the present, the people, trees, and sand here have interpreted a story of ten years of windproof and sandwich ecological forest construction.

June 17 this year is the 28th world to prevent desertification and drought day. The reporter set off from Mai Gati County, Kashgar, Xinjiang, entered a section of township, and arrived at the construction base of wind -proof sandproofing ecological forest construction at Magati Prefecture.

Ning Zhongshuai, deputy director of Mai Geiti Prefecture, pointed at Xinjiang Yang, who said, said that before 2012, it was still the desert. In the past ten years, 300,000 people in Macaiti Prefecture made 460,000 acres of afforestation, and planted 240 million seedlings such as Yang, shuttle, and euphratica in Xinjiang. Especially this spring, the wind -proof sand and ecological forests of Kizili Avati Township and Kumukusal Township have been connected. Like a bright moon, 300,000 various ethnic groups of Macagati County with the primitive oasis on the banks of the Yeerqian River The masses are separated from the Taklimanan desert.

Ning Zhongshuai introduced that the Taklama -Gang Desert has a trend of shift south. At the entrance, Mai Gati County is the first gateway to the southwestern edge of the Tarim Basin. Disappearing on the film. Prior to 2012, farmland and houses of farmers were occupied by the local farmland, and they had to move away from their homes.

For tree planting is the problem of environmental beautification for other places, and it is related to the survival of 300,000 people in Macagati County.

According to the plan, the windproof and sandwood forest of Mai Gaiti County starts from the Third Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to the reservoir. The total area is 667 square kilometers, and 30,000 acres to 50,000 acres are built each year, and a total of 1 million acres are constructed.

It is difficult to plant trees. In the past ten years, every year in the spring and autumn seasons, 300,000 local people of all ethnic groups have devoted themselves to planting trees for about one month. The staff of the county sand prevention and sand control center even worked in the desert for 3 months and slept in the temporary construction headquarters. Essence

Because the sand soil is too barren, each planting pit needs to be placed 5 kg of soil, 5 kg of farmhouse fertilizer, 100 grams of organic fertilizer, 1 kg of grass and gray ash, and then mix well with the wet sand. The root of the poplar tree is developed, the crown is high, and the wind resistance is strong. It is a commonly used tree species of Xinjiang farmland protective forests and oasis protective forests. Salt -alkali land uses shuttle, high -economic and high economic benefits, sand dates, sea buckthorn, and wolfberry.

Asked, who performed well in this "long -lasting war" of planting trees? A local cadre said: "300,000 people of all ethnic groups are heroes."

Desert planting trees, three -pointers and seven points. In order to prevent rabbits from eating small trees, people will wrap a layer of iron mesh on the trunk each of the next small tree; where does the water come from? Although the desert is here, the groundwater is abundant, and it has rejected 450 shots. To this end, it has a single transmission line of 350 kilometers. At the same time, the sand prevention and sand treatment center currently hires 253 local control guards.

No. 130 Machinery Management Guard staff purchased Titamin Emil, and in May 2020, he took his wife to be a manager, managed the two -eye well, 1500 acres of forest land, and eating and accommodation in the house next to the well. "When I first arrived, the poplar trees were only two or three meters high, and there were scattered sand under the tree. Now it is five or six meters. The forests are still full of weeds. The hare and pheasant are very common and can see foxes." He said. The ancestors did not plant trees in the desert. The tree species lived here, just like turning sand into gold.

Buying Timing said with a smile that his child may no longer see the picture of the sand that blows down the bucket of the bucket. According to the statistics of the local meteorological department, the overall survival rate of various seedlings has reached more than 95%over the past ten years, and the weather in wind and sand has been reduced from more than 150 days before 2010 to less than 50 days.

Ning Zhongshuai stood at the junction of the desert and forest land and said that defending the oasis civilization is what our children have always adhered to. At this time, the setting sun passed through the Yaqian River, and the windshield was dyed into a lighter red, and the endless desert seemed extremely quiet.
