He emphasized the need to shoulder the mission bravely, not be afraid of hardships, and work hard for a long time to create a new miracle in China's sand prevention and control in the new era, to build the green barrier of thousands of miles in the northern region of the motherland more firmly, and to achieve greater success in building a beautiful China.

A good ecology is what the people hope for. From 2005 to 2022, the National Plan for Desertification Prevention and Control has been continuously updated, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to desertification prevention and control work, making it the main task of desertification prevention and control. The key governance areas have achieved a historic transformation from "sand entering and people retreating" to "green entering and sand retreating", and desertification and land desertification have achieved "dual reduction"... After more than 40 years of unremitting efforts, China's desertification and desertification land governance have shown a good trend of "overall improvement and accelerated improvement". At present, the fundamental principles of large, widely distributed, severe, and difficult desertification control in China have not been fundamentally changed, and the situation of desertification prevention and control remains severe. We need to fully understand the long-term, arduous, repetitive, and uncertain nature of sand prevention and control work, further improve our position, enhance our sense of mission and urgency, promote high-quality development of sand prevention and control, and paint a beautiful and updated picture of China.

Sand prevention and control is a process of rolling stones up the mountain, and even a slight relaxation can lead to recurrence, especially in the ecologically fragile Three North region, which is a long-term historical task. We must adhere to a systematic concept and solidly promote the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands. From the Three-North Shelterbelt Program, to the Beijing Tianjin sandstorm source control project, to the conversion of farmland to forest and grassland, in recent years, China has continued to promote the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, promoting the "retreat of sand" with "green advance", and has written a world-renowned green answer on the vast land. Monitoring data shows that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's forest coverage has increased from 21.63% to the current 24.02%, forest area has increased to 231 million hectares, grassland area has reached 265 million hectares, and comprehensive grassland vegetation coverage has reached 50.32%. At present, the problems of insufficient total ecological resources, low quality, and weak functions in China still exist. It is necessary to coordinate the protection and restoration of forests, grasslands, wetlands, and deserts, strengthen regional joint prevention and control, continuously optimize the structure of agricultural, forestry, and animal husbandry land use, strictly implement land use control, leave sufficient ecological space, and continue to promote the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sands.

Sand prevention and control is a complex system engineering that involves ecological, economic, social and other issues, and has strong scientific significance. It must be scientifically implemented. A series of achievements have been made in biological sand fixation, such as quicksand control technology, governance models, selection of sand fixing plants, and mechanized sand control, forming many industry standards and successful examples. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, generations of scientific and technological workers in desertification control have carried out interdisciplinary research. China's national defense desertification control has made great progress in theory and technology, and has formed a "1+N" desertification monitoring system mainly based on macro monitoring, supplemented by thematic monitoring, positioning monitoring, and annual trend monitoring in key areas, achieving the integration of air, space, and network monitoring. In the new era and new journey, we must consistently adhere to scientific desertification control, deepen the application of science and technology in the field of desertification prevention and control, actively carry out key technological breakthroughs in ecological protection and restoration, scientifically choose vegetation restoration models, and comprehensively improve the quality and stability of desert ecosystems.

Humanity has only one home on Earth, and desertification prevention and control is a great cause related to the sustainable development of humanity. In recent years, China has insisted on deepening implementation and international cooperation, strengthened exchanges and cooperation with developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other countries, promoted cooperation on combating desertification in the "the Belt and Road" initiative, highlighted China's image as a responsible major country, contributed the "China Plan" to global ecological governance, and launched international cooperation on combating desertification has become a highlight of China's diplomatic work. As an important participant, contributor and leader in global desertification prevention and control, China has deepened its implementation and international cooperation, actively participated in global desertification environmental governance, focused on strengthening cooperation with surrounding countries, supported the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" countries in desertification prevention and control, led countries to carry out policy dialogue and information sharing, jointly responded to dust disasters, and continued to make positive contributions to global desertification control.
