[Geological Evaluation Line] Continuously Writing the "China Answer Sheet" Mission for Desertification Prevention and Control | Era | China
June 17th is World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought.
Promoting sand prevention and control requires long-term efforts. China has created the miracle of "Five Shuangs" for decades of sand prevention and control. "Double reduction" of desertification and desertification area, "double reduction" of desertification and desertification degree, "double improvement" of vegetation status and carbon sequestration capacity in sandy areas, "double decrease" of regional wind erosion status and sandstorm weather, and "double reversal" of desertification and desertification land in all surveyed provinces. China's legal, engineering, and technological desertification control, from material struggle to spiritual confrontation, has become a global model of China's Rubik's Cube "Grass Grid Sandification Technology". In the new era and on a new journey, the task of combating desertification is arduous and the road ahead is long. We need to maintain patience, not only to have the composure of "letting the wind and waves rise, sitting steadily on the fishing platform", but also to have the resilience of "enduring countless trials and tribulations, enduring the winds of the east, west, north, and south", and even more importantly, to have the stability of "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Make every effort to fight the battle of the Yellow River's "several bends", make every effort to fight the annihilation battle of the two major sandy areas of Horqin and Hunshandak, and make every effort to fight the blockade battle on the edge of the Hexi Corridor Taklamakan Desert.
Despite the hardships of thousands of washes and thousands of seeps, only after blowing out the raging sand can one reach gold. Preventing and controlling desertification is not only for survival, but also for development. Developing the desert economy with a new development concept, "turning sand into gold" and "turning sand into treasure". The desert is a treasure trove, rich in solar energy, biomass energy, and wind energy, which can develop new energy industries and green low-carbon circular economy; In the desert, there are "Silk Road treasures" such as Yutian Desert Rose, "Golden Fruit" Seabuckthorn, and "Desert Ginseng" Cistanche, which have broad industrial development prospects. The modern agricultural development model of "enterprise+base+farmer" can drive the chain and cluster development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, processing, storage, packaging, transportation and other related industries. The desert is still a popular tourism resource, integrating with related industries such as culture, sports, health care, and medical care, adopting a "tourism+" development model, and vigorously developing consumer industries. Various regions need to fully mobilize the forces of society, enterprises, and the masses to participate in the development of the "sand industry", jointly awaken desert resources, do a good job in "uniqueness", make the desert economy full of surging momentum, benefit people of all ethnic groups, and truly turn desert wastelands into "golden mountains and silver mountains".
In order to reverse the hazards of wind and sand in North China, Northwest China, and Northeast China, generations of "Three North" project construction "warriors" have responded to the call of the times, bravely shouldered the historical burden, stepped forward and charged forward, forging a solid green Great Wall in the endless desert. With the spirit of "daring to teach the sun and moon to exchange for new sky", they have composed a series of green songs that change ecology and earth shaking. Advanced models such as Gansu Gulang Babusha, Inner Mongolia Kubuqi, Hebei Saihanba, and Wang Youde, Shi Guangyin, and Niu Yuqin have emerged, as well as advanced models such as Wang Youde, Shi Guangyin, and Niu Yuqin. The "Three North Spirit" of the heroes of sand control and the people of the Three North, who persevere and make long-term contributions. Generation after generation of desertification control technology workers have written papers in the "Three North" deserts, forming a "1+N" desertification monitoring system mainly based on macro monitoring, supplemented by thematic monitoring, positioning monitoring, annual trend monitoring, etc. A large number of sand control scientists, such as Yi Zhijian, Liu Yongding, Zhu Zhenda, and others, have taken the lead in fighting on the front line of sand control, inventing a series of sand control "magic weapons" such as "desert soil desertification control technology", "sand water retention adhesive", "desert algae artificial crust comprehensive control sand fixation technology", "photovoltaic sand control technology", and so on.
Preventing wind and fixing sand, protecting the environment, contributing to the present and benefiting the future. Preventing and controlling sand is a long-term historical task. Let us muster the spirit of "never breaking the Loulan and never returning it", work one after another, show the original intention of bravely undertaking the mission, the determination not to fear difficulties, and the patience to work for a long time, climb hills and obstacles, and roll rocks up the mountain, becoming the "flag bearer", "practitioner", and "inheritor" of the spirit of the new era of desertification control, and continuously writing the "Chinese answer sheet" for desertification prevention and control.
