Our desertification control report card is here
Accumulative desertification control of 8. 8 million hectares and overall improvement in the ecological condition of four major sands
On 17 june in beijing, xinhua network's electricity (chen yent) received information from the national forestry and grassland authority that our desertification control efforts have been effective since “1355”, with a cumulative total of 8. 8 million hectares (ha) of sand control tasks, or 88 per cent of the governance tasks planned for the 13th five. After many years of governance, the ecological conditions of the four major sands of mausu, mishidak, koljan and huronbel have improved overall, with an increase of 2. 267 million hectares of vegetation and a reduction of 169,000 hectares of sanded land。

Since the thirteenth session of the general assembly, the country has implemented a series of programmes such as the national plan for the prevention of sand and sand, the second project plan for the management of wind and sand in kyoto, the national plan for the development of desert parks, the deepening of sand and sand control reforms, the introduction of a rigorous desert ecological protection system, the full implementation of the provincial government's system of compensation and sanctions for the responsibility of sand and sand control targets and the maintenance of the stability, integrity and integrity of desert ecosystems. Accelerate the implementation of national priority projects such as the management of wind and sand in kyoto, the construction of “three north” protected forests, the restoration of tillage, the return of grass, and the integrated management of petrified desertification, with a view to bringing about an overall improvement in the ecological situation in the desert。
For 40 years, the “ten north” protected forest project has accumulated 3,014,000 hectares of forested reserves, increasing the forest cover of the project area from 5. 05 per cent in 1977 to 13. 57 per cent. Over the past 20 years, the construction of 8. 84 million hectares of forest and 44,000 hectares of sand have been built. To date, our country has approved the establishment of 53 national integrated sand control demonstration zones, the closure of 1. 74 million hectares of sanded land and the construction of 120 national desert (silent) parks. According to the results of the fifth national desertification and desertification monitoring exercise, the country's land area for desertification and desertification has been reduced by 2424 km2 and 1980 km2, the number of sand and dust weather has been reduced by 20. 3 per cent and the average vegetation cover has increased by 0. 7 percentage points。

We insist on a combination of desertification management and poverty alleviation efforts, moving out of the path of combating desertification, which is a chinese character that is win-win in combating desertification. The employment of 125,000 ecological forest rangers in 217 poor counties in the zolinized areas has led to an increase of nearly 500,000. At the same time, desertification control projects have been directed towards poor districts, such as the projects on the management of sand and sand sources in kyoto, the integrated management of petro-desertification and the construction of the national sanctuary sanctuary, which have allocated 2,744 million yuan, 4 billion yuan and 820 million yuan to poor districts. The development of specialty sand-zone industries focusing on wood, fodder, chinese medicine, economic fruit and desert tourism, the northern sand-zone economy produces 48 million tons of dry fresh fruit per year, with a total annual output of $12 billion, or a third of the country's total production, and income from forest fruit in the priority areas already accounts for more than 50 per cent of farmers ' net income. My country's efforts to combat desertification have received widespread attention and full recognition from the countries of the world and the international community, and have earned the praise of “world desertification control for china”。
The head of the desertification control department of the national forestry and grassland administration, sun kuoji, described the scale and impact of desertification and desertification in the country, the land area of 2,611,600 square kilometres, the land area of 1,721,200 square kilometres and the land area of 300,000 square kilometres with a clear trend towards desertification, which has reached the stage of “hard bone chewing”, making governance more difficult, more costly and more onerous。

It was indicated that the next step would be to consolidate the results of desertification control by working on sand stabilization, planted grass, silviculture and silviculture and soakling grass in ecologically important border areas, major dust and sand areas and river basins. It is important for the desert perimeter, where human activity is more frequent, as well as for eco-regions, with heavy wind and sand hazards, low forest grass cover and priority areas, and enhanced protection of sanded lands, and the protection of desert vegetation. At the same time, the rule of law system and top-level design will be improved, a system of laws and regulations for combating desertification and desertification will be established, and scientific preparation will be made of the “xiv5” plan and the national plan for combating desertification. Work continued on the construction of the integrated management of wind and sand in kyoto and desertification, the enhancement of engineering management and the quality of construction. Full completion of the sixth desertification and desertification land monitoring exercise, further refinement of the sand and dust storm disaster contingency plan, strengthening of the emergency response system and improved emergency response capacity. To strengthen international cooperation and exchange in order to fulfil the obligations of the united nations convention to combat desertification, to further strengthen cooperation and exchange between central and central africa in combating desertification, to export our country's experience and skills and to contribute to the country's diplomatic efforts。
It is known that today is the 26th world day to combat desertification and drought. This year, our country set the theme “participating in the fight against sandy deserts and protecting the green and green mountains”, advocating for the implementation of the green and green mountains as a concept for society as a whole, actively participating in desertification control, creating a strong atmosphere for the sharing of beautiful homes of the sky blue, green and watery, and building the ecological security barriers of our country and promoting the formation of a community of human destiny。
