Comprehensively Prevent and Control Desertification to Win the Battle of "Three-North"

Abstract

Over the past 45 years, China has accomplished great achievements in carrying out “Three-North” project. Through largescale vegetation construction, the trends of land desertification, soil salinization, soil erosion and the deterioration of people’s living environment in the “Three-North” areas have been effectively restrained. The people in the desert area are getting rid of poverty and living a healthy life. In the new era, the “Three-North” project has encountered new demands, new challenges and new opportunities, and it is urgent to achieve a significant transform and upgrade and to improve quality and efficiency. This paper summarizes the current situation of the “Three-North” project construction, focuses on the three-north project general planning and the sixth phase planning and the realization path of the “three transformations”, interprets the strategic planning of the “three iconic battles” in the next ten years, and describes the strategic vision of “New Three-North” in the future. A series of specific policy suggestions are put forward such as strengthening institution and capacity building, demonstration zone planning and strengthening scientific and technological support.
