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

Abstract

In order to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech on strengthening the comprehensive control of desertification and promoting key ecological engineering projects such as the “Three-North Shelterbelt Program”, this study is designated to make concrete efforts to win the battle against desertification on the edge of Hexi Corridor—Taklimakan Desert. The study deeply explores the situation of wind-blown sand flux and prevention tasks in the area. Based on the characteristics of desertified land and wind-blown sand activities on the edge of Hexi Corridor—Taklimakan Desert, the goal is set to effectively prevent the spread of sand and control dust sources. The core focus is on wind prevention, sand resistance, and dust control. The strategic thinking has been formulated for the counterattack battle on the edge of Hexi Corridor—Taklimakan Desert. By systematically analyzing the source areas and paths of “wind, sand, and dust” and targeting the key zones of the desert edge and areas requiring prevention, the key areas and tasks are proposed for desertification control on the edge of the Hexi Corridor—Taklimakan Desert, so as to provide scientific and technological support for winning the battle against desertification on the edge of Hexi Corridor—Taklimakan Desert.
