Aerial View of the “Three-North” Governance Results: Progress Made in Desert Land Control Across Multiple Areas
Desertification prevention and sand control in the Three-North region continue to advance, with significant results in vegetation recovery and the shrinking of sandy land See how key northern areas are stabilizing desert edges, restoring ecosystems, and boosting industry income
From an aerial perspective, the recent efforts to combat desertification and control sand in the “ThreeNorth” region in northern China have continued to advance, with changes such as vegetation recovery, shrinking sandy areas, and ecological improvement appearing in multiple key areas.
The report highlights areas including Ongniud Banner in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, the northern edge of the Kubuqi Desert, Dengkou County in Bayannur, Urad Rear Banner, and the Ulan Buh Desert in Alxa League. Local authorities are promoting sandland治理 and ecological restoration through methods such as roads crossing the sand, shelterbelts along the edges, grass grid sand fixation, and mixed planting of trees, shrubs, and grasses.
As these治理 projects continue to be implemented, wind and sand hazards in some areas have weakened, while wetlands, water bodies, and vegetation coverage have also increased. At the same time, some desertcontrol areas have also driven the development of specialty agricultural products, tourism, and other industries, improving local production and living conditions.
