"operation Desert: Sand Control And Industrialization Of A New Attempt

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region sandy land area is 420,800 square kilometers which occupies 35.37% area of the total area in the Inner Mongolia. Compared with the survey on the sandy land in 1994, on average the sandy land area expanded 3145 square kilometers every year and it has expanded 15,726 square kilometers during the last five years, occupying 91% area of the nation sandy land area that has increased there years. There are seven regions whose expansion rate of wilderness is above 4% in our country, and three of them are in the inner Mongolia. In our country, the direct and indirect economic loss caused by the wilderness are about 54 billion yuan and 170 billion yuan every year(The loss is about 0.15 billion yuan every day).And the loss of Inner Mongolia respectively occupies 1/3.The wilderness has restricted economic improvement, intensified the impoverished degree and the unbalanced region development. Therefore, fully using the desert resource superiority, effectively preventing and controlling the wilderness, diligently improving the ecological environment and speeding up the social economy development has become a long-term and difficult job for us to construct in the socialism modernization.At present, the technical system about continuing to use the sandy land in the Inner Mongolia has been established initially. An entire characteristic set of technology on how to fix the wind—drift sand has been formed. Many successful region development and government patterns which unified the concrete condition of each place have been founded. But according to the natural resource environment and the solial economy characteristics in the desert areas in our country, the resource conservation and the environmental protection economic system which can not only prevent the desert land, but also promote production development has been established and made perfect. As for mild and moderate desert land, we should adjust the present land utilization way and the intensity, and the diversified management policy which mainly depends on the resource reasonable development and usage we also should depend on the advance in technology and consult resource condition, the market demand and the investment ability to solve desert problem. we must work on it immediately.The government should formulate a long-term and stable development policy based on these, and promote the desert development and ecological environment improvement by offering the help in fund, policy support and other measure above.
