This is a refreshing communications. 3 Eco-maps with hard facts announced to the world, sand area is not the Earth's cancer, the West will not always be the source of sandstorms. Human and desert, could become friends, had each other, ecology and livelihoods can be taken into account, sand and the rich can be a win-win.

In the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 1.18 million square kilometers of land, the distribution of the half of the country's eight major and four sandy desert all. Desert Resource's "disaster" and "into a treasure" that determines the fate of here. Be able to change the negative sand prevention, block sand, as the positive control of desertification, sand; change "conquer the desert" and "wishful thinking" to "treat nature", "best of both worlds," the people of the region become a major test of wisdom. In fact, I have people in the region with their own wisdom and successful practice has withstood the test, and has embarked on a scientific concept of development of ecological construction road.

This road a complete set of theoretical guidance. Early in the 20th century, 60's, Qian academicians involved in the response to the Earth's "four major crisis," one of the ecological crisis thinking, and in 1984 proposed the "creation of agriculture-based knowledge-intensive industries - agriculture, forestry, grass industry, sea and sand industry, the industry, "the scientific ideas. The main features are: the use of sunlight, through biotechnology, extension chain, relying on science and technology, docking the market and create wealth for the benefit of the people. The core content is the maximum "retention" and "transform" solar energy, through the development of low-carbon economy, integrating into the desert of governance in the use and development of human development of new energy, new sources of income. The theory by the party and state leaders fully affirmed. January 19, 2008, President Hu Jintao visited Academician Qian said: "Not long ago, I went to study in Erdos City in Inner Mongolia, to see where the sand industry very well, engage in sand up processing plants, ecology is have been restored, people's living standard has also been significantly improved. Qianlao, your vision is becoming reality. "

This road has been successful, but also because it has been incorporated into the overall national and regional development planning, and quickly becomes the conscious practice of millions of people. National implementation of the western development strategy, the right, including Inner Mongolia, 12 provinces and autonomous regions, including the imposition of economic, environmental and many other policy tilt. Autonomous Region in the Western Development Plan clearly that "the construction in Inner Mongolia in northern China's most important eco-line of defense" of the strategic objectives and to the conservation of grasslands and desertification as the focus, classified into five major areas of governance and the eight priority project. Symptomatic throughout the region to implement the "shrink transfer" strategy to large-scale production front, the transfer for ecological restoration and management to make room. 13 million mu of grassland, the introduction of grazing, rotational grazing, and grazing. 100 million head of livestock, 70% in rural areas and feeding in captivity. From 1984 Qianlao sand industry theory proposes that currently only 25 years, Inner Mongolia has experienced a number of people thousands of years without a major change in the situation. From west to east in this huge project to restore the ecology has changed for thousands of years farmers and herdsmen modes of production and lifestyles. Across the "three north" of the autonomous region is to achieve the "three historic transition" and the "three changes", ie: from nomadic animal husbandry animal husbandry to settle in transition; by a self-sufficient natural economy to a commodity economy transition; days by relying on to support livestock to the building of livestock, science and livestock transition. Semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral and agricultural areas are being by natural grazing rotation to the feeding change; by a combination of planting and breeding, planting and breeding isolation to change; from the output of raw materials to export commodities to. The peoples of the region for a way of thinking understanding of grass industry, sand industry, the change is compatible with confrontation and change a single for the diverse, changing "blood transfusion" to "blood", this in line with the concept of scientific development road will become broader and broader ecological construction .
