The grass and trees are sprawling, and the spring mountains can be seen. In the middle of spring, a major battle to prevent and control desertification has been launched in Inner Mongolia.
A batch of manpower and machinery are stationed in the desert sandy land, and a piece of sand barriers spreads and spreads to lock the "salon", and a sand willow sylvestris pine takes root in the desert, and photovoltaic ground piles are buried in the sand nest...... This is the first spring after General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Inner Mongolia in 2023, and Inner Mongolia has responded affectionately with practical actions.
In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Inner Mongolia in person, presided over a symposium on strengthening the comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three Norths", and issued a mobilization order to resolutely fight the tough battle of the "Three Norths" project and strive to create a new miracle of China's desertification prevention and control in the new era.
In October 2023, the "Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the High-quality Development of Inner Mongolia and Striving to Write a New Chapter of Chinese-style Modernization" put forward specific support opinions for scientifically promoting the comprehensive management of desertification.

Affectionate entrustment and mountain care have turned into the driving force for moving forward. In 2023, the area of sand prevention and control in Inner Mongolia will be 9.5 million mu, completing 151% of the annual task.
A few days ago, Inner Mongolia issued an order of the chief forester, on the "three north" project and the three landmark battles, to promote the prevention and control of desertification and wind power and photovoltaic integration project from seven aspects of deployment.
Inner Mongolia is building an unbreakable green Great Wall and ecological security barrier in northern Xinjiang with the momentum of rolling stones up the mountain.

Full-scale war, when the main force fights the main attack
To do a good job in the three landmark battles of the "Three Norths" project, Inner Mongolia is in action.
Inner Mongolia is the main battlefield of desertification control and the main line of defense against sandstorms, and there are "two and a half" of the three landmark battles in Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia has set up a leading group for promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three Norths" with the secretary of the party committee of the autonomous region as the team leader, the chairman, vice chairman and chairman in charge of the autonomous region as the deputy leader, and the forestry and grassland, agriculture and animal husbandry, water conservancy and other departments as members, and has held more than 10 leading group meetings and key work promotion meetings.
Recently, Sun Shaocheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region, Wang Lixia, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region and Chairman of the Autonomous Region, and other leaders of the Autonomous Region have successively gone to the site of the 12 League Cities to prevent and control desertification and wind power and photovoltaic integration, and to command and participate in the battle. The whole region moved when they heard the order, grasped the implementation to the letter, vigorously and resolutely grasped the implementation, sought truth and pragmatic implementation, dared to do good to grasp the implementation, and promoted the comprehensive rollout and depth of various work.
In the Alxa Desert, workers are making grass squares.
On March 12, more than 1,000 cadres and workers of the Alxa League were stationed in the desert to plant trees on a voluntary basis, and the Western Inner Mongolia Desert Comprehensive Management Project (Phase II) officially started, starting the Hexi Corridor-Taklamakan Desert edge war.
On March 14, the Yellow River "Several Bends" in Wuhai City started the sand prevention and control project, sounding the "charge" of the desertification control battle.
On March 18, the sand prevention and control and wind power photovoltaic integration project in Ulanqab City was launched at the same time in Siziwangqi and Huade County.
……
Stepping on the drumbeat of forging ahead, Inner Mongolia took out the responsibility of fighting the main force and the momentum of fighting the vanguard, and worked intensively and quickly to dry quickly, and the three major theaters of war were launched in an all-out war in the three major theaters of war, including the "zigzag bend" attack on the Yellow River, the two major sandy annihilation battles of Horqin and Hunshandak, and the Hexi Corridor-Taklamakan Desert edge blocking war.
The green practice of sand prevention and control in Wuhai City.
Throughout the region, desertification prevention and control highlights "early", "fast" and "practical".
As early as possible, all localities and departments made early deployments and early actions, prepared land in advance, prepared seedlings and other materials, and entered a combat state in advance.
On March 8, the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region signed a letter of responsibility with the Forestry and Grassland Bureaus of 9 league cities and 36 grass seed breeding enterprises to effectively do a good job in the seedling guarantee of the "Three Norths" project.
At the top of the "bend" of the Yellow River, Bayannur City rushed to grasp the progress. On February 20, Hangjin Houqi began to carry out land preparation and sand replacement along the main road of Menghai Town, and at present, 4,000 acres of sand fixation have been completed in the Yellow River "Several Bends" ecological comprehensive treatment project area of the whole banner. In Dengkou County, the 850,000 kilowatt photovoltaic + ecological governance project area has completed the project of 12,000 mu of sand fixation.
The Nugustai Demonstration Area of the "Double Ten Million Mu" Comprehensive Treatment Project of Horqin Sandy Land in Tongliao City.
All localities have adopted new technologies and new equipment to speed up the progress of desertification prevention and control.
Located in the northernmost part of the Horqin Sandy Land, Keyouzhong Banner uses the newly developed sand fixing machine of Mengcao Group to lay sand barriers, and the working area of one machine exceeds 200 acres a day, which greatly improves the laying efficiency.
At the sand control point in Daotu Gacha, Dugui Tara Town, Hangjin Banner, workers use the auger method to plant a tree in more than 10 seconds, and the local afforestation area is expanding at an exponential rate.
Make every effort to fight the battle of annihilation in the Hulunbuir sand.
In practice, all localities have sought practical things, made practical moves, worked hard and worked hard, and made solid progress in the work of desertification prevention and control.
In the desertification prevention and control project, Hulunbuir City has integrated economic forest fruits, forage and herbs into industries such as forest fruits, forage and herbs according to local conditions, and strives to achieve both desertification control and income increase.
Tongliao City has implemented the "50 million" project to promote the integrated development of ecology, production and life in the sandy area.
Baotou City divides the desertified land in the city into a desertification prevention and control area, a sand prevention and control achievement consolidation area, a sand prevention and control quality and efficiency improvement area, and an ecological protection and restoration area along the Yellow River, and carries out zoning management.
The Xing'an League promotes the comprehensive management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, and through the implementation of projects such as sand prevention and control, soil and water conservation, etc., the problems of "mountain fragmentation, water reduction, forest sparseness, barren fields, lake shrinkage, grass retreat, and sand advancement" that restrict the improvement of the ecological function of the Horqin grassland have been reduced to zero and broken down.
Inner Mongolia is unequivocal in its efforts to build an unbreakable green Great Wall and ecological security barrier in northern Xinjiang.
The two sides of the sand-piercing highway are full of greenery.
All members participated in the battle, and the conference battle was armaged
I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning, led more than 30 farmers and herdsmen in the surrounding area to load saplings, and transported the saplings to the far-sand and sandy areas of the Mu Us Sandy Land, and started a day's afforestation work, and did not return home until it was dark. Every year in this season, Yin Yuzhen, the "Queen of Sand Control" of Wushen Banner, has the same work and rest time.
58 years old, 39 years of experience in desertification control, desertification control has become Yin Yuzhen's instinct and habit.
In the same Wushenqi, in the past few days, a sand control team composed of women of different ages has been active at the scene of the annihilation battle in the Mu Us Sandy Land. This team was led by the desertification hero Bao Ri Ledai and has a history of 60 years.
Mobilize the whole people and plant trees.
Since the launch of the "Three Norths" project, Inner Mongolia has ranked first among the 13 provinces and autonomous regions involved in the "Three Norths" project. In this unusual history of desertification prevention and control, countless desertification control heroes have emerged in Inner Mongolia. They have interpreted the "Three North Spirit" of hard work, selfless dedication, perseverance and long-term contribution with practical actions, and have created one ecological miracle after another of deserts turning into oases.
Today, under the guidance of the "Three Norths Spirit", ordinary people are devoting themselves to the cause of desertification prevention and control.
In Dalat Banner, Ordos City, six desertification control teams composed of Sumu Town streets, banner departments, enterprise social groups, militia, young students, farmers and herdsmen are charging at the front line of desertification prevention and control.
Xilin Gol League is in the Blue Banner Hunsandak Sandy Land Management (Beijing-Tianjin Sand Source Project) continues to advance.
The first batch of professional herdsmen incarnated into advanced and practical technology promoters and shrub rangers in the Abaga Banner of the Xilin Gol League, and participated in the war of annihilation in the Hunshandak Sandy Land.
In Hohhot, social groups, community families, young volunteers, individual industrial and commercial households, and migrant workers have carried out a series of themed tree-planting activities to help win the battle of the "Three Norths" project.
……
Full participation, all the people tackle tough problems, there is spiritual guidance, but also the promotion of policy mechanisms.
Since 2023, Ordos, Chifeng, Bayannur and other places have implemented and improved the "build first, subsidize later" and "cash-for-work" mechanisms, and encourage farmers and herdsmen to directly participate in ecological management projects on their own contracted degraded grasslands, which can not only receive subsidies, but also obtain immeasurable medium and long-term income from grassland productivity restoration. The enthusiasm of farmers and herdsmen to participate in desertification prevention and control has been further enhanced, and the change from "I want to do it" to "I want to do it" has been realized, injecting strong strength into the "Three Norths" project.

Desertification prevention and control is a process of rolling stones up the mountain for a long time. Mobilization of the whole people, diversified investment, the formation of a joint force, the decisive battle of the conference, all localities and departments to take practical measures and produce practical results.
Introduce social capital and broaden financing channels. On March 9, the "100 Million Trees" public welfare project was launched in Hunshandak Large-scale Forest Farm. The project plans to plant 100 million psammophytes in Alxa, Chifeng, Ordos, Xilin Gol and other places in 10 years. This is another successful case of large-scale forest farms in broadening financing channels for ecological construction since signing cooperation agreements with the China Rural Development Foundation and the Shanghai Charity Foundation last year.
Break down administrative boundaries and promote joint prevention and management. The Forestry and Grassland Bureau of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region signed a framework agreement on joint prevention and management cooperation with the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Gansu Province, and a framework cooperation agreement on joint prevention and management of the Mu Us Sandy Land with four provinces and four localities in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, forming a new pattern of coordinated governance.
The morning light of Mu Us is picturesque.
Explore the whole field and be a pioneer as a pacesetter
Chase the wind and the sun, and march towards the green.
On March 13, in the hinterland of the Kubuqi Desert in Dalat Banner, flying drones took off into the sky, and workers planted sand barriers in an orderly manner...... The "Great Wall of Photovoltaic Photography" project of sand prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic integration in Ordos City was officially launched.
Ordos will plan to build the 400-kilometer "Photovoltaic Great Wall" in the Kubuqi Desert and the "One Corridor and Multi-Point" project for wind power and photovoltaic in the Mu Us Sandy Land, so as to realize the comprehensive management of 12 million mu of desertified land in Kubuqi and 3 million mu of bare sand land in Mu Usu, accommodating a total installed capacity of 150 million kilowatts, and promoting the integrated development of ecological governance and energy development.
In the Kubuqi Desert, Mu Us Sandy Land, Horqin Sandy Land, etc., batches of desertification prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic integration projects have started construction one after another.
A desert "horse" covering an area of more than 1.3 million square meters lies in the Kubuqi Desert of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the Dalat photovoltaic power generation application leading base "Junma Power Station" composed of nearly 200,000 photovoltaic panels is located.
Inner Mongolia has four deserts and four sandy lands, rich in wind and solar energy resources, turning the vast sand sea into a photovoltaic blue ocean, and realizing the three-dimensional sand control mode of forest and light complementation, grass and light complementation, and animal husbandry and light complementation, such as "green electricity on the board, planting between the plates, and restoration under the plates", which is an innovative practice of sand prevention and control in Inner Mongolia in recent years. By the end of 2023, the total installed capacity of photovoltaic sand control in the region will exceed 8 million kilowatts, and the sand control area will be nearly 300,000 mu.
As one of the "six projects" in Inner Mongolia, the integrated project of desertification prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic has promoted the overall speed and efficiency of desertification prevention and control. In 2024, 13.2 million kilowatts of new energy capacity will be added, and 2.3 million mu of desertified land will be comprehensively treated.
After decades of governance, Bai Erye Shaba has turned into an oasis in the sand sea.
Exploration never stops, innovation is always on the way.
In the practice of desertification prevention and control, Ordos City has explored the Kubuqi model of "policy-led by the party committee and government, industrialized investment by enterprises, market-oriented participation of farmers and herdsmen, and sustainable innovation of science and technology", and has embarked on a sustainable development path driven by the balance of desertification control, ecology, economy and people's livelihood.
Generations of people of all ethnic groups in Dengkou County are not afraid of hardships and are determined to advance to Ulan Bu and the desert, fight the sandstorms, protect their homes, and seek development, forming a model of "a spiritual inheritance, the guidance of the concept of two mountains, the win-win development of three lives, the participation of the main body of the four parties, and the system of governance in the five domains".
Green dyes the land of the Wushen flag.
Wushenqi summarized and refined the "three-way nesting" sand control mode, that is, the "vertical sand barrier + tree-shrub mixed forest" management method was mainly adopted for mobile sand dunes, the "tiled sand barrier + shrub-grass mixed forest" management method was mainly adopted for fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes, and the "shrub-grass reseeding + fence enclosure" method was mainly adopted for tidal flat lowland. Through the interaction from high to low, the three stages of sand stopping, sand fixation, and sand moistening are completed respectively, and finally the sandy land becomes a desert oasis suitable for vegetation growth.
In the game with sand, Inner Mongolia has explored many effective models and paths, providing "Chinese solutions" and "Chinese wisdom" for the national and global desertification prevention and control.
Keeping in mind the "great power of the country" and shouldering the mission, Inner Mongolia maintains the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, defy hardships and make long-term contributions, and strives to create a new miracle of China's desertification prevention and control in the new era.
Seabuckthorn planting plots promote the construction of characteristic forest fruits.
With extraordinary efforts
Fight and win the extraordinary battle
Commentator of Inner Mongolia Daily
The spring breeze blows the green of thousands of mountains, and the drums urge the march to start a new journey. Listen carefully to the introduction of the work, have an in-depth understanding of the plan, pick up the tools and work together, and plant the sand willow caragana one after another...... In the past few days, the leaders of the autonomous region have gone deep into the site of the desertification prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic integration project, commanded from the front, and participated in the battle and supervision. In the vast northern part of Xinjiang, a major campaign to prevent and control desertification has been launched in an all-round way.
Inner Mongolia is the main battlefield of desertification control and the main line of defense against sandstorms, and the three landmark battles of the "Three Norths" project are "two and a half" in Inner Mongolia, and more than 60% of the workload is in Inner Mongolia. In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Inner Mongolia in person and issued a mobilization order to resolutely fight the tough battle of the "Three Norths" project and strive to create a new miracle of China's desertification prevention and control in the new era. In 2023, a total of 5.56 million mu of afforestation, 18.17 million mu of grass planting, and 9.5 million mu of sand prevention and control will be completed in the whole region, and the area of sand prevention and control will increase by more than 1 million mu compared with 2022. To take advantage of the momentum and achieve new successes, it is urgent for the whole region to show the courage of the general battle, the responsibility of the main force, and the momentum of the vanguard, break one day into two days, race against time to catch up, do as much as they can, and do as fast as they can, so as to comprehensively roll out and push this work to the depth.
The "Three Norths" project is a major national strategy personally planned and deployed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and the integrated project of sand prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic is an important measure for the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region to fight the tough battle of the "Three Norths" project, and it is necessary to win this extraordinary battle with extraordinary efforts. Desertification prevention and control is a systematic project, and it is necessary to "use the idea of reform" to look beyond the control of desertification, and to take the implementation of integrated projects as the starting point to promote the overall speed and efficiency of desertification prevention and control work. It is necessary to speed up the establishment of project consortiums, actively explore the "new energy +" production and consumption integration model, and achieve greening, energy and income increase. We should insist on paying equal attention to open sources and reducing expenditures, actively strive for and raise funds, and take multiple measures to attract and expand social investment. Innovate systems and mechanisms, pay attention to the use of the power of science and technology to prevent and control desertification, explore scientific desertification prevention and control models according to local conditions, and make long-term efforts to make "the scenery better".
Only by really grasping can there be "real" results. There is no shortcut to win this tough battle, only hard work. All localities and departments must race against time, do solid work, constantly enhance the awareness of "speaking with the results and evaluating with actual results," and keep their eyes wide open on the target and supervise the battle. Leading cadres at all levels, especially the "number one leaders," must resolutely shoulder their responsibilities, take the initiative to take up their actions, seize all favorable opportunities, make good use of all favorable conditions, get a good grasp of their work as soon as they see it, bring up the enthusiasm of all quarters, and vow not to give up until the goal is reached, and never withdraw until the goal is achieved. It is necessary to actively select advanced models, tell the touching deeds of desertification prevention and control, guide the masses to take the initiative to participate in desertification prevention and control, and gather the majestic strength of the whole region to bravely undertake the mission, not afraid of hardships and long-term achievements, and repay General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Party Central Committee for Inner Mongolia's care and ardent expectations with real governance results.
The drums of war have been beaten, and it is time to fight. In 2024, the No. 2 Chief Forestry Decree was issued, and the integrated project of desertification prevention and control and wind power and photovoltaic was implemented in depth...... Hearing the order, moving and obeying the order, binding the yellow sand, looking at the green, looking at the land of northern Xinjiang, the "Three Norths" project and the three landmark battles are in full swing. We will be able to continuously expand the green map of desertification prevention and control, build an unbreakable green Great Wall and ecological security barrier in northern Xinjiang, and make more contributions to the construction of a beautiful China in Inner Mongolia.
