It is understood that in the autumn of 2012, McGeti County launched the implementation of the windproof and sand fixation ecological construction project of one million mu of windproof and sand fixation in the Taklamakan Desert. The total planned area of the project is 1 million mu, 50 km long from north to south, and 20 km wide from east to west, and is planned to be completed in three phases, of which the first phase is 300,000 mu and the medium and long term is 700,000 mu. In order to ensure the smooth arrival of personnel, materials and seedlings, forest roads have been opened in the deserted ancient desert. In order to improve the survival rate of seedlings and ensure the success of afforestation, all the sand dunes were leveled, drip irrigation was laid, and preparations were made before planting trees. In accordance with the principle of "adapting to local conditions and adapting trees to local conditions" and ecological and economic considerations, 220 million ecological and economic trees such as Yang, Wenguan Fruit, Sand Jujube, Sea Buckthorn, Poplar, Red Willow, Shuttle, Prune and Apple were scientifically planted, and a total of 410,000 mu of afforestation was completed.
In the past nine years, with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, the original vast sand sea has become a contiguous ecological forest, the overall survival rate of various types of seedlings has reached more than 95%, and the ecological environment of the county has been significantly improved. With the continuous expansion of the ecological forest, a large ecological barrier stands between the oasis in Megheti County and the Taklamakan Desert, and the momentum of wind and sand erosion into the oasis has been effectively curbed, and the cities and villages have become cleaner and more beautiful. In the process of ecological forest construction, Maigeti County also combines ecological forest management and protection with employment. By employing more than 150 households of all ethnic groups in surrounding townships, the employment of about 270 people has been solved, and an average annual wage income of more than 40,000 yuan can be obtained per household.
Through rural revitalization, promote industrial development. Through windproof and sand fixation, enhance the economy of the sand industry. Today, the happiness index of the people of McGeti County continues to rise.
