According to China's National Forestry and Grassland Administration, an anti-desertification effort officially began on Saturday at the edge of the Hexi Corridor-Taklimakan Desert region covering north and northwest China.
The Hexi Corridor-Taklimakan Desert counterattack will focus on the source areas and paths of "wind, sand and dust," with a total of 14 key projects to be implemented in important areas, such as places plagued by an influx of drift sand, as part of the efforts to fight desertification.
The target area includes 60 regiments and regimental farms in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, as well as 82 counties spread across four provinces and regions, including Gansu Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
It follows two other major desertification prevention and control campaigns, which targeted areas near the Yellow River's meandering bends in northern and northwestern China, as well as two sandy regions of Horqin and Hunshandake in northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, as well as Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China.
