By the end of 2025, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province had stabilized all of its treatable shifting sand areas, according to an evaluation report released by the Northwest Surveying, Planning and Design Institute of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

At a photovoltaic power station on the edge of the Maowusu Sandy Land, rows of solar panels are helping form a "PV Great Wall" against desertification. Drought-tolerant, sand-stabilizing plants such as alfalfa and erect milkvetch are grown under and between the panels, pushing vegetation cover above 90%.

The model combines power generation, crop cultivation, and livestock rearing, offering a new approach to both land restoration and clean energy development.
