In recent years, China’s Xinjiang region has been steadily advancing ecological restoration projects along the edges of the Taklamakan Desert. Through integrated measures such as afforestation, straw checkerboard sand-fixation techniques, and water-saving irrigation, green barriers have been established around the world’s second-largest shifting desert—poetically described as ‘putting a green scarf around the desert’s neck.’ Covering approximately 330,000 square kilometers, the Taklamakan Desert experiences frequent sandstorms that pose serious threats to nearby oases and communities. To combat desertification, Xinjiang launched anti-desertification initiatives as early as the 1980s, constructing thousands of kilometers of shelterbelt forests encircling the Tarim Basin. In recent years, technological innovations—including drip irrigation, drought-resistant plant cultivation, and satellite remote sensing—have significantly enhanced the efficiency of these efforts. In some areas, a historic shift has occurred: from ‘sand advancing, people retreating’ to ‘greenery advancing, sand retreating.’ This ecological initiative not only improves local environmental conditions but also offers a Chinese solution to global desertification challenges.
近年来，中国新疆在塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘持续推进生态治理工程，通过植树造林、草方格固沙、节水灌溉等综合措施，在这片世界第二大流动沙漠的边缘构筑起一道道绿色屏障，被形象地称为给沙漠‘戴上绿围脖’。塔克拉玛干沙漠面积约33万平方公里，风沙活动频繁，严重威胁周边绿洲农业和居民生活。为遏制沙漠扩张，新疆自20世纪80年代起便启动防沙治沙项目，尤其在环塔里木盆地周边建设了长达数千公里的防护林体系。近年来，随着科技手段的引入，如滴灌技术、耐旱植物选育以及卫星遥感监测，治沙效率显著提升。如今，部分区域已实现从‘沙进人退’到‘绿进沙退’的历史性转变。这一生态工程不仅改善了当地生态环境，也为全球荒漠化治理提供了中国方案。
