The Taklimakan(塔克拉玛干)Desert is the
largest desert in China.It is about 337,600
square kilometres in
the
Tarim
Basin
in
Xinjiang.The dry environment makes it difficult
to live there.Sandstorms often happen,and the
moving sand has bad effects on the lives of local
people and the natural environment in this area.

However,the Chinese government and people have
been making much effort to control the desert.
Here are some of scientific and practical ways
they have used,
One of the ways is to build a tree belt around the
desert.By the end of 2023,a 2,761-kilometre-long
green belt had already been built around it.In 2024,
the last part of the belt,285 kilometres,was

finished.It's about 3,046 kilometres in total.The
belt lies as a strong wall against the spread of the
desert.
Biological ways are also widely used.For
example,people grow special plants that can grow
well with little water.These plants hold the sand
and reduce sandstorms.At the same time,they
can also bring local people certain economic

And the
method of using
solar
power
generation()has been used,too.By building
greenhouses,people can
grow vegetables and
fruit.In this way,they can make full use of the
land and light in the desert area.
Great changes have already taken place.The
natural environment
around the desert
t has

improved greatly.The local economy has also
developed rapidly.The success in the control of
this desert shows:as long as we have a strong will
and use scientific methods,we can protect the
environment and build a better future for both
people and nature.
