50,000 trees died in Wuhai Desert, Inner Mongolia. What caused this phenomenon?

Speaking of Wuhai Desert in Inner Mongolia, because of its special geographical location (just at the exit of Helan Mountain remnant vein and Yinshan Mountain remnant vein in Bayannaoer City), it has become a main channel for the expansion of Wulanbuhe Desert. Serious desertification, desertification and very harsh natural environment lead to ecological fragility.

Under the call of the state's strong support for development and construction, herders near Bayin Aobaogacha in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia moved from 1977 to plant trees locally. Several generations of Wuhai immigrants have carried forward the dauntless spirit of hard struggle and tenacious struggle. In order to prevent wind and fix sand, more than 50,000 trees were planted and Bayin Aobao shelter forest was built, with a total area of more than 320 mu, which made the original Wuhai area undergo earth-shaking changes. The once desert beyond the Great Wall has become a charming sand city connected by rivers and lakes.

But now, this shelterbelt that has been built for generations, dry trunks and stumps can be seen everywhere. The canals and wells used for irrigation were broken, and the woodland became wasteland or cultivated land. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:

1 and 1985, after the local forest land is contracted to individuals, it is difficult for villagers to change their certificates.

2. After the demarcation between Alashan League and Wuhai City, irrigation facilities were left unattended for a long time, resulting in waterless irrigation of more than 300 mu of forest land.

3. Although the villagers have sought solutions and ways from the higher authorities countless times, they are always shirked by many reasons and excuses.

After seeking hopelessness, the villagers can only watch more than 50,000 plants die slowly in the drought.

5. Without shelter forest, the survival rate and yield of crops are not good. People slowly left Wuhai again.

The aerial photo of Bayin Aobao Gacha 20 18 shows that half of the plot has been desertified, and some of it has been reclaimed as cultivated land, and a small number of trees are distributed on both sides of the main road and between plots. ?

This is really a chilling article. Generation after generation, silently dedicated to the control of serious desertification. The official historical issues try to cover up the past in an understatement. It really makes people cry for this shelter forest.
