Since the establishment of our foundation, two new scale poles have been ordered in this location.

You see, since our foundation planted trees in the Kutzi Desert, the height of the dunes has dropped by more than three meters. The rate of decline is more than three times that of the predecessors who set the benchmark before them. ”

Su Han nodded and looked at the scale on the benchmark.

It seems that since '98, the rate of sand dune decline has gradually increased...... In particular, the fastest increase has occurred in the last two years.

Guo Cheng continued: "From the beginning of '98 to the present, the sand dunes of the Kuqi Desert have dropped by more than two meters on average. The number of sandstorms has dropped from more than 40 times a year in '98 to more than a dozen times. This has greatly alleviated the problem of windblown sand in the northern region. The number of sandstorms in our country has dropped by 50 percent compared to before. ”

Su Han also nodded with satisfaction.

He has also seen news about the decrease in the number of sandstorms in the past two years.

I have to say that these are inseparable from the foundation projects of the Three North Shelterbelts.

The key work is done, not spoken.

These are the achievements of the Foundation over the years.

The tractor moved on...... Soon I saw a lot of people moving between the dunes.

There are grass squares, and there are also green plants, and the division of labor is different.

The tractor arrived nearby.

The crowd jumped out of the car.

The tree planters also stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

Su Han looked at these dry-skinned tree planters, with a friendly smile on his face, and he also felt the hard work of afforestation in his heart.

Su Han shook hands with these people one by one and said that they had worked hard.

These people are also very excited.

After all, the opportunity to shake hands with the world's richest man was never imagined before.

Guo Cheng introduced Su Han to the process of planting grass squares and afforestation.

Shao Yutong smiled: "Su Han! The desert farming technique we use today is the water flush method you provide. After testing, the method you mentioned not only saves the most effort, but also has a survival rate of more than 90 percent. Now we all call it the Soviet-style water flushing method. ”

Guo Cheng smiled: "Mr. Su, you may not know. In the past, the most efficient way to grow was to make a glass bottle, fill it with water, then insert the plants to be planted into the bottle, and finally bury them in the sand. It takes at least a few minutes to plant once, the survival rate is only 50%, and it is troublesome to find a bottle.

But since using your Su-style water flushing method, it only takes more than ten seconds each time, and there is no need for bottles, and the survival rate has actually increased to more than 90%.

Your Soviet-style water flushing method is simply the most advanced planting technology in the world. ”

"As long as it's easy to use." Su Han smiled when he heard this. In fact, this minimally invasive water flushing method will be the mainstream desert planting method in the future, with fast planting speed and high survival rate, but it will take more than ten years to gradually become popular, and he just advanced this timeline.

Ji Ruxue said with some curiosity: "Mr. Su! Haven't you been to the desert before! So how did you discover this approach? ”

Everyone was also puzzled when they heard this.

If Su Han is also an expert in sand control and often goes in and out of the desert, it is not surprising that he arrives.

But the other party has never been to the desert, nor has he studied environmental governance, how can he have such a good idea?

Su Han said: "I also watched a video by chance. Someone was seen pouring a bottle of water in the desert. The water soon seeped into the sand, although it was no longer visible from the surface. But then they dug it up, and there was a big solid piece underneath, and when they broke it off, it was still very wet inside. So I thought, if we use the same method and use a high-pressure water gun to punch out a hole, wouldn't it be possible to maintain the rich water content in a large area, and it will not be easy to volatilize? If it is used in desert afforestation, the effect will definitely be very good. So let's give it a try! I didn't expect it to be quite easy to use. ”

Everyone was in awe when they heard this.

I didn't expect that just a small video can be associated with so much.

It is said that Newton could think of gravity when he saw an apple fall to the ground.

Su Han saw a video and thought of a good way to control desertification.

It seems that the brains of geniuses are really not comparable to ordinary people.

Su Han and his party took a turn in the desert.

Su Han also personally tied some grass squares and planted some sand willows.

Midday.

Everyone sat on the sand dunes, nibbled on a few naan, and ate some pickles.

Accompanied by a boiling heat wave and a sweltering environment.

Let Su Han feel the hard work of the sand control workers who work here all year round.

Su Han said: "That's right, Yutong! How are you doing in terms of the specific work of the desert economy? ”

Shao Yutong said: "Let Mifu talk about it!" The desert economy project has always been her work. ”

"Regarding the desert economy project, we plan to divide it into several aspects, one is to solve the employment of local people, the second is to develop desert tourism, and the third is to plant desert cash crops.

Although it is a desert area, animal husbandry has been one of the main pillars of the industry for many years. But animal husbandry is also the most devastating to desert vegetation. If we can't solve the employment problem of local farmers and herdsmen, then when the vegetation here increases, the number of cattle and sheep will definitely increase, which will have devastating consequences for the desert vegetation we have worked so hard to plant.

We want to protect the environment!

It is necessary to solve the problem of grazing and employment for farmers and herdsmen here.

In fact, we hired people who used it for tree planting.

Basically, they are all nomads in the vicinity.

As long as they are willing to give up their traditional animal husbandry and participate in the conservation of desert vegetation, we give them jobs and guarantee them an annual income.

Moreover, the work is based on the family unit, that is, the collective employment of the whole family of the local nomads, and no one is left behind.

At present, the per capita salary of our foundation employees has reached more than 3,000 yuan, and the minimum wage is more than 2,000 yuan.

The average annual income of each family is not less than 70,000 yuan.

The total number of employees involved in the Foundation's entire desert management project now exceeds 30,000.

In the Kuzi Desert alone, there are 10,000 people.

Of course, if you plant trees, you will rely on foundations to grant funds.

Then even if the foundation has money, sooner or later it will not be able to make ends meet.

Therefore, we have cooperated with some local farmers and herdsmen to develop desert tourism projects, and the foundation will provide interest-free loans and external publicity and promotion to stimulate the number of tourists.

There are already several pilots.

The project is mainly divided into two types: water project and sand project.

Nearby is the Yellow River Basin, which is rich in water resources, and yachting, paragliding, rubber boats, rafting and so on can be carried out.

The sand sports are mainly desert sports, and we have also introduced some beach sports, and the response has been very good.
