Beijing, September 19 (Xinhua) — The fight against desertification on the fringes of the Taklamakan Desert in northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) is making rapid progress. The desert is now completely encircled by a 3,046-kilometer-long green belt, the longest in the world, according to a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Friday.
The document, titled "The CPC's Strategy for Governing Xinjiang in the New Era: Practices and Achievements," states that Xinjiang firmly implements the concept of "green mountains and emerald waters are priceless treasures" and, through unified planning, systematically manages mountainous areas, river and lake environments, forests, arable lands, and grasslands, and continuously strengthens its capacity to ensure ecological security.
Well-planned, large-scale greening programs have been implemented in the region. As a result, forest cover has increased from 4.24 percent in 2012 to 5.07 percent in 2024, according to the White Paper.
Over the past three decades, the area of oases has increased by 56.6 percent. Xinjiang's accelerated ecological transformation is also reflected in the region's active efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and peak carbon emissions targets, while carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP continue to decline. -0-
