The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's Forestry and Grassland Administration told reporters that 4.46 million hectares of desertified land have been restored in the region over the past five years. This represents over 40% of all land restored in the country, helping to strengthen the ecological barrier in northern China.
Inner Mongolia is among the regions in China with the highest concentration of land severely affected by desertification and degradation. It is home to four major deserts—Badain Jaran, Tengger, Ulan Bukh, and Kubuchi—as well as four large sand massifs—Maousu, Hunshandake, Khorqin, and Hulunbuir. The challenges of ecological restoration in this region are particularly challenging.
According to reports, combating desertification is considered a key task in Inner Mongolia to strengthen the ecological barrier in northern China. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, ecological construction work was completed in the region covering a total area of 8.2 million hectares, of which 4.46 million hectares were dedicated to combating desertification.
As of 2024, Inner Mongolia's forest cover reached 21.98%, an increase of 1.19 percentage points compared to 2021. Steppe vegetation coverage has consistently remained above 45%, and the wetland area remains stable at approximately 4.67 million hectares. These indicators indicate that the region's ecological barrier function continues to strengthen.
