Inner Mongolia to Build 2,400-kilometer Forest Belt

North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region plans to build a forest belt, which stretches out 2,400 kilometers, in the coming five years.

The project will include the protection of more than 600,000 hectares of natural forests in the Dhinggan Mountains, located in the eastern part of the region.

In its central part, Inner Mongolia will improve the ecological conditions of more than 2.5 million hectares of desert land by planting trees. The trees will form a forest shelter, which will protect Beijing, the Chinese capital, from sand storms.

A project to protect the existing forests and turn sloping and desert land into forest areas will be launched in the western part of Inner Mongolia, for the purpose of harnessing the 1.6 million hectares of land suffering from soil erosion and salinization.

Inner Mongolia will also improve 1.8 million hectares of pasture during the next five years.

At present, 36 million hectares, or one-third of the region's total land area, is sandy land.
