Foreign Media: China is leveraging technologies tested on the far side of the Moon to launch a new campaign against desertification at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang.
Last month, the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, initiated multiple projects covering sand hazard control, desertification prevention, wind erosion management, and salinization control, aiming to establish an ecological barrier to protect local farmland.
The Taklamakan Desert is China's largest and the world's second-largest mobile desert. As an integral part of the "Green Great Wall" project, six new environmentally friendly sand-fixing materials have been deployed—transforming technologies validated through lunar exploration into tools for Earth-based ecological restoration, contributing to food security.
