This article talks about china's effort of fighting desertification in their land and the benefit from it. It shows that those implantation of anti-desertification programs have been doing well; despite the fact that 178,000 people have relocated. There are plenty of significant benefits, such as the frequency of sandstorms reduced. But according to Bai, the head of the sand control and prevention bureau of the State Forestry Administration of China, large amounts of investment and new policies on developing related industries will be challenges for those programmes; I totally agree with him, there will be lots of decisions for China of balancing the socio- economic needs and the environmental needs.
This article is useful for getting some basic idea of management in arid environment and slightly relevant to the China's Great Green Wall. (Section 3)
