Beijing MAC supports wind-break and sand-break project
The Beijing Military Area Command (MAC) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) held a mobilization meeting in Hohhot, capital of northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on February 21, 2013 on support for the ecological project of the development of the western provinces of China.
The project is scheduled to be completed within 5 to 10 years, after which five wind-shelter belts will be formed in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shanxi province andHebei province to prevent the areas of Beijing and Tianjin from the ravages ofsandstorms. The project consists of three parts:
First, construct four large forest pastures in the Beijing MAC's directly-administratedareas to basically solve the management problem of the 670,000 mu (44,666 hectares)of sandy wasteland and lock down the channel through which the sandstorm hitsBeijing.
Second, build five wind-break and sand-break forest belts respectively from Fengningto Duolun, along Batou in the north of Zhangjiakou, from Datong to Fengzhen, andalong the trunk highways from Zhangjiakou to Hohhot and from Hohhot to Erenhot.
Last, build 60 wind-sheltering and sand-fixation ecological green zones with a total areaof 3 million mu (200,000 hectares) in desertification-prone areas of Inner Mongolia, andestablish 100 voluntary tree-planting bases with a total area of 50,000 mu (3,333hectares) in places where troop units are stationed.
It is learned that the Beijing MAC will organize tens of thousands of officers and men aswell as millions of militiamen and reservists each year to launch a two-month-longconstruction campaign. This project has currently been in full swing in northern China.
