Improving ecological environment still a difficult task in west China

Chinanews, Beijing, July 5 �C Over the past five years, China has
allocated a total of 200 billion yuan to improve the ecological
environment in the west. As a result, 600 million mu of trees have been
planted in the region. However, an official from the State Development
and Reform Commission pointed out that China still shouldered heavy
responsibilities for improving the ecological environment in the west.
Vice minister of the State Development and Reform Commission Wang
Jinxiang said that from 2000 to 2005, China had taken water and soil
conservation measures to prevent 540,000 square kilometers of land from
soil erosion. A total of 290 million mu of land has been transformed from
animal breeding grounds into pastures. In addition, China has improved
its construction work in the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve.
Through these measures, basic farmland and pasture are protected against
wind and sand erosion. Both food output and farmers�� income have thus
increased. Many local herdsmen have gradually changed their lifestyle,
from a nomadic to a farmer��s life. Previously they destroyed forests to
raise their cattle, and now they plant trees and grass to ameliorate the
eco-enviroment.
Wang said that in recent years, more sandstorms had occurred in China
than before. In 2006, Beijing and Tianjin have experienced more sandstorm
weather than previous years. This should be a warning that China still
has much to do to improve the ecological environment in the west.
