The Forest In Baijitan

Standing on the top of a sand dune（沙丘），Abdulkarem from Yemen looked down at a man-made forest.He was on a trip with about 3O international students from Ningxia Medical University to visit Baijitan in Ningxia，China.Abdulkarem and his schoolmateswere told that the 6O-kilometer-long and 3O-kilometer-wide forest can help stop the sand from the MuUs Desert.

However，in the 195Os，the green space was once a desert.So how did all this happen？Over the past 7O years，people have planted a large number of trees to stop the Mu Us Desert from becoming larger.“It’s hard to believe，”Abdulkarem said. “My country also needs to protect people from the danger of deserts，and I see a great example here.”The students learned how to make a straw checkerboard（稻草棋盤）， a method of stopping sand from moving.“It’s really difficult，”Abdulkarem said. “Controlling desertification（沙漠化）takes a lotof timeand energy.I'm deeply encouraged by the spirit."

The students also visited the Museum of Baijitan.It records the history of how people fight desertification.“I have learned a lot from this trip.Isee the great work China has done to protect our planet，and other countries should learn from China." said Davis from India.
