A great battle for green land

The Kubuqi desert once threatened to bury its nearby urban areas in sand. But years of comprehensive measures and dedicated efforts have successfully stopped dangerous desertification.

Ay who here agrees that we should be having prisoners working on projects like this to get a shorter prison sentence? That is a lot of hands right there and I feel many would jump at the chance to work away there sentence for the restoration of the earth.

[@mynamejeff3545]

Nah, then you get problems like in the US, where prisoners are forced to work for cents an hour or even nothing at all, doing hard and often dangerous work normally done by skilled manual laborers. The prisoners aren't paid and don't have the rights normal workers have: this makes them easy to exploit and dirt-cheap to use. It gets even worse when money is involved. The prison gets paid for the prisoners' labor (either by a state or corporation) and makes a big profit. Normal businesses, who actually have to pay their workers and uphold their rights, can't compete with slave labor, leaving people out of work (and therefore more likely to do crime...). The amount of corruption, exploitation and inhumane treatment as a result of the American industrial-prison complex is staggering. You don't want that in your country

[@b_uppy]

Depends on how the prisin labor system is set up. Forced labor tends to cause abuses, but volunteer prison work programs create opportunities for prisoners to be productive, get fresh air and experience, a change of view, as well as increased self worth. Many places could implement a conscientious use of prison labor. China is likely a poor one for the program. China is problematic for its human rights abuses,

[@stevenstart8728]

I’m an Aussie farmer and let me tell you straight that there is a great environmental program available to landholders that want to join in. Erosion control and revegetation has played a big part on ours and our neighbours farms. The local jail provides a Landmate crew to help with labour requirements which is much appreciated. We have learnt and moved on from agroforestry or single species plantings to locally indigenous plantings that support a diverse ecosystem. Once started nature takes over and the results are truly amazing. It also increases our production while using less area. These programs are supported and encouraged on a federal, state and local level. To say otherwise is either a lie or ignorant. Australian farmers are noted to be the most innovative and productive in the world, while along with NZ are capable of farming without subsidies.Maybe you need to see your country past the end of the tram tracks.

The United States has far more intelligence than wisdom. While setting its sights on China, it lacks a true visionary. Helen Keller’s country of birth has been conducting flights and naval operations to spy on all corners of the world - with neither vision nor foresight. How can Americans ever win the Chinese market - without even basic respect for China? How will the global economy work in the 21st-century, without contributions from the growing Chinese research science, engineering and entrepreneurship? Helen Keller: 1. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. 2. The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

[@NeOnFighterr]

China needs to use the technique of planting in trenches, several advantages, greater proximity of the plant roots to moisture in the deep soil, plants remain in the shade while they are young, possibility of filling the bottom of the trenches with organic matter coming from other regions, protection against winds , highly mechanizable. If it is necessary to produce small biodegradable panels made of organic material to support the trenches and protect against sand invasion, the organic panel would be 30cm+ inside the trench and 30cm+ outside as protection against windblown sand. These panels could be made from straw, wood, leaves, etc. pressed and applied mechanically. An alternative to trenches are biodegradable boxes for individual plants that allow you to maintain a hole in the sand where the plant remains deep and protected.

[@b_uppy]

This is a start but you need to do rainwater harvesting, too.

[@LiveLongProsperV]

i know its very dusty sand, but why don't they just sell it. i mean, you've got to process it first, by running it through water and mesh screens, so its got different grades. different purposes comes next. and then, transport via truck or rail - the latter is preferrable for heavy hauls. add in some of those Australian 'land trains' where its req'd. where do you use this kind of sand? - use it to make insulation. use it to make artificial sand stone. use the coarser varieites for interlocking brick work, use it for road construction. combine it with reycled polymers for a light-weight aggregate. build your garbe dumps where there's open pits. layer it with the polymers. build MSBR reactors for the required energy consumption.

I understand the concept and reason for how the pattern is laid out, but water still becomes the most important factor if this is to succeed. The pattern is a minder to show everyone how a pattern doesn't have to encompass the whole deserts, but using 50-70% of the area of the desert achieves the same result, saving on material and resources. Peace

[@downbntout]

huntlywestside There is rainfall enough to grow plants here, but bare sand lets the rain evaporate away. As plantings take hold they retain rainfall. Also the underground moisture is always there, just need roots to hold onto it. As plant matter falls dead to the surface it holds water and successive layers become topsoil

Water is underground. When small plants rooted firmly, the ground temperature will decrease a lot so that moisture from Atlantic Ocean can make rain fall there instead of vaporized by extremely hot sand. Then water can be in turn preserved.
