“大力发展沙草、林草产业,变沙为宝,变害为利,恢复植被、还我绿洲”,这是在前不久成立的内蒙古沙草产业协会暨研讨会上的主题。我国著名的科学家、科技界泰斗钱学森教授欣然担任协会荣誉顾问。毛乌素、巴丹吉林、库布其、腾格里、浑善达克、科尔沁等八大沙漠、沙地占据了内蒙古近1/6的草原面积。当我们用科学的、发展的、创新的眼光来审视,换一个角度看沙漠时,沙漠是一种资源,是一项产业。一大批有志于沙草产业的企业家纷纷投入了沙漠治理开 “Efforts to develop sandgrass, forestry and grass industries, transform sand into treasure, change damage to benefit, restore vegetation, return to my oasis,” was the theme of the Inner Mongolia Sandgrass Industry Association and Symposium that was recently established. Professor Qian Xuesen, a renowned scientist and the scientific and technological community in China, is pleased to serve as honorary advisor to the Association. Maowusu, Badan Jilin, Kubuqi, Tengger, Hunsandak, Horqin and other eight deserts and sandlands occupy nearly 1/6 of the grassland area in Inner Mongolia. When we look at science, development, and innovation to look at the desert in a different perspective, the desert is a resource and an industry. A large number of entrepreneurs who are interested in the sandgrass industry have invested in desert governance.
