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 30 international students from Ningxia Medical University to visit Baijitan in Ningxia, China. Abdulkarem and his schoolmates were told that the 60 - kilometre - long and 30 - kilometre - wide forest can help stop the sand from the Mu Us Desert.
However, in the 1950s, this area was once a desert. So how did all this happen? Over the past 70 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 (稻草棋盘), a method of stopping sand from moving. "It's really difficult," Abdulkarem said. "Controlling desertification(沙漠化) takes a lot of time and 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. I see the great work China has done to protect our planet, and other countries should learn from China," said Davis.
