中新社阿拉善盟8月27日电 题：绿进沙退的阿拉善答卷 中新社记者 张焕迪 "阎王鼻子"，一片曾因驼盐古道商队丧生而得名的险地，是内蒙古自治区阿拉善盟高新区、示范区泥沙 入黄最严重的区域之一。中新社记者近日探访此地，了解当地由"黄"转"绿"的生态革命。 2022年，黄河上中游阿拉善盟乌兰布和段(阎王鼻子)阻沙入河生态修复工程开工。谈及项目的施工难度 时，该项目负责人宫宏斌回忆说："白天刚平整的沙地，一夜大风就复归原状，我们补植了至少3轮苗木 才站稳脚跟。" 2024年，修复工程顺利完工。如今的"阎王鼻子"已不见昔日"沙丘扎进黄河"的景象：草方格如大地的针 脚固定流沙，202万株灌木与13万棵乔木织成绿色铠甲，植被覆盖率从不足5%跃升至35%以上，该区域 每年减少9万吨泥沙入黄。 在阿拉善盟阿拉善左旗宗别立镇，40多万亩梭梭林从贺兰山北麓向沙漠延伸，形成东西长37公里、南北 宽23公里的绿色防护屏障。 2015年，宗别立镇茫来嘎查的返乡大学生王刚跟随父辈种植梭梭、嫁接肉苁蓉时，许多牧民仍在观望； 如今，越来越多的牧民加入种植行列。"居住环境变得越来越好，绿色多了，风沙少了。"王刚告诉中新 社记者，牧民们不仅每年能 ...

众所周知，中国的第一大内流河是塔里木河，那么第二呢？实际上，第二名的长度一直在变，现在是近 1000公里，但在20多年前，却只有500多公里。它就是地跨青甘蒙三省区的黑河！黑河在中国西部有着 特殊的区位优势，是数百万人口的主要水源，但它却时刻面临着存亡之危，下游曾一度完全干涸。但在 20多年的治理下终于再度复活。 黑河是如何起死回生的呢？既需要足够多的水，也需要包括大众中 国"绿带行动"在内的众多植树造林、防沙治沙项目。话不多说，上正片！ ...

保护生态环境、推动绿色发展是上海合作组织国家的共识。近年来，中国同其他上合组织成员国加强绿 色发展领域交流合作，助力各国经济社会可持续发展，促进人与自然和谐共生。上合组织正以实际行 动，将绿色发展的共识转化为具体成果，为全球绿色发展作出"上合贡献"。 以经验共享提升生态环境福祉 在乌兹别克斯坦努库斯市的咸海滨湖区盐碱地上，棉田绵延成片，枝头的棉花长势喜人。这里是由中国 企业与乌兹别克斯坦咸海国际创新中心合作打造的"光伏+棉花水肥一体化"种植试验示范区。 位于亚欧大陆腹地的咸海，地跨哈萨克斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦两国，曾是世界第四大湖泊。20世纪60年代 以来，咸海面积缩小了90%以上，干涸的湖床上形成了面积5万多平方公里的荒漠，咸海成为令人痛惜 的"中亚之泪"。 多年来，中国和乌兹别克斯坦的科学家合力探索咸海生态危机的解决之道，双方签订咸海生态治理协 议，建成节水棉田示范区。示范区中方技术负责人、中国科学院新疆生态与地理研究所正高级工程师王 平告诉记者，中国的种植和节水灌溉技术让当地棉花产量提高了两倍以上，该技术的推广有望大幅提高 作物产量，改善当地棉农生计，缓解咸海生态危机。咸海国际创新中心主任哈比布拉耶夫表示： ...

怎样才算到了南疆呢？看见大漠黄沙，遥望雪峰高耸，走近巴扎时闻见烤肉的烟火气，抑或路过乡道时 偶遇一群牛羊拦住去路？这些场景当然都是南疆，但总有"横看成岭侧成峰"之感。 最近一次赴南疆采访，飞机越过绵延天山，掠过沙漠抵近机场时，我从舷窗俯瞰——黄沙将尽，绿洲乍 现的那一刻，南疆这片围绕在沙海边缘，迸发着生命与希望的奇迹之地突然清晰起来。是的，看见树影 婆娑才是真正抵达南疆。 南疆地处天山以南、昆仑山以北，塔克拉玛干沙漠横卧其中，包含喀什、和田、阿克苏、克州、巴州5 个地级行政区。在南疆，不同的地貌生长着不同的树。沙漠深处，抽发嫩芽的小胡杨旁是不知道枯死了 多久但依然昂首挺立的老胡杨；农田周边，一排排笔直的新疆杨防风林带下是正待采摘的核桃树。只要 在南疆出门走走，那些灰扑扑、土蒙蒙的枝枝叶叶总会提醒你这是沙漠边缘的某处地方。 不同于许多人心中黄沙漫天的刻板印象，也许树才是南疆最显眼的标识。树木、小草和庄稼连成片片绿 洲，因为绿洲的存在，人们得以在沙海之畔延续千年文明。庄稼一茬茬播种收割，小草一年年枯萎重 生，唯有大树捱过一次次的风沙、一年年的干旱、一个又一个寒冷的冬天，总是坚定地扎根在这片土地 上。 穿越塔里木河 ...
