As a result more than 20 percent of the land affected by desertification in the project zone has been brought under control and soil erosion has been controlled in over 40 percent of the areas traditionally affected by erosion, said the SFA.

 

The forest shelter protects 20 million hectares of farmland from winds and sand storms and assisted raise the grain output by 11 million tons annually.

However, the situation is now improving thanks to the forest shelter project.

 

 

More than one million hectares of trees have been planted to assist conserve water resources within the project areas helping to increase water resources by 330 million tons annually. A total of 912,000 hectares of firewood type trees have also been planted which produce more than 20 million tons of firewood annually for six million farming households. These trees also produce over 20 million tons of fresh and dried fruits annually which bring profits of 20 million yuan (US$2.5 million) to local people.

 

The forest shelter project will also assist improve the ecological environment of 30 million hectares of grassland and raise the fodder grass output by 4.45 million tons annually.
