Tamarix, a natural resource on which the communities
depend for fuelwood, tools, and basket making.
Tamarix is a natural resource on which the communities depend for fuelwood,
tools, and basket making. In an effort to re-establish groundwater recharge,
rejuvenate soil conditions, reduce waterlogging effects and salinization,
and restore Tamarix populations, four counties have joined forces to implement
the Tamarix project, including Cele, Yutian, Mingfeng, and Jiashi, an
integrated approach to agricultural production and forest rehabilitation
in dryland regions. Now communities, which at one time suffered extensive
land degradation, can effectively manage utilization of the rejuvenated
Tamarix populations for local needs and provide long-term soil protection
for cropping.
