In the late 1950s, the harnessing of the sand has been started in Wuwei. Through the effforts of the following governments, of the local people, some achievements have been made, in which some examples should be learned from by us such as Shi Shuzhu, Wang Yinji and the six old men in Babusha. However, due to increase of population, and cutting of trees, the amount of the water in this area has been reduced. Through our research including interviewing and data collecting, we want to know more about the desert and the importance of harnessing of the desert. We want to call on more people to protect the environment, to save water and become a protector of the ecosystem. All of us should make our own contributions to protecting our hometown.
