Every autumn, Jinta County in Gansu Province welcomes a large number of tourists. There, a large area of Populus euphratica forest changed from dark green to yellow, and then became intoxicating golden yellow, walking in the forest, as if in a fairy tale world. Many photographers drive thousands of miles just to see the picturesque scenery of Populus euphratica.

Jinta County is located between Badain Jaran and Kumtag deserts, with more than 400 sandstorms, which is one of the areas with the most serious desertification and sandstorm hazards in China. In such a harsh natural environment, the tenacious Populus euphratica has turned into a forest, guarding this land.

Populus euphratica, as an ancient tree species with a history of more than 65 million years, is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and salt-tolerant, and is a unique and precious forest resource in desert areas. Populus euphratica plays an important role in preventing wind and fixing sand, regulating climate and improving soil, and is known as the "desert hero tree".

In order to curb desert erosion and conserve water and soil, in June 2020, Huawei and China Green Foundation launched the public welfare project "I have a Populus euphratica forest in Gansu" and donated 50,000 Hu Yangshu trees to Jinta County, Gansu Province.

Huawei also called on consumers to participate and gather trees into forests to contribute to the protection of the ecological environment in Gansu.

The research shows that one Hu Yangshu plant absorbs 2 15.68kg of carbon dioxide in its lifetime, and each mu of Populus euphratica (42 plants per mu) can absorb 9,058.56kg of carbon dioxide in its lifetime. According to this calculation, 62,439 Populus euphratica trees planted this year are expected to form a windbreak and sand-fixation forest of 1.499 mu, and control the damaged area of sandstorm of1.654,38+0.239 mu, which is equivalent to the size of 1.049 standard football fields.

Plant a seedling and reap thousands of green flowers. This little kindness has connected people from all corners of the country with the desert in the northwest border. After the baptism of wind and sand, this Populus euphratica forest full of love and expectation will become the strongest and most loyal "guardian" of Jinta, nourishing a wider land.
