Mongolia was hit by a sandstorm, killing 6 people and missing more than 80 people. How can we avoid the formation of sandstorms?

Sandstorm refers to a serious sandstorm weather phenomenon that a large amount of dust on the ground is blown into the air by strong winds, which makes the air turbid and the horizontal visibility is less than 1KM. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to strengthen environmental protection and restore vegetation to avoid the formation of sandstorms.

First, avoid overgrazing. In recent years, with the continuous acquisition of various resources from nature, vegetation has been seriously damaged, especially overgrazing and reclamation of grassland, resulting in the destruction of a large number of grassland vegetation and serious grassland desertification. Therefore, we should control grazing, implement rotation grazing system, divide the limited grassland, take turns grazing, restore and plant pasture.

Second, restore vegetation. Due to the serious degradation of some grasslands, it is impossible to restore vegetation through natural mediation. At this time, it is necessary to plant grass artificially, which can quickly restore the desertified grassland. Vegetation restoration area can be continuously expanded by measures such as closing sand to promote grass and managing small watersheds. At the same time, artificial grass planting can also promote the increase of animal husbandry production, improve the quality of animal husbandry products and optimize the nutritional structure of animal husbandry products by optimizing pasture.

Third, make rational use of water resources. Large-scale reclamation in the upper reaches of some river basins consumes a lot of water, even exceeding the standard. In some places, water conservancy projects are built to store water, which leads to the decrease of downstream water, and some rivers may even be cut off, leading to the decline and death of vegetation. Therefore, we should plan water resources rationally, limit upstream water use and water conservancy projects, and ensure adequate water supply in the whole basin.

Fourth, strengthen supervision. In recent years, more and more people have started to visit go on road trip. Many people drive SUVs to the grassland. In order to satisfy their personal desires, they crush grasslands at will, and it will take decades for grasslands to recover after being crushed by wheels. Therefore, we should strengthen supervision and increase the illegal cost, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting grasslands and vegetation.

The occurrence of sandstorms is directly affected by human activities, so we call on everyone to protect the environment and protect their own living environment.
