Extended data Tarim river basin ecosystem needs to be restored and protected urgently.

Tarim River is located in Xinjiang, an arid area in northwest China. It has the dual characteristics of rich natural resources and fragile ecological environment, and is famous for its distinctive regional characteristics and outstanding water resources and ecological problems.

With the increasingly prominent contradiction between economy and ecology, especially in the lower reaches of Tarim River, the ecological environment is seriously degraded, rivers are cut off, lakes are dried up, and the groundwater level is greatly reduced. The desert vegetation dominated by Populus euphratica forest has declined in an all-round way, the desertification process has intensified, the area has expanded, the biodiversity has been seriously damaged, and the disastrous weather such as floating dust and sandstorm has increased day by day, which has become the most serious ecological disaster area in Tarim River Basin.

The severe ecological and environmental problems in the Tarim River basin have attracted the attention of the government and the international community.
