HOHHOT, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) On a snow-covered prairie in north China, Ting Bater, 65, herds cattle on his ranch, where he enjoys seeing wildlife such as roe deer, badger and crane.
He is grateful that his ranch retains such vitality. Located on the northern edge of Hunshandake Sandland, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the grassland had been in danger of creeping desertification of the sandland.
Hunshandake, meaning yellow wild horse in Mongolian, is one of the four largest sand lands in north China. Its southern edge is only 180 km north of Beijing, and its average altitude is more than 1,000 meters higher than Beijing.
