Conservation efforts in Inner Mongolia have spurred the northern region’s development and benefited the national capital, regional officials said yesterday in Beijing.
The autonomous region,hich is knon as a major source of the seasonal sandstorms that blanket Beijing,has “done hat it could“ to curb ecological deterioration,Yang Jing,chairman of the regional government,said.
“Protecting the environment has been listed as Inner Mongolia’s most important infrastructure project,“ Yang told a press conference anized by the State Council Information Office yesterday to mark the region’s 60th anniversary.
“The number of sandstorms has fallen significantly in recent years,hich favorably influences the eather in Beijing and Tianjin.“
Inner Mongolia,hich is some 300 km north of Beijing,has long been thought of as the capital’s backyard.Hoever,the distance is not enough to protect Beijing from the ind-borne dust and sand that blo don from the region.
Dust blon in from estern Inner Mongolia blanketed Beijing nearly to months ago,loering visibility to 4 km from 20 km the previous day.
Inner Mongolia has spent some 20 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) on efforts to halt desertification in an area measuring 16.7 million hectares over the past five years.It has also increased its forest coverage to 17.6 percent of its total area from 14.8 percent in 1999,Yang said.
At least 3 billion yuan as earmarked to implement the massive “Beijing-Tianjin indblon sand sources control project“ in a bid to build a green ecological belt in northern China,aording to regional government sources.
The project involves 458,000 sq km of land,about 48 percent of hich lies in Inner Mongolia.
“There are several sources of sand and dust (affecting Beijing) besides Inner Mongolia.We have done hat e could on our part,“ Yang said.
Chu Bo,secretary of the regional mittee of the Communist Party of China,said yesterday that 70 percent of the region’s livestock has been confined to enclosed pastures to reduce the grazing pressure on grasslands.
In addition to returning farmland to forests and reclaiming overgrazed pastures,Inner Mongolia has encouraged traditional pastoral areas to develop alternative industries.
Citing Erdos as a suess story,Chu said the city ould have plunged into an ecological vicious circle had it not built up secondary and tertiary industries.
As a result,the city of 1.4 million people is expected to have a gross domestic product of 100 billion yuan ($13 billion) this year,a level of prosperity that can only be found in the country’s coastal regions,Chu said.
Inner Mongolia is home to China’s largest grasslands.The region spans 1.18 million sq km,hich is about tice the size of Ukraine.
不算太长吧.

目前猪流感大规模流行的威胁导致一片混乱，在这之中，一个有关流行病的秘密正在被解开。官方机构已经指明一名来自墨西哥Veracruz州La Gloria地区的名为Edgar Hernandez的5岁孩子是“首个猪流感病例”——至少到目前为止Edgar Hernandez是他们发现的最早病例。病毒学家已经测定，正在变异的流感病毒是几种通常与猪有关的老流感病毒的结合体。而在La Gloria地区，一个有近1百万头生猪的养殖场就在附近。
那么是不是所谓的猪流感真的仅仅不过是又一个与养殖场有关的环境问题呢？
毕竟，这样大规模的养殖使得猪被关在狭小的空间里面，养殖者对它们还注射抗生素，以便使它们能在拥挤不堪和大量污秽的环境中存活下来。这些糟糕的环境为疾病的传播提供了绝佳的温床。
其它的一些健康威胁也已经在生猪养殖农场中显出苗头，比如具有耐抗性的金黄色葡萄球菌病毒的出现。
不过，这种H1N1病毒还没有在La Gloria附近的生猪养殖场中发现，目前也不清楚H1N1病毒是如何从养殖场传到小Edgar身上的。
不过，因为病毒学家们的不懈努力，有一点是清楚的根据美国疾病控制中心(U.S. Centers for Disease Control)的报道，在上个世纪90年代H1N1流感病毒在美国的生猪农场中就出现了。也许这种病毒如何从猪身上传到人身上与农场养殖一点儿关系也没有，密集的动物饲养模式是有助于疾病繁殖的。
Some have linked the ne strain of H1N1 to an industrial hog farm in Mexico
有人认为猪流感H1N1病毒的新变体与墨西哥一个工业化生猪养殖农场有关。
Can Sine Flu Be Blamed on Industrial Farming?
Amidst the hubbub surrounding the current pandemic threat from sine flu,
an epidemiological mystery has been unfolding. Authorities have designated
Edgar Hernandez, a fiveyearold from La Gloria in the Mexican state of
Veracruz as “Patient Zero“at least he is the earliest case they have found
so far. Virologists have determined that the mutating flu is a bination
of several older flu strains, monly associated ith pigs. And La Gloria
is home to nearly a million pigs on a nearby factory farm。
So is socalled sine flu really just another environmental problem associated
ith factory farming?
After all, such large operations keep the animals in close confinement, dope
them ith antibiotics to keep them alive in the croded conditions and create
vast pools and piles of asteall good ays to promote the spread of any disease。
Other health threats, such as antibioticresistant strains of
staphylocous aureus, have emerged from pig farms as ell。
Nevertheless, this H1N1 strain has not yet been found in the pigs near La
Gloria, nor is it clear ho it ould have jumped from the factory farm to
little Edgar。
But hat is clear thanks to the hard ork of virologists is that this
particular strain of flu got its geic start on U.S. hog farms back in
the 1990s. That’s aording to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Ho
the virus jumped from pigs to humans may have nothing to do ith factory
farms, but confined animal feeding operations helped to breed the disease。
