The Altay region of Xinjiang

   Sinoway Forest has implemented a total area of 1,800 hectare of aerial seeding afforestation in the degraded and desertified national second level public welfare forests of Burjin County and Beitun City in Altay, Xinjiang. Approximately 50 tons of tree seeds including red willow, Haloxylon ammodendron, sea buckthorn, Artemisia annua, camel thorn, and caragana seeds have been planted.

    This aerial seeding afforestation work is the first operation of Sinoway Forest in the northern region of Xinjiang. The project is also a scientific research project in collaboration with the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Forestry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The institute, together with several experts on desert plants from the Xinjiang Academy of Forestry, will monitor the germination rate of tree seed balls throughout the entire aerial seeding process. Through satellite observation, on-site data collection, and other methods, a scientific demonstration will be conducted, and a professional project appraisal report will be issued to provide scientific and professional basis and support for our aerial seeding afforestation work in Xinjiang and the entire northwest region.
