The economic model of the Kubuqi Desert is considered by the United Nations the world's most successful practice in terms of restoration of desert ecosystems. The key to its success is both effective commercial operation and rational industrial structure, which not only guarantee healthy growth within the Kubuqi Model but also boost sustainable development of ecological restoration.

An important lesson learned from the Kubuqi Model is that Elion's core value of "honest and win-win cooperation" helped the company build partnerships with stakeholders including local farmers and herders, local and central governments and international organizations, which they neede to build a complete global wealth sharing mechanism.

The cooperation with local and central governments aims to make Kubuqi an 'experimental field' for policy and institutional innovation, to accumulate experience on various policies to motivate private capital's participation in desertification control.
