1997-2000, training coordinator, capacity building for implementation of UN convention to combat desertification in the Inner Mongolia(UNDP), devised and ran 7different modules of training on desert and grasslands management for local officials, farmers and extension offi-cers; 2000-2003, leading a team undertaking ecological and landscape mapping and resource assessment to provide recommendations to CAS and local government in relation to better techniques to promote restoration and biodiversity conservation in grasslands management. _x000D_
More than 500 people were educated through the two projects, and more than 20% of them are the females. 2003-now, more than 50 foreign students and officials from abroad come to Shapotou station to learn the techniques about combating desertification every year. And now, more than 10 scientific projects relating ecological restoration in desert areas are conducted.
