DUST STORM DAILY LIFE
Xilingol steppe, Inner Mongolia Province, April 29th, 2006 Ñ Daily life during the Òdusty weather seasonÓ (January-May) in the town of Sanggen Dalai, that stands amid the Hunshandake Sandland. The rangelands in that arid expanse of the Xiligol steppe have nearly disappeared.
The famous Xilingol steppe, 600 km north of Beijing, faces increasing desertification. The once-green land has been overgrazed by a booming number of livestock, becoming a major source of dust storms over northern Chinese cities, including Beijing, and reaching as far as Japan, Korea and North America.
