Abstract
Situated in the arid area in the inland of the Central Asia, the reaches of the Tarim River possesses unique natural conditions. Being one of the most concentratedPopulus euphratica distributing areas, it is a comparatively big ecosystem. Due to the human effect during the recent 30 years, especially the lack of overall planning of exploitation and utilization of water resources and poor awareness of ecologic protection, resources of the whole reaches and its ecologic environment is deteriorating, which rouses the attention from home and abroad. The programme being carried out is based on protecting the ecologic environment of the reaches of the Tarim River. The task is to protect ecologic environment, improve and restore the existing natural vegetation in order to prevent land desertification.
