The development history of the Hexi Corridor is a process of growth and decline due to the mutual influence and struggle between man and desertification. The desertification control and ecological restoration in recent decades have curbed the expansion and spread of desertification，improved the agricultural production environment，and promoted economic and social development. However，due to climate changes，and special geographical location and natural conditions of the Hexi Corridor，excessive human interference with ecosystem and unreasonable use of resources，the causes of desertification still exist and lead to increasing desertification in some areas. Warming exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and increases the risk of agricultural production，thus making desertification control and ecological restoration a serious challenge. It is suggested to introduce the concept of integrated ecosystem management，improve the capacity of regulatory and policy frameworks，integrate climate change response into local development planning，implement “participatory” monitoring and evaluation，and enable equal and full participation of all stakeholders；build a water conservation society and raise public awareness；improve the ecological compensation system；develop sustainable livelihoods for farmers and herders；and promote sustainable economic，social and environmental development in desert areas.
