The Tamers of Sands of the Gobi Desert | SLICE EARTH
Minquin is an oasis town wedged between two Chinese deserts: Badain Jaran and Tengger. A natural barrier between the two, which must be preserved at all costs.
Today, this boundary is disappearing and the sand is rushing into a breach: the Mouth of the Tiger. If the immense masses of sand from these two deserts were to merge, the flow of sand falling on Beijing would increase significantly, and the city would pay dearly.
An army of farmers is waging a war against the sand in an attempt to put the brakes on the desert.

民勤是夹在中国两大沙漠(巴丹吉林沙漠和腾格里沙漠)之间的绿洲小镇,它是两片沙漠之间的天然屏障,必须不惜一切代价加以保护。
如今,这道屏障正在消失,风沙正冲向一个缺口:老虎嘴。如果来自这两个沙漠的大量沙子汇合在一起,落在北京的沙流量将大大增加,北京将付出沉重的代价。
一支由农民组成的大军正在向风沙开战,试图为沙漠刹车。
