Bezdomny ex Patria just posted a translation for a Beijing News article that talks about the shrinking of the Aibi Lake here in Xinjiang (Chinese article here). Good stuff.
Unfortunately, Xinjiang doesn't have a good track record with lakes, the most recent extinction being the Lop Nor lake near the Taklamakan Desert. Hopefully things will fare better with Aibi.
