On the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, a jade-green lake emerges from the sands. This oasis in Xinjiang's Hotan County is shaped by glacial meltwater from the Kunlun Mountains and a local ecological flood diversion project.

In China’s Gobi Desert, locals fight desertification with simple methods! They lay 3x3 straw checkerboards to cut wind by half and trap most of the sand. With drought-resistant plants and special mesh nets that pull water from the air, over three generations they turned more than 6,000 square meters of desert into a green oasis!

Driving an RV through the Taklamakan Desert during a sand storm is not as fun as it sounds 😏 By the way, the name Taklamakan in Uyghur apparently means "you go in, you don't come out." And... we got in 😅

🇨🇳 CHINA IS LITERALLY STOPPING THE DESERT WITH BULLDOZERS AND TREES First they flatten the dunes so wind can’t launch sand everywhere. Then they plant millions of drought-proof trees with roots so deep they can survive a year without rain and hold the sand in place. China is reclaiming about 930 square miles of desert every year, turning it into grasslands, forests and even farmland. Source: puspa.raja589

So... the Arabian desert. You picture endless sand, right? The Book of Mormon, translated by Joseph Smith in 1829, describes a "GARDEN IN THE DESERT" — a hidden coastal oasis with fruit, wild honey, shipbuilding timber, and iron ore deposits. No Western map showed it. Then in 1928, British explorer Bertram Thomas walked into the Qara Mountains of southern Oman and confirmed every detail. How did this 23-year-old farmboy in upstate New York perfectly describe a region the British Empire didn't map until 99 years later? Check out our YouTube channel:
