This is again a project of an unfathomable scale that's just been completed in China and barely anyone has heard of it in the rest of the world China has just finished constructing a continuous 3,046-kilometer (1,892-mile) green barrier - made of plants and trees - completely encircling the...

I saw a lot of questions related to how they choose whether to use plants, solar panels, or sand-control engineering in different sections of the green wall. This is a great video by @FriedaLi3 that explains this 👇

O but at what cost? What about The Desert right to self determination?

Amazing project ! In the meantime, we have new plastic bottle caps on Evian and co. In Europe.🙌

China has built a 3,000 kilometer long Green Great Wall around the Taklamakan Desert. In the long run, I believe this is part of China's efforts to turn the Taklamakan Desert into the oasis. The Taklamakan Desert has not always been a desert. 2000 years ago, there were some ancient kingdoms here, such as the famous ancient city of Jingjue. However, as the Earth's climate declined, evaporation and precipitation decreased, these ancient civilizations disappeared, and this land gradually became covered by deserts. But for a long time to come, the Earth's temperature will obviously rise, global precipitation will increase, melting snow in surrounding mountains will also increase, and water supply in the Taklamakan Desert is increasing. We even heard some "flood" news in Taklamakan desert last year. It is not surprising that oases will reappear. The strength of Chinese civilization is actually strongly positively correlated with the Earth's temperature. The two strongest dynasties in Chinese history, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, were both among the hottest period on Earth, and now the Earth's temperature is rising again........

Interesting, thanks!

BBC "New research in environmental science shows that improper afforestation may have a negative impact on the environment; The research subjects include afforestation projects in the northern deserts of China."

Classic... They had to find a negative angle on it, didn't they...

This is day 21 of our Xinjiang RV roadtrip and we're now driving the long road between Aksu and Kashgar, alongside the Taklamakan desert and what is probably one China's greatest engineering accomplishments of the past few decades, if not in its entire history. This is strangely not well-known but, starting in 1978, China launched an insanely ambitious project to completely surround this desert - which is larger than the entire country of Italy - with a "Great Green Wall" made of millions of trees and farm fields, stretching over 3,046 km. The whole project was completed in November 2024 so it took a crazy 46 years, older than I am! Why do so? Because the Taklamakan is the world's second-largest moving sand desert and the fastest moving one, known to literally swallow entire kingdoms and cities: the ancient Silk Road kingdom of Loulan vanished under its sands centuries ago, and in modern times the town of Cele (策勒) on its southern edge had to relocate three times as the dunes kept burying it. It also protects the very highway on which we're presently driving: without the "Great Green Wall" this road would be buried under sand every other day - and just couldn't exist as a result. As we're witnessing, it's very real and super impressive: we've been driving for 3 hours now and the wall of green alongside us hasn't stopped for a single kilometer. Three hours of continuous trees and fields separating us from a sea of sand.

This anti-desertification technology, known as the "straw checkerboard sand barrier," originated in China and has since spread throughout the world. In 2023, I met Tang Xining, a 57-year-old scientist who has been fighting desertification in Ningxia for more than 30 years. He is the third-generation Chinese scientist to employ the "straw checkerboard sand barrier". More than 487 square kilometers of land have been spared from desertification because to his efforts. He has modernized the method using machines and other cutting-edge technology, earning five patents. The original "straw checkerboard sand barrier" only kept 25% of the desert's grass alive, whereas the new technique keeps almost 75% of the plants thriving. He showed me how to make a "straw checkerboard sand barrier" the old-fashioned way. The straw checkerboard sand barriers were originally created for building the desert section of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway. Researchers discovered that straws arranged in a checkerboard pattern on the desert floor can effectively control the movement of sand dunes. In 1955, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established China’s first comprehensive observation station in Shapotou; and then the following year, the country’s first specialized sand-break forest was launched. After numerous failures and explorations, straw checkerboard sand barriers were adopted as the main method to deal with moving sand when the railway opened. The method was applauded by experts from both home and abroad at the United Nations Conference on Desertification (UNCOD) in Nairobi in 1977. Since then, foreign experts and personnel came one after another to Shapotou to learn the unique method. In China, the fight against desertification and for environmental conservation began with the deployment of straw checkerboard sand barriers.
