China rings vast Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang with green belt to aid environment, economy

Just completed multi-decade project in Xinjiang region is intended to help prevent desertification and boost local economies.
The article from the South China Morning Post discusses China's ambitious project to surround the Taklamakan Desert, the country's largest desert, with a massive green belt. This initiative, part of a broader effort to combat desertification, involves planting trees and shrubs to create a barrier that will help prevent sandstorms, reduce soil erosion, and improve the local climate. The project not only aims at ecological restoration but also at economic benefits by potentially turning the desert's edge into arable land. The Great Wall of Trees, as it's sometimes called, stretches over thousands of kilometers and is part of China's long-term strategy to manage its environmental challenges, including the expansion of deserts due to climate change and human activities. This green belt is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing the environment, supporting local communities, and contributing to global efforts in carbon sequestration.
