Jinta County, located in northwest China's Gansu Province, is spearheading a significant environmental project in 2024. The afforestation and greening initiative along the Jinhe highway stands as one of the county's key projects aimed at combating desertification.
By integrating artificial afforestation with innovative grass grids and other sustainable measures, the project aims to control approximately 550 hectares of sand-prone areas. This multifaceted approach not only enhances the green cover but also stabilizes the soil, reducing the spread of desert sands.
The initiative reflects Jinta County's commitment to environmental stewardship and showcases how targeted efforts can make a substantial impact in combating desertification. As the project progresses, it is expected to serve as a model for other regions facing similar ecological challenges.
