Once grappling with severe desertification, China has made remarkable strides in land management, becoming the first country to achieve land degradation neutrality. The transformation from vast, barren sands to thriving landscapes is a testament to innovative sand control strategies.
CGTN Opinion Editor Huang Jiyuan's visit to the Ulan Buh Desert highlighted the impressive efforts undertaken to combat desertification. Through a combination of reforestation, sustainable land use practices, and advanced technology, China has successfully stabilized and restored degraded lands.
This achievement not only enhances China's environmental resilience but also sets a benchmark for other nations facing similar challenges. By turning adversity into opportunity, China showcases the power of coordinated action and sustainable practices in preserving our planet's vital ecosystems.
