Title: China's Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program actively responds to the global desertification problem and builds a "Green Great Wall"

China, 3rd Dec 2024 - Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program is one of the major ecological projects to deal with desertification in the world. Since its inception in 1978, the project has achieved huge ecological, economic and social benefits, building a "Great Green Wall" in northern China to resist sand storms, preserve soil and water, protect agriculture and promote animal husbandry. This project is not only a strong proof of China's effectiveness in combating desertification, but also a model for the global fight against desertification and climate change. Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program aims to bring sustainable economic and ecological benefits to local communities through environmental protection, improve the global environment, and create a greener future for future generations.This, is the Green Great Wall, officially called the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program - an bold initiative to combat desertification, restore ecosystems, protect homes and lives. The program allocates over 4 million square kilometers to restoration efforts.By 2050, it aims to raise the forest coverage rate from 5.05% to 14.95%. Over the years, it faced challenges: harsh climates, soil degradation, and debates over sustainability.This project is a marathon, not a sprint backed by local communities and government support.In its early stages, tree planting became a national mission, and soon, millions of people joined in.Together, they planted over 78.1 billion trees in 40 years—turning deserts into forests, sand into soil, and barren earth into lush, vibrant life.
