China Completes 3,046-Kilometer Green Barrier After 40-Year Effort Around 337,000 Square Kilometers Taklimakan Desert
Dec 1, 2024, 09:36 PM
China has completed a significant environmental project by constructing a continuous 3,046-kilometer green barrier around the Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China. This monumental achievement, which took over 40 years to realize, aims to combat desertification and curb the expansion of the desert, which covers approximately 337,000 square kilometers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The initiative involved the use of drought-resistant plants and advanced engineering techniques, including biological and photovoltaic sand control measures. This project is seen as a critical step in transforming the desert landscape and promoting sustainable development in the region, allowing for potential agricultural expansion without the threat of desert encroachment.
