The Green Great Wall

Synopsis

Stretching from Heilongjiang in the east to Xinjiang in the west, it runs 8,000 kilometers and covers 42.4% of China's land area. It protects vast areas of northwest, north and northeast China from wind and sand erosion and from soil and water loss. Work on this Great Wall began in 1978 and has continued for a full 40 years, and the project will go on. This is the "Green Great Wall": the Three-North Shelterbelt Program, which holds world records among ecological projects for its scope, scale and duration.
