Just one year ago, China achieved a historic environmental milestone: the completion of a 'Green Great Wall' along the edges of the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This 2024 project created the world’s longest ecological barrier—but the battle against desertification is far from over. 🌍
Right now, in Moyu County on the desert’s southern fringe, bulldozers and loaders roar across golden sands, flattening dunes to prepare for a 38,000-acre desert control initiative. The goal? Planting date trees to anchor the soil and push the 'greening' frontier deeper into the desert’s heart. 🚜💨
What started as a mission to 'lock' the desert’s borders has evolved into an ambitious campaign to transform barren landscapes into fertile ground. Local workers and engineers are racing against time, blending traditional knowledge with modern tech to turn sand into sustainability. 🌾✨
