‘All the birds returned’: How a Chinese project led the way in water and soil conservation The Loess plateau was considered the most eroded place on Earth until China took action and reversed decades of damage from grazing and farming

[1/4] Le plateau de Loess (640.000 km²) était l’une des régions les plus érodées au monde affectant 100M d'hab. En 1999 la #Chine a lancé le projet #GraintoGreen pour restaurer les sols et stopper l’ensablement du fleuve Jaune qui transporte le loess jusqu'à Pékin. #geography #restoration #rewilding
