In the late 20th century, China’s Loess Plateau, the world’s most eroded region, faced severe soil degradation. The “Grain for Green” program, launched in 1999, restored the plateau by converting farmland to forests and grasslands. This initiative revitalized the environment and improved local […]

1100M people live in a 245K sq mi/640K sq km area in China known as the #Loessplateau. Once fertile & productive, generations of farming & grazing had eroded the land, sending dust across many cities. #WorldBankfunding in 1999 helped regreen the plateau & reverse damage.

Possible community height assembly in grasslands and regional differences in their responses to changing climate and resource availability.

Yes. Have a look at our new documentary #TheClimateRestorers: #EcosystemRestoration, on global broadcast from #EarthDay next month. John D Liu and the #LoessPlateau are compared with the North American #DustBowl… www.theclimaterestorers.com

We’ve treated in depth the restoration of the #LoessPlateau and compared it with the #DustBowl in the final documentary of our 4-part series #TheClimateRestorers, due out next month on TV at @earthxorg.bsky.social

Thank You @moreorloess.bsky.social

Chinese efforts restoring vegetation in #LoessPlateau and now #GreatGreenWall are one of the greatest achievements in combatting extreme land degradation by employing #ecosystem #restoration at a large scale

#GenerationRestoration needs to think big & act fast!
