Imagine stepping into what used to be a sea of sand, only to find a carpet of green stretching as far as the eye can see. That's exactly what's happening on the Chinese mainland today 🌱.
General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping has long championed greening efforts. He's repeatedly highlighted that, with limited forest resources and a fragile ecological system, afforestation and ecological improvement aren't just nice-to-haves – they're must-dos to protect the land we all share.
Thanks to landmark projects like the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program, the Chinese mainland recently became the first to achieve zero net land degradation 🌍.
This shift from “sand advancing, people retreating” to “greenery advancing, sand retreating” marks a historic environmental victory. It shows how large-scale commitment and long-term planning can literally change the landscape – both for people and for wildlife.
The Chinese mainland's greening success is proof that bold environmental visions, backed by action, can bloom into reality. Let's take inspiration from this green revolution and think about how we can bring more life to our own backyards.
