This is part of China’s efforts to fight desertification . Since 1978, China has planted over 66 billion trees across its dry northern areas, according to China Daily.
Desertification means there are no trees or grass. Water can’t stay in the soil and sand is everywhere.
About 2.6 million square kilometers of China’s land is covered with sand. That’s about 27 percent of the country’s land. It has also caused sandstorms .
By planting new trees, sandstorms in China have been cut by 20 percent in recent years. About 13,000 square kilometers of land have become oases (绿洲).
Ian Teh, a British photographer , traveled through northern China last year. He saw many new oases.
“It was hard to imagine that it was ever a desert,” he told Wired magazine.
