In the past decade, China has regrown more than 70 million hectares of forest cover. The country has benefited greatly from solutions in biodiversity conservation, sustainable usage and climate governance, resulting in wetland and forest restoration that also combats desertification. (link to a WEF article on China’s reforestation efforts)

… it has made “remarkable strides” in tackling the issue, said Xinhua, beginning in 1978 with the launch of the “Great Green Wall of China”. Expected to continue until 2050, the “biggest tree-planting project in human history” will ultimately have created “88 million acres of forests in a wall stretching about 3,000 miles and as wide as 900 miles in some places”, (article from The Week regarding anti-desertification efforts)

In November 2024, China’s government reported that after 46 years of work it had finished the 3,000-kilometer green belt around the Taklamakan Desert. The country’s forest coverage grew from 10% of the overall territory in 1949 to 25% in 2024 (this one’s a link to the Wikipedia page for the Great Green Wall initiative, if you’re interested)
