China’s Great Green Wall halts desert spread

This picture taken on August 12, 2025 shows an aerial view of the contrast between the green zone and the desert landscape of the Kubuqi Desert, in Ordos, in China’s northern Inner Mongolia region. China’s “Great Green Wall” campaign initially aimed to contain the expansion of deserts in the arid north caused by intensive farming, grazing, mining and climate change. But in some places the goal has now evolved into creating new arable land, and the project combines large-scale tree planting with sowing drought-resistant creepers, and even installing vast solar arrays to limit wind and shade plants.
