When we think of deserts, we usually imagine an endless, desolate area filled with yellow sand that makes it difficult for plants to survive. This extreme environment makes it easy for people to associate it with harsh living conditions.
But in the Dalat Banner Desert in Inner Mongolia, China, an incredible transformation has taken place. They raised 1.2 million rabbits in the desert, which not only successfully reversed the process of desertification, but also helped local people enter a prosperous life.
In just a few years, this once sandy land was transformed into an oasis full of life and greenery.
So, what kind of rabbit can create such a miracle in such a short period of time? What's the story hidden behind this?

I don't understand it. Once hares and rabbits had become the scourge of the Australian outback, so much so they had to be culled to control their exploding populations. If they were such a boon, why did Australia not see a reversal over its millions of acres of dried and parched land into grasses, shrubbery and trees? So the story presented here is incomplete and really does not offer any data except to give general descriptions using pictures from here and there. We need a more complete picture of this project, if project it ever was. The millions of rabbits produced here might be supplying meat for human consumption, but as to stopping desertification, we need more data and proof.
Well said. I have my doubts as well. Coming from Europe, and used to rabbits, I never heard about rabbits being this unbelievable beneficial to the restoration of greenery. On the contrary, a rabbit-plague was always seen as a devastation for it. Usually, rabbits are kept in check by foxes and other predators, but without natural predators, a rabbit plague is devastating to the natural growth of young saplings. You often have to protect - with metal-wire - young saplings of trees and shrubbery in a rabbit-heavy area, or it will get eaten and destroyed.
So I have SERIOUS questions to the validity of this vid, claiming it's such a huge boon to re-forestation. As you say, if that were true, Australia would be a lush forest by now, with the unbridled diaspora of rabbits since the 19th century there. Instead, we see more desertification, not less. Rabbits play a role in the total ecological balance of a forest and grassland of Europe - just like grasshoppers - where the ecosphere always had rabbits, but I very much doubt a giant swarm of it is the solution for reforestation, just like a giant swarm of locusts wouldn't be. Let alone in an era that never had them much before.
Did you not watch the video?
The rabbits don't do all the work.
People still need to so work.
So why it didn't work in Australia?
Cause people didn't do anything.
🙄
I concur
The type of rabbit is different I supposed. Here they mentioned the Rex Hare rabbit, that can't digest hard seeds e.g grass seeds. Wherelse, the rabbits found in the Australian desert might be a different breed.
The type of desert might also play an important role too.
Don't start your desert rehabilitation project after watching this video. You need much more information than what is described in this video to get practical knowledge of what is required to do the rehabilitation.
When rabbit population rise, it's important to consume as food to control their population

Yeah, if China can spend time and resources on reforestation since 1950s, making studies on their own terrains, so can the rest of the world. It’s just a matter of priorities..
Yeah whilst they destroy the oceans.

Rabbits introduced into Australia destroyed much of the bush, they bred so quick that they couldn’t be controlled.

Not sure why that’s funny. At least they’re not dogs.
@@abrahamthebewildered1448 be worse if talking about felines
Seems many of the doubters missed where they said it is the Rex hare rabbit due to their special digestive tract. Australian hares/rabbits are not these type of rabbits. Australian wild rabbits have a stronger digestive track that can break down hard seeds therefore leave no seeds in their excrement, it is the seeds that create regrowth assisted by the minerals in their excrement
The Rabbit eats the fresh shoots of the plants that grow. Doesnt matter how many seeds they spread, they eat the plants that sprout and thus kill any new growth.
Really? I must delete my post.
You do not understand. Does not matter what type of rabbit as they all dig burrows and destroy the soil eco structure. Bejing is going to love the bigger Dust Storms😂
You are missing the vital point. All rabbits dig burrows and as Australia found when the soil is broken winds blow the soil in all directions thus destroying and turning the land into drifting sand deserts. This will happen in a very short time. If China is stupid enough to release any type of rabbit Bejing will be plagued by dust storms never seen before.
@@briansims1987 You are wrong. I live in China and there used to be sandstorms every year, but in the last few years there have been no sandstorms at all and the deserts have been treated so successfully that large areas have been turned into oases. This is due to the fact that China has brought in water from the Yellow River to the desert, as well as planting trees and photovoltaic power generation and breeding goats and rabbits. The rabbits dig holes to change the structure of the sand to make it more suitable for them to live in, and the plant seeds eaten by the goats and rabbits spread farther with their feces. Of course this requires more effort to supervise them to avoid negative effects. Overall everything is going according to plan, you can look at the Chinese deserts on Google satellite maps and see that they have turned a light green color, that's a fact. And there is basically no meaty wildlife to proliferate in China...
This type of agriculture is probably also applicable in arid places like Afghanistan. Plus, rabbit meat is considered halal, so now that growing poppy fields is made illegal by the Taliban, this is a good repurpose for their land.
jes. :) and also god food .
Except terrorism everything is haram😂😂😂.
@@toxicpanda9371or cowdungs?
Halal is the Islamic process of preparation of meat suitable for human consumption for a live animal/bird. The type of animal/bird has nothing to do with halal.
Boss Afghanistan was a beautiful place untill USA invasion
The Australian rabbits experience and the Chinese one, are totally different... In Australia, it was done in a dumb way, without any serious research... And the rabbits went to encroach places where there was a florishing cattle and a sheep industry... In China, this experiment has taken place in an intelligent way... First at all, in places where desertification was not only growing at an alarming pace but ruining the land and destroying the environment... Also, the rubbits were not let on their own, but it came together with other combined iniciatives such as water resources, reforestation, human control and solid investment of money... Can I say the Chinese used their brains and the Australians only said: “She will be all right, mate” and went to drink beer and play cricket...
We will see
Good luck, from Australia
its green spray paint and rebar...it looks good from the sky.. saw the video already
Agree entirely with what you’ve said and I’m Australian.
Thats because China is GREAT and everyone else is ....oh wait a second; the CCP already covered that
But if it eats grass-roots, doesn't it destroy what it "improves"? I'm from Europe, used to rabbits (including eating them), and I can say that the claim rabbits are a boon to reforestation is nonsensical. On the contrary, you have to *protect* young saplings of trees and shrubs with metal wire, or it gets destroyed in rabbit-heavy area's... I mean, who doesn't know this?
I'll quote: "Rabbits compete with native wildlife, damage vegetation and degrade the land. They ringbark trees and shrubs, and prevent regeneration by eating seeds and seedlings. Their impact often increases during drought and immediately after a fire, when food is scarce and they eat whatever they can."
And another one, from scientific research done as an experiment:
"Seedlings of four native tree species were planted in abandoned pasture in southern Costa Rica to test their suitability for reforestation. Overall, the stems of 64% of the seedlings were cut by rabbits and only 26% of the seedlings survived 2 years after planting. Those seedlings that were able to survive and resprout after cutting by rabbits showed much lower growth rates than uncut seedlings. This study suggests that mammalian herbivory may be a more important factor in (limiting) tropical reforestation than previously assumed."
So, if anything, it is a LIMITING factor, and it INHIBITS fast reforestation - completely contrary to what this vid claims!
Yep. This is typical Chinese propaganda. No one believes anything they say. Why start now?
You have wild rabbits in Europe right? So why don't Europe and America have the same problem as Australia? Obviously the conditions are different. So an experiment in Costa Rica doesn‘t necessarily produce the same results as in the desert area in Mongolia.
@@sandhogssundaysMy friend, I already explained this. It's because the rabbits here are part of the natural ecosystem since thousands of years. Meaning: they have many natural enemies as well, and some of our plants adapted as well. While they don't have that in Australia. THAT is why rabbits seldom grow to a plague here, while it does in Australia.
Also meaning: to stimulate the growth of a forest as fast as possible, you do NOT need rabbits: those animals destroy a lot of young saplings. Note that, even with natural enemies, rabbits are NOT a boon to vegetable growth; it just means the damage is less and containable.
Anyone suggesting that in a fragile system where you try to re-forest a desert you need rabbits, is an idiot.
The Costa Rico experiment is not a single example, btw. In no experiment anywhere, were rabbits *a boon* for re-forestation. Which makes sense, BECAUSE THEY EAT THE ROOTS OF GRASS AND YOUNG SAPLINGS. That's why, even in Europe, when we try to reforest successfully a piece of land that is known to contain many rabbits, we always put metal fences around the stems. It's exactly FOR THAT REASON.
Don't know how I can make it any clearer to you.
@sandhogssundays The difference are hawks, fox, coyotes, hunters, etc.!!!
I have a whole bunch of rabbits and disagree with you. The benefit of rabbits are already outlined in the video and before they covered it, I knew it, because I proposed something like this years ago when I was in college for the Sahara.
1) The turn over the soil efficiently, which requires less machines and humans
2) In the desert, there is already low food, so they are controlled by that naturally, but:
3) They can't really eat certain plants nor seeds, so that is fertilized and since the SOIL IS TURNED over by tons of rabbits, they now can plant more seeds
4) They also capture and eat and sell the rabbits (fur)
In Australia, they didn't do what the Chinese did, which was COMBINE the rabbits with their 1 meter x 1 meter straw squares which allow the ground to SLOWLY return without the rabbits. The rabbits just speed it up, plus are a boon for business, until it reaches a saturation point@@AniMageNeBy
The $64,000 question. Don't the rabbits eat all the emerging seedlings?
I always thought they did..didn’t Australia have a problem with that?
I'm going to say Yes, yes they did lol.

Of course!!! 🤣🤣🤣✌️🇨🇦
@@faisal-cajust not true AND, seedling are tender morsels.....🤣🤣🤣 This whole thing is hilarious! I thought it was just posted, this April Fool's Day but it's been up awhile.... 🤣🤣🤣
I do not believe rabbits aid in desertification.
In 1859, European rabbits were introduced into the Australian wild so that they could be hunted. Thomas Austin, a wealthy settler who lived in Victoria, Australia, had 13 European wild rabbits sent to him from across the world, which he let roam free on his estate. From this one backyard sanctuary, it took only around 50 years for these invasive (meaning non-native to the land) rabbits to spread across the entire continent.
Their numbers became so large that they destroyed crops and land, leading to soil erosion. They also negatively affected agriculture and plants by overgrazing. Not only did the rabbits wreak havoc on Australian croplands, they contributed to the decline of native plant and animal species and caused widespread growth of deserts
If it will have a bad effect on
CHINAs economy. I dont thik it will be a bad news to the countries it bully
Do your big lizards eat them?
Maybe beavers will work for them. Haha, beavers make dams to hold water. See beaver dam videos.
Australia is good for nothing ...don't take it as an example.
The video mentions the rexhair rabbits are chosen because they eat the plant but couldn't digest its seeds, so the seeds are wrapped in rabbit manure and spread across the desert. The Chinese picked this combination of rabbit and plant with reforestation in mind. Australian settlers made no such calculations when introducing rabbits to Australia.
Anyhow, China is open with visa free travel for many countries. You could check it out with your eyes if it piqued your interest.
But in Australia the rabbits turned farmlands into deserts.
Absolutely remarkable and incredibly innovative
technology, which I am sure will be adaptable
to many desert regions in the world!!! Let’s
hope China’s success with this wonderful
program continues, and is applied in other
desert regions to improve the local
ecosystems and lives of local inhabitants!!!
Thanks for sharing this amazing story with
all of us!!!
toxic green paint and rebar 'plants' its a facade., video already leaked
The proliferation of rabbits in Australia has cost the government and ranchers billions of dollars. This situation remains a primary example of the harm that can result from the introduction of non-native species, no matter how seemingly harmless, into a foreign environment.
The situation is completely different. Rabbits were introduced to Australian ecosystem. Rabbits are already part of Asian ecosystem. Rabbits have predators in Asia. Don't be a fool.
The point is: They need to recover both vegetation AND wild life into the desert. Not only plants, as the animals also helps plants to spread all over the region.
I was actually thinking the same thing because I had seen many videos of the hare problem in Australia. So I searched and found an article about the rabbits in China.
inf.news/en/animal/b188d1612aa7556343418c479854af07.html
I think in Australia, the rabbits were in competition with the domestic cattle and seen only as vermin. In the case of China the rabbits themselves became the product for meat and fur as well as enriching the desert soil through their activity of digging and popping. They don't eat the grass seed so the grass grows back.
The type of rabbit seem to be different as well as the approach.
Not all introduced species are bad. Introduced Tilapia has boosted food security in so many developing countries. Introduced sheep and cattle contributed to over $10 billion in New Zealand's GDP annually, etc.
It’s a different species of rabbit.
The information in the video is incomplete. It needs to be told in three parts to make it clear. The first part should emphasize that this area was originally an oasis, and climate change and long-term human activities have caused desertification in the area. The area is rich in underground water, which is a prerequisite for turning the desert into an oasis.
What I want to make clear in the second part is; first of all, rabbits are not released into the desert, but rabbits are raised on a large scale in indoor cages. Secondly, rabbits with economic value that are suitable for the local climate are raised. Rabbits have different uses for their fur, meat and offal. In particular, rabbit feces spread into the desert can improve the microbial structure of the desert. On this basis, various types of grass seeds suitable for growing in arid environments are sown, coupled with abundant groundwater resources. The desert will gradually recover into an oasis.
The third part needs to be explained: in the original desert environment of this area, few people made a living here. When rabbits with economic value that are suitable for the local climate are raised, they can bring a lot of wealth to the local people, so outsiders continue to come to this place to join in raising such rabbits. So there is a virtuous cycle.
Finally, it should be noted that the number of rabbits to be raised, the amount of groundwater contained, and the type of vegetation to be restored to the desert all require strict scientific planning. To achieve a balance between the three. "Unrestricted raising of rabbits is not allowed. Raising too many rabbits will destroy existing pastures. Tall trees cannot be planted on a large scale, as this will consume too much groundwater resources.
Rabbits in Australia are very successful. 😂
They ate everything, including the bark off bushes and small trees making real desert
The animals are called Rex "Hares" but they are a rabbit and not a true hare. I've kept different breeds of rabbits for 30 years and the Rex is one breed that I wouldn't think would survive in the desert because it's a breed with lots of very thick soft hair and those breeds drink more water than other breeds their size.
I know someone who breeds rex rabbits/hares, they look NOTHING like these at all, these definitely look more like hares than rabbits
@@ABC1701A They are using pics of other rabbits because the people doing th story don't realize the differences. To the educated fools a rabbit is a rabbit.
@@terryjohnson3479 they are showing Rex rabbits - used to have them as pets, lovely fur for clothing which is why these will be hunted by locals as the video points out - AND desert hares which have some things in common with rex, especially when it comes to not digesting seeds and leaving them behind complete with a ball of manure in order to help them survive while their roots grow into the ground. It's being done in other countries just as successfully BUT you need the locals to keep the populations under control which will happen with rex. Their pelts are valuable in the clothing industry and lovely to wear.
My dad would often say give a China man a desert he would turn it into an oasis.
You mean Israel
This must have been before communism.

China isn't planting diverse plants. They put millions of the same tree. If the tree gets an outbreak of a plant disease, then they lose huge amounts of land. Remember the potato famine. Monoculture is vulnerable! They need more varieties of plants.
Dutch Elm disease.
So true
Do you think grow plants in the desert is as easy as in the backyard? China planted trees to control the wind, grow certain weed species to control the moving sand, then use grass to gain moisture, then add diverse plants and animals. I have seen the changes of the some of the desert region in northwest China for the past few decades.
That's just the beginning
At first they used only one tree. It's different now. Also people were getting paid for each tree that they planted so they cut down old growth Forrest to have room to make money by planting saplings. There is more structure and education out there now.
"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Why do you think they want to stop it? Do you really think anyone wants a world they cant control, sell, tax and rule? The very idea of there being enough for everyone prohibits the existence of the ruling elites who have been the concept of rule for thousands of years...make no mistake one way or another what we see now is the changing of an Age. Either extinction or willing change, that is the choice humanity now has.
Carbon release is actually beneficial to the Earth and earthing in it. The entire Climate Change hysteria is a mental disease.

im in disbelief, ask australia about the impact of rabbits on their ecology, vn europe resorted to creating the most hideous biological weapon to eradicate the cute bunnies that were eating their way through european farms
It is all about balance and chinese pay thousands of farmers to reforest. While Au and Eu put profit and short term goals first.
The Chinese choice of vegetation and species / variety of bunny may have played a key role.

When China builds or develop something, they aim sustainability instead of Top Margin as normally pursued in europe. Of course it will be different mindset and different implemenation.
They should do this in Egypt Sudan and Ethiopia
The cute rabbits were once a menace in Australia. But the same rabbits (probably a deviation from the Australian rabbits?) are so helpful to the Chinese. Do the rabbits choose to help China but cause nuisance in Australia?
It simply shows that Chinese research and analysis is both more extensive and intensive than the Aussies... There is no shame in Australia asking the Chinese for assistance and sending a team to China to see how things are done....
Probably have to enclose them in a fence and grow plants that they don't eat. Regenerative agricultural with rabbits
All other continents, When rabbit population increase, eagle, fox, wolf , etc will move in. I think Australia don't have natural predators that can move faster than rabbits. or too many slow animals they can prey on so they leave rabbits alone.
@@timocigaunavinaka3158 Hold on a minute Mr genius,over a hundred years ago who would have known the consequences of introducing rabbits was going to create such a problem.If Chinese were to knew the benefits they would have done it long time ago,not a fair comparison.

Why are the rabbits in Australia be such a problem??? Couldn't they do, like the Chinese did?
Probably the species of rabbit play a role. Here they mentioned Rex Hare from France, where their digestive system can digest the hard seeds of grasses.
In Australia, the rabbits in the wild are different.
Australia control its desert with kangaroos. 😂
The rabbits in Australia are exposed to chemicals and viruses aimed to cull them, but failed. Ended up the newer generations are contaminated with viruses and resistant to the drugs and viruses, making them inedible.
The Chinese on the other hand consumes rabbits on large scale. Places like Chongqing consumes them in large numbers and considered a delicacy over there, with numerous dishes being iconic. So much so they have to resort to importing rabbit meat to meet with ever growing demands
Maybe it's not true.

@@user-qg5vv4iu4p Rabbits can hop, climb, and dig under. Fences are useless. It's a short-sighted measure they may well regret in time. Fortunately, Chinese people's poverty is still pretty high and they will eat just about anything including rabbits. Chinese people hunting and eating rabbit may be the only thing that might keep them in check. Maybe.... as rabbits are prolific breeders and can multiply exponentially.
I don’t see people catching all those wild hares that easy unless there are some secret that I don’t know about. And rabbits will spread and eat anything that isn’t poisonous to them. Good luck but I will believe it when I see it. Another issue that most of the world doesn’t support is replacing native species with non native invasive ones which this seems to possibly be doing.

Question: how about the lack of water? How does the rabbit and plants survive without water?
They eat plants which normally isnt a problem if the temperature isn’t too high or humidity too low. Rabbits also can definitely over heat and stoke out if you don’t take precautions to keep them cool. I’m sure being underground regulates that in most areas, but maybe not all.
During the day it is hot. In a desert it gets very cold at night. Dew forms and coats any grass or small plant. Desert animals come out at sunrise and lick the water off the plants.... they have a feed, then go down their burrow to keep cool, and out of sight of predatory birds like hawks and eagles. They have other predators though. Anything with 4 legs that eats meat likes rabbit. And humans.

Its good to see China doing some good. Not really informed on these rabbits but on the surface, so far it seems like a great idea.
In NZ, European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were introduced in the 19th century. And Hares too. Both love the dry climate. NZ has 2 provinces that are dry areas (mainly Otago and Canterbury). The rabbits devastated farm land, to the extent that large farms were abandoned. Whole hillsides were seen 'moving', due the amount of rabbits on the hills. They love crappy vegetation to graze on. If you plant anything, say grape vines or some other productive crop, they will 'ring bark' the plants.
They don't really like green grass, but anything tough or dryish, they like it.
I hope the French rabbits help the Chinese with this problem.... but I'm scratching my head over this one. Yes they do like harsh climates, dig holes and shit everywhere..... but they eat a lot, and if the population explodes, there will be nothing. I don't know if they are Rex type, but in NZ, the type is specified in Latin so that there is no mistake. I understand but cannot confirm that the Aussie rabbit is the same as the NZ feral rabbit. These are not pet rabbits or the fancy ones in competitions.
This is the country that forced farmers to artificial arable land such as desert and steep hills. Planted thousands of trees made from rebar and spray painted the hills green. The ideas are interesting but I never trust the results. 😊
The information in the video is incomplete. It needs to be told in three parts to make it clear. The first part should emphasize that this area was originally an oasis, and climate change and long-term human activities have caused desertification in the area. The area is rich in underground water, which is a prerequisite for turning the desert into an oasis.
What I want to make clear in the second part is; first of all, rabbits are not released into the desert, but rabbits are raised on a large scale in indoor cages. Secondly, rabbits with economic value that are suitable for the local climate are raised. Rabbits have different uses for their fur, meat and offal. In particular, rabbit feces spread into the desert can improve the microbial structure of the desert. On this basis, various types of grass seeds suitable for growing in arid environments are sown, coupled with abundant groundwater resources. The desert will gradually recover into an oasis.
The third part needs to be explained: in the original desert environment of this area, few people made a living here. When rabbits with economic value that are suitable for the local climate are raised, they can bring a lot of wealth to the local people, so outsiders continue to come to this place to join in raising such rabbits. So there is a virtuous cycle.
Finally, it should be noted that the number of rabbits to be raised, the amount of groundwater contained, and the type of vegetation to be restored to the desert all require strict scientific planning. To achieve a balance between the three. "Unrestricted raising of rabbits is not allowed. Raising too many rabbits will destroy existing pastures. Tall trees cannot be planted on a large scale, as this will consume too much groundwater resources.
having seen the damage rabbits do, I find difficult that they can be a benefit in a projects like this, they eat any saplings of any type of plant so it is very difficult to have new plants if rabbit population is big.
The same country that paints trees green
To all of those idiots talking about Australia, rabbits were introduced into the most fertile areas. That experience was fundamentally different.
Ah the dreams , turning water into wine, lead into gold, desert into oasis, billionaires into socialists etc.....
Fantastic!!!! I mean absolute fantasy. Do they intend to bring in foxes and fox hounds to create new cultural events for tourists? The Gobi desert has a very harsh climate and its nomadic inhabitants depend principally on the extensive grazing of camels, goats and sheep. The desertification problem is very serious and impressive efforts are being made to reduce its spread. However successful solutions generally require working closely with the local population, adapting their pastoral practices and local scrub and grass species. I don’t think that a ‘No Bugs Bunny’ quite fits the bill!
its green paint and rebar, video already came out..

@@bwjia9929 its all fake. they sray painted the soil with green paint for miles and stuck rebar in the ground with stones on top to appear to be plants, the video of them doing it is here on youtube already !
Incredible China.
It had become desert because lacking of water in the first place. Then where do Chinese find water to maintain the greenery for a large area?
actually most desert form from erosion, the water and nutrient sinks into the deep ground and doesn't resurface, making the surface dry and stale, if you go to Iran or Xinjiang, you will see ancient water tunnel dug on the people to get the water back to the surface, it amazing how long ago people figure out the water table. as to how they fought the desert now, is they lay dried straw grass in a grid, almost like laying rebar in concrete, it stop the sand from erosing and slowly the ground will be stable enough for plant grow again. this change is visible enough that NASA detected it from space. giving us a very interesting data for study.
China also develop a sand mixture which is impermeable to water. they would dig a hole, put the mixture, than plant the tree (this used to be done with plastic). if you can keep the water from sinking into the ground where the trees can't reach, the trees can actually survive with little rain...
of course there are also canal system build to transfer water around in China, China has build water canal for over 2600 years. on of the more radical suggestion is to engineer a salt lake in the desert by pumping seawater, the seawater will evapourate, leaving salt that could be harvested, while the rain will carry fresh water to the rest of the desert... truly only something a country that build the great wall would think of doing... xD
YUP
Not only without bad management in the past like overgrazing and timber exploitation for combustion and so on it was savannah
Rabbits overran Australia and is today an ecological disaster.
As long as there are edible plants and animals, artificial breeding is needed in China to barely meet the demand
Okay so this is where our water is going to
I hear these rabbits also run state of the art chip facilities underground in their burrows with AGI powered by fully functioning quantum computers.
Truly a marvel!
Isn't it incredible that rabbit which is a source of protein for the rest of the world, it is a pest in the land DownUnder...
And in UK.
Similar projects are being done in Africa - not using rabbits though - but very successful..
The first content about desert reforestation that integrates fauna into the scheme. Congratulations for setting a trend that should become a standard procedure.
They have to introduce the kangaroo
Look at what they have done to Australia. They breed very quickly and overpower local animal life in Australia. Granted there are no significant animal life in deserts, but lets hope it does not take place in China.
Maybe they have already prepared a solution. If they think the numbers are excessive then the Chinese government just needs to bring in foxes, eagles or other predatory animals to control them 😂
@@agusedyanto3324 wouldn't that be simply importing other non-indigenous animals which may themselves also breed out of control and even while addressing the rabbit problem, exacerbate the overall situation?
Chinese govt is holding down local population from eating all the rabbits. So dont worry about overpopulation of rabbit
@@sherwoodang58 I hope you all are right. Let's see.
How did they feed the rabbits at the beginning phase?
Won't be long and we will have to deal with the "rabbit flu".
Indeed great topig to cover.
This was described in the 1956 'future of arid lands' book. so we are talking about more than a few years for an extremely reduced result
❤❤❤ China ❤❤
Learn from Australia.
Rabbits become pest..buffaloes become pest...horses become pest..camels become pest etc
What about humans?
That's why they have to end up on a plate to control them.
@@jim9930 So what's your point? China has more population than Europe? That I agree with.
Jai Hinduja, In the natural scheme of things, we Human are the real pests.
Australia needs to raise lions and tigers. These are the animals which are absent in Australia (except in the zoos). Lions and tigers will put rabbits, kangaroos, buffaloes, horses, camels, and HUMAN populations under control.
The Aussies would have given them the rabbits.
Yes, it is unbelievable. I spend a portion of my time controlling rabbits on my farm, as they are not beneficial to my endeavours.
I also pronounce content and content the same - clearly trustworthy source 😂
If only the Australians had followed this example of dealing with their rabbits, silly Australians.
Jai Hinduja. Australian rabbits are actually hares, I had tried the meat at a friend's place before but compared to chicken meat, I found the meat tougher and more smelly.
@@chaz4609 Oz rabbits are NOT hares, they were originally imported from England, where they are a pest, There may be some hares as well, but the Wedgetailed eagles take care of them, but there are not enough Wedgetails to take care of the rabbits. Rabbits are good to eat, but Oz aso has plagues of mice, kangaroos and camels.
@@bernardedwards8461 and now a peaceful ''religion''
Ummm, the Chinese haven't done it yet...... but they are looking at it or experimenting with it. Lets see if they have thriving living areas in 20 years.
Awesome! Go China...
A lot of people start yakking away without finding out more. Most of these so called desert farms are really in areas which is fully capable of supporting vegetation. These projects are to really to stop desertification and to help local farmers make some money out of it. There are videos of these small as well as large farms if you care to look. Rabbits are cheap to rear and the meat is good. There has also been some rerouting of rivers in China, some of which are major projects.
It's very easy to turn a desert green. All you need is water, lots of water. The question is where are you going to get the water from? China is already facing severe water shortage. If they can't solve the water shortage problem, how can they turn the desert green?
Water doesn't turn a desert green, aforestation does. You should do some research on how trees retain water and facilitate increased rainfall.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 why?? u ask that question to china dude😂😂😂😂😂they r build different

The British wild rabbit is the same as the French rabbit and is regarded as a pest both here and in Australia because of the damage it does to crops but maybe your rabbit is a domesticated variety. It will still damage crops if there are any. Introduced animals often become pests, as Australia has found to its cost.
That European wild rabbit is what domestic rabbits were bred from
It’s my understanding that these rabbits are more useful at the beginning of the de-desertification process.
Once soil quality improves enough to support crops it may be that the rabbits need to be relocated or very tightly controlled.
@@LifeIsThePrayer Relocated into pies!
@@LifeIsThePrayer.... unless you have them on a leash, they will be feral rabbits, and despite over a hundred years of rabbit 'control' in Australia and NZ, there are millions of them. Once out of the box, you have lost control of them forever.
"Today, I'm hunting wabbits!" 😀
It seems we found the wabbit hide out we eating good tonight Elmer
Rabbits digging up plant roots is something of a downer for greening the desert. I wonder if there is any actual data behind this? I'll wait....
Check and see if the land was painted green color?
I am skeptical when it comes to "Chinees miracles." Usually, they turn out to be some scams.
JEALOUSY turn you blind.
Hahaha
green paint and rebar 'plants" saw the video already..
absolutrly
或许你可以查看下维基百科和谷歌地球
Maybe the rabbits won't eat the crop because the crop is not worth eating!
This forest technique used in great sahara desert and Kalahari desert in Africa, also Middle east central and south Asia Australia emergency basis.
Water for the rabbits????
All animals with the possible exception of the Oryx must have water, but some can exist on very little.
The term rabbit starvation originates from the fact that rabbit meat is very low in fat, with almost all of its caloric content from the amino acids digested out of skeletal muscle protein, and therefore is a food which, if consumed exclusively, would cause protein poisoning.
Wait till they find out what Australia found out when they introduced rabits.
As long as there are edible plants and animals, artificial breeding is needed in China to barely meet the demand
This is a very good idea to restore the balance in nature. 👍
Asia Hot Topic??? or Hot Topics??? 😂😂😂
It's Asia Hot "Topigs" for now! Lol
This is so beautiful seen reality in the making,love to Chinese scientist ❤❤❤
I'm sorry, man, but I have trouble buying this. Especially since I've seen the Chinese government spray painting the dirt green in the desert. Lately there has only been one thing that I have seen China do well, and that was that apartment complex called the "'Tian'an 1000 trees" in Shanghai, which did blow my mind a bit. Aside from that almost everything they do turns to dust, metaphorically speaking of course.
Gobi desert ive been there when it was a desert back in 1996 . Now its all greener.
One of the best China project brought to fruition. Amazing video!
its not at fruition... they are still talking, experimenting and debating it. They still have a bloody big desert. They are trying to get plants going by changing the climate there.. To make large forested areas, which attract rain.. They are no-where close yet.
China eats any moving animals. They are creative and inventive. They will survive in this over populated world. China will never go hungry.
WE also eat LOTS of veggie - important for survival.
(With good leadership, China won't starve.)
The video is a joke . I suppose the rabbits line up to buy bottled water at the supermarkets
Solve the puzzle how do you think it's done ?
I am sure they created a water infrastructure before introducing rabbits in there .
@@HELLWARS101That my friend is the question HOW TO DO THAT IN THE DESERT It will be harder than what the rabbit is suppose to do !
Always an American expert
No you're joke 😂😂😂
If this method is so good in China, why hasn't it been tried in other desert environments, such as Australia, the Sahara, S. America etc. If it has been tried, what were the results?
The GCC countries in the Middle East, will benefit from this
Great China 🇨🇳 ever great ❤
china rocks👌👌
Gud work done by China
What a sweet story but sadly I cant see reality in it. What did all the 1.2 mio rabbits eat in the desert? Rabbits made holes and poop but what will do that without insane masses of good water? Where this good water is coming from? Because right now China made more then 75% of there groundwater so toxic that its not to drink, not to clean and not to grow plants to eat!! Every nation should learn from that and use there own resources very carefull - witch is so important for there next generations.
