Often when we try to forcefully turn a wasteland green it won't last. But this place seems to be actually thriving. I wish we can terraform every place on earth at will and get rid of hunger/poverty. Because let's be honest, the soil/climate/location of a place has too much say in a country's fate.
It’s probably because we dont understand perfectly what makes an ecosystem thrive. But as we approach better understanding of the world, we can start to help speed up things like the reclamation of dead areas, which usually takes up to thousands of years of just life building on top of itself.

More to do with the money. A long term project like this produces little to none short term profit. Large corporations are not doing it if there is no money to make. Non profit organizations lack the resources to do something at this scale. Theoretically, governments are responsible for this kind of long term projects with higher social benefits.

I don’t think it’s right to say that about Greta thunberg, nor the Eco friendly commissions that her and her group represent. They do what they do to raise awareness. That raises funding. And allows projects like this to happen.
These kind of reforestation projects are happening nationwide. My aunt lives in a city in central China where the government is trying to demolish high-density, poorly constructed housing in her neighbourhood in order to reforest the area. She and a group of neighbours are litigating against the government to get better compensation. I think once they agree on a fair price my aunt will probably move out.
@ช่องน้องจิมมี่ Well I think they don't have a choice. Air pollution is extremely serious there, to the point that some people emigrate just because of it. I worked there too and it was all fine but I had to return to Canada because I was so sick all the time (granted I am immunocompromised and didn't know so I was more vulnerable). It's not just due to peer pressure from abroad. All around, increasing green areas should be top priority in China.
While there is no doubt this is a wonderful achievement. It’s important to note that it takes a lot more than trees to be forest. It’ll be centuries before the intricacies of complex interconnections and synergies between all organisms (fungi, bacteria, moss, herbs, grasses, sedges, liverworts, lichens, invertebrates, vertebrates, etc etc etc) that are characteristic of forests establish.
Nature is more versatile and adaptable than you might think. It'll take years, perhaps decades, certainly not centuries, for the ecosystem to flourish.
@@goonhoongtatt1883 Could be. It would depend upon the ecosystem and levels of productivity I guess. I'd still say at least 100 years. Speaking from the Pacific Northwest of North America, I know the mature forests here took thousands of years to reach the level of complexity found within primary growth... and we have some of the most productive forests in the world.
By giving nature a helping hand, the process can be accelerated. When I moved into my house 10 years ago, I only had sand in my garden, Today it is lush and luxuriant because I gave nature a helping hand by asking my local tree lopper to dump truckloads of mulch over the years. It does not take centuries. It is faster than you think.
Nice comment.But as a Chinese who's hometown is near saihanba,I can tell you that there's already many mushrooms growing in the area,and many disappeared animals have came back such as fox and wolf herds have come back recent years.There's not only one kind of tree is planted during the project,and saihanba was basically forest before it was destroyed by many forces.The people who plant trees fixed the sand so this helped nature to reclaim the land.

Have u all seen a video by France 24 titled *'China’s 'Great Green Wall’: The farmers planting trees to hold back the desert'* ? All of China's positive achivements always considered as pr0paganda by wstern mdia.
China is always a successful country. It's ancient inventions (Papermaking, printing, gunpowder and the compass) is still effective in modern times. The once and the future superpower, China has done a lot in the last 40 years. 70 years ago in 1950 when China was a poor war torn country and had gone through so much problems like Chinese famine, Cultural revolution etc. till 1980 and now has become a world power in just 3 decades. Improvement in science and technology, environment and safety, military and economy, jobs and opportunities etc. will make it surely one of the superpowers in the world. But as the Chinese themselves say it: "We have a lot to improve" just shows how positive their mindset and attitude is! Though they criticize India and always look down upon us, I still have respect for China for what they have achieved! Respect from India 👍🇮🇳

@@AdityaSingh-ou4my no, I'm just a human being who cares about nature.
what an achievement, really proud of what these people created
While others are obsessed in finding wrong in China they are building a sustainable environment
China is always a successful country. It's ancient inventions (Papermaking, printing, gunpowder and the compass) is still effective in modern times. The once and the future superpower, China has done a lot in the last 40 years. 70 years ago in 1950 when China was a poor war torn country and had gone through so much problems like Chinese famine, Cultural revolution etc. till 1980 and now has become a world power in just 3 decades. Improvement in science and technology, environment and safety, military and economy, jobs and opportunities etc. will make it surely one of the superpowers in the world. But as the Chinese themselves say it: "We have a lot to improve" just shows how positive their mindset and attitude is! Though they criticize India and always look down upon us, I still have respect for China for what they have achieved! Respect from India 👍🇮🇳
Everyone should plant, not only China
Сахару.
That is amazing China is doing well
China: Transform barren land into man-made forest.
US: Transform forest into man-made barren land.

literally the rest of the world does the same thing, not just US
That too by killing and eradicating the natives of the land
US literally has large barren lands that they could turn into forests
@@QuestionableAdviser_ They lack intentions
Wow.. 3 generations of tree planters.. for the well being of the next generation.. wow..
Started since 1962 !
It's almost 60 years of persistent efforts.
Well done!
Should invite Greta Thunberg to see for herself who's actually caring for the earth.
She is busy doing blah blah blah.
This is the cognitive dissonance of media. The existence of this forest should be headline all over the world
True this a green lung forest but beijing still got that cancer lung air that straight up gives its citizens cancer.
@@Fenixmaian7 the forest is not the cure all but in terms of size, it's spectacular and it shows we can do it in other countries too if theres a will. In times like this, any hope is better than no hope given there's so much bad news about the environment
Greta's job is to fear monger and a mouth piece for guilt tripping, not spreading hope
Unbelievable! Great job! The world should follow this to stop desertification.
Love this! Can't we all just get along and live in harmony.
Not while China still exists
@Kaichou America doesn't eat dog meat, also America hasn't F'ed the world up for the past 3 years.
@@Mr_Rave_UK first not only china eats dog but other asian countries do, so you're just being racist. And second America's hands aren't clean either dumbfucc
@@lncafein the dog thing was a joke 😅😂 now who's the dumbf*** 😅

WOW!! Kudos to the hardworking generations of people toiling and tilling the land. Fantastic achievement.
I got the opportunity to live in Beijing for three months before 2019. I would love to go back to this wonderful country any day. Can never get enough of China. 🇨🇳 ❤

We should learn many things from China, to be honest.
