Fascination video - I like as well that this video does not tear down China. In a positive way WREN discusses the issues and offers solutions, and many perspectives.
Monoculture is a necessity here. You can't put trees in the desert, you need an ecosystem there, to achieve that they make 3 Phase plan. In phase 1 they are placing a type of tree that can sustain the desert heat and these trees will reduce the temperate and make the area suitable for other types of trees. This will also increase the rain and slowly the ecosystem will develop after that Phase 2 will start when more diverse places can be placed. These new plants eventually overtake the forest and slowly find their balance based on their environment.

The same thing is happening at the border of the Sahel, with worse results. It is a very difficult problem. The people who live in those areas are usually the poorer lesser educated... And we expect them to understand what they are doing with no immediate benefit for them.
Generally, they perfectly understand where the problem stand for. But, they are forced to overexploit their environnement. It's either overexploitation or death by strarvation. The choice is easy.
Apparently only 20% of the planted trees survived because they basically gave no thought to planting biodiverse fauna or plants that are acclimated for the areas they were planted in…Just planting trees can help delay the inevitable but it doesn’t change the underlying conditions that cause desertification in the first place. Basically they will need to be planting trees around the clock forever. I’m more interested in their south to north water transfer project honestly.

This is really how you save the environment, by planting trees and undoing desertification, not by micromanaging the lives of business owners and regular people.
It seems to me that the following approach should work guaranteed well: 1. A bamboo farm is established nearby (it has 0.9 m/day growth rate); 2. These cheap anti-insect-treated 10-30 m high bamboo piles are dug regularly and a film is stretched over them, reducing the water evaporation by 10-20 times; trees are planted between the piles; 3. If the soil is sandy or non-fertile, or it is a steppe-like soil (meaning that only its upper layer can hold water, which is enough for grass, but not trees), then solved cellulose is added to the soil; 4. Water pipes are added for continuous watering.
@@uhhhfrick9767 please re-read my comment: I say that soil gets turned into fertile soil, meaning that it doesn’t lose water downwards; also the film above prevents losing of water upwards, and of course they must have some minimal supply of water beforehand (take from below or from a desalination plant on the ocean etc); the cost of dissolved cellulose for 1 m2 in 2010 in China was 0.6 USD, i.e. 6000 $/ha, which little money.
@@答应我别做舔狗了好吗 bamboo grown in a greenhouse (with near 100% humidity) requires 20 times less water, and it grows fast all year long, not just 3 months as in nature, I believe.
@@uhhhfrick9767 There is a little misunderstanding. I don’t suggest fertilising all the desert in a year, but rather by small chunks during maybe 100 years. A chunk of Gobi enough to settle 1-10 million people per year. Let’s not forget that a 1 ha greenhouse in the neighbouring Tajikistan, produces a $1 million value of strawberries (just for example), so that it’s possible to build 0.1-1 mln hectares of new greenhouses in Gobi each year, producing $0.1-1 trillions of crops annually. Ok, maybe it’ll be just 1/5 of it in a mega project like this due to the future drop in world crop prices, but it is still very lucrative.

Hard to say what went into the decision making - but weeds and other "pioneer plants" (or so) are named after their ability to grow where nothing else can thrive AND to build the groundwork for less hardy plants. Trees might look better or whatever - but especially as they use monocultures, those are at extreme risks of failing even if the trees manage to otherwise deal with the environment.

It would be interesting to see if the sheep were helping spread seeds and firtiliser and help with the right management like it does in other places in the world ?
If properly managed livestock can be used to combat desertification. Overgrazing has to be prevented. The sheep or any other animals have to rotate between areas so that areas have time to regrow. When the animals trample on plants they also create conditions in which those plant remains don't oxidize but actually rot/get decomposed by some fungus which is an important process. The piss and shit fertilizes the areas. Really, livestock has a bad rep because historically many farmers have not cared at all for sustainability. But there's a reason why Africa alone sustainably housed over a billion large, ruminant animals while it was mostly green and fertile. Way back before homo sapiens evolved. And they didn't have a deleterious effect on the climate/environment. A little bit over a billion would be the sum of all cows that are today kept as livestock - worldwide. And out of all agricultural practices they are singled out to be the biggest problem for the climate.
Sheep can. Their fluffy wool can help disperse seeds. And they don't eat the roots of the grass, which can be left behind to recover the next year. Not so with goats, which originate from ecologically hostile mountainous areas and habitually eat even grass roots to survive, leading to ecological disaster.
Not the most updated info I'm afraid. New technology and machines have been deployed in cultivating trees. You can check out the many videos capturing the most updated situation. There has been good news.
YUP, i can prove that. i have been living in Beijing for 20 years.20 years ago Beijing only have 1-2 normal rain and 10-20 sand storm per year. right now Beijing has no sand storm, and you recently heard Beijing was flooded.
Dump green waste from homes factories and farms in the desert and then you have different soil make ups instead of just sand this way ground can hold some moisture with the help of shade.
one way to find the best thing to grow is to gather seeds from stuff that has been successful over the long run. nature does not do gmo or monoculture, so.
A China tem muitas referências na área de agricultura, já vi muitos vídeos exibindo explosões de produtividade, mas nesse processo de reverter a desertificação, algo soa estranho. Os lugares bonitos aparecem repletos de neblina, pinturas de verde são flagradas, vegetações próprias de clima desértico não são citadas. Existem algumas árvores que merecem uma experiência: algaroba, neem e aposto que nesses desertos podem ser encontrado boas opções.
My geography teacher told me a really interesting thing. You don't get rid of a desert by planting trees. You solve it by restoring the ecosystem. But the movement is also extremly cool.
But to initiate a restoration of ecosystem, you need plant trees at the peripheral areas around the desert to attract in insects birds animal. I think what ur teacher meant was that you can't plant trees at the center of the desert, which is unsustainable.
What does your teacher know that the chinese scientists does not know, they who have been doing theoretical studies, conducting research and actually applied them for decades and gained much knowledge.
In austria some farmers plant nut trees get money over 10 years and then replace the trees with new ones to get money again its just dumb, i know the goverments mean to do good but they dont think this things throu
lol. This video is telling the opposite of what's happening. The chinese are slowly but surely winning in the battle of reforesting, turning into grassland deserts of shifting sand. In the past four decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desertification have been reversed, and more than 10 million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. One desert, Maowusu, even vanished from the map. They have succesfully reforested desertlands of an area bigger than New mexico (the 5th biggest state). Even NASA begrudgingly admitted from their satellites that the greening of China is increasing.
I can imagine an army of AI-controlled drones covering vast distances dropping seedlings from high enough that they self-bury in the soil...maybe around the wet season. It could make planting millions of acres essentially free except for the seedlings. Same thing with subsequent watering.
We have tried what the Chinese are doing in Denmark. And it went wrong. The Chinese are doing something that will end in a disaster. Among other things, there is a lack of soil animals. So the whole forest withers and burns.
Turn those dead trees into biochar and put the biochar back onto the live trees. Saying that herding animals cause desertification is not such a simple thing. This researcher has done a lot of work on this subject over many decades and caused huge problems thinking that herding animals cause desertification. They killed 40,000 elephants because of him and the desertification sped up and did not reverse. Here is his video: th-cam.com/video/vpTHi7O66pI/w-d-xo.html
Lots of good reliable youtubers show how china paints grass/mountains/cliffs, or puts grass nets over large areas, and even attaches fake plastic branches to trees in urban areas. All to make things look more environment-friendly
this is not just the 1st ecologycal battle... before that there was a project call 南水北调, similar project was done also by ancient Chinese civilization.
This is a good start, but the information in this video is too old. One year in China is equal to 20 years in the US, and you are quoting data from the early 2000s. Now China has turned hundreds of thousands of acres into forest and grasslands. It's not true the trees are uni-species and non-native. Maybe in the early days, definitely not now.
From videos that I saw, China is using in many places only one type of plants, that will never work. You have to diversify it. It will open the way for animals and other plants, but without diversification its doomed.
"The extra wood were used to power steel furnces that were key to the country's industrialization" ... Absolutely false. The backyard furnaces built during the great leap forward produced mainly pig iron that was practically useless (and led to the great famine). And coal used in the later industrialization (1979 onward) was mineral, not vegetal.
"cHiNa nEeDs tO tAkE cArE oF thE TrEes" They've been doing this for 70 years. Leading PhDs in forest engineering are directing this. But tell us more, random youtuber.
The portrayal of Chinese policy as "top-down approach" at 5:27 is flawed when you literally provided counterexample 20 seconds earlier at 5:07 of a failed regional policy. As oversea Chinese, I can tell you the western perception that China is top-down is flawed. There is significant autonomy at lower-levels. So much so that for some policies, you hear "X model" "Y model" where X/Y are some early successful implementation region's name.
Mao's furnaces were not 'key to China's industrialization', they were key to Mao's policy for industrialization. Mao's policy was a monumental disaster and China industrialized later, in spite of Mao's crackpot policy.
The planting up of any desert using monoculture works against nature!! To work with nature studies should be made to understand how to recreate Saudi Arabias ecosystem, to the best of one ability supporting what it onece was, by planting a diverse range of trees species, supporting all desert species of animals grat and small the way nature intended, because we are not only looking after the planet for ourselves we must look after our wildlife too** They also play a major part in our would, and it's salf sustainably**
This is somewhat not true. There are thousands of videos showcasing how China just paint sprays the deserts/mountains/grass/etc to green, or puts plastic green nets over large desert fields, or even attaches plastic branches to trees. All of this to make their stuff look greener from afar China lies about a lot of stuff. Ask anyone whose been there

Not the most updated info I'm afraid. New technology and machines have been deployed in cultivating trees. You can check out the many videos capturing the most updated situation. There has been good news.
YUP, i can prove that. i have been living in Beijing for 20 years.20 years ago Beijing only have 1-2 normal rain and 10-20 sand storm per year. right now Beijing has no sand storm, and you recently heard Beijing was flooded.
Lol doesn’t stop the mountains lol. Don’t forget the north has no water. This is biggest thing u missed, water in the north!!!!!!
Dump green waste from homes factories and farms in the desert and then you have different soil make ups instead of just sand this way ground can hold some moisture with the help of shade.
one way to find the best thing to grow is to gather seeds from stuff that has been successful over the long run. nature does not do gmo or monoculture, so.
C02 rise helped with reclaiming deserts due more C02 less water plants need also high temperature tolerance also increase.
Is it... by painting it green ?
As a Renn.. I felt i had to subscribe. :p
I wonder if they have consider's Icelands Lupine method
Paint is more effective.
A China tem muitas referências na área de agricultura, já vi muitos vídeos exibindo explosões de produtividade, mas nesse processo de reverter a desertificação, algo soa estranho.
Os lugares bonitos aparecem repletos de neblina, pinturas de verde são flagradas, vegetações próprias de clima desértico não são citadas.
Existem algumas árvores que merecem uma experiência: algaroba, neem e aposto que nesses desertos podem ser encontrado boas opções.
其实是有的，例如胡杨树等。你看到的这些植物都是中国本土的沙漠气候植物或者经过特殊培育可以在沙漠生长的植物
Literally paint it green or roll massive green tarps over it.
My geography teacher told me a really interesting thing. You don't get rid of a desert by planting trees. You solve it by restoring the ecosystem. But the movement is also extremly cool.
But to initiate a restoration of ecosystem, you need plant trees at the peripheral areas around the desert to attract in insects birds animal. I think what ur teacher meant was that you can't plant trees at the center of the desert, which is unsustainable.
What does your teacher know that the chinese scientists does not know, they who have been doing theoretical studies, conducting research and actually applied them for decades and gained much knowledge.
yeah didnt they plant a single tree species, just to have a termite or beetle infestation kill all those planted trees?
How to restore ecosystems? Restoring plants is the first step
@@Harsh-tf9hethe lessons been learned and it’s gotten a lot better
In austria some farmers plant nut trees get money over 10 years and then replace the trees with new ones to get money again its just dumb, i know the goverments mean to do good but they dont think this things throu
Thank you
lol. This video is telling the opposite of what's happening. The chinese are slowly but surely winning in the battle of reforesting, turning into grassland deserts of shifting sand.
In the past four decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desertification have been reversed, and more than 10 million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. One desert, Maowusu, even vanished from the map.
They have succesfully reforested desertlands of an area bigger than New mexico (the 5th biggest state). Even NASA begrudgingly admitted from their satellites that the greening of China is increasing.
they can use the sheep to make land fertile if they learn about Allan Savory teachings.
i'm not entirely convinced.
if local tree dies, how come foreign tree survive.
Meanwhile in Brazil: let's burn down our giant ecosystem for short-term profit, what can go wrong😅
I can imagine an army of AI-controlled drones covering vast distances dropping seedlings from high enough that they self-bury in the soil...maybe around the wet season. It could make planting millions of acres essentially free except for the seedlings. Same thing with subsequent watering.
We have tried what the Chinese are doing in Denmark. And it went wrong. The Chinese are doing something that will end in a disaster. Among other things, there is a lack of soil animals. So the whole forest withers and burns.
Is Wren supporting the chinese greening the desert project?
Chinese have always been about quantity, never about the quality
Paki
They also paint trees and cliffs with green paint.
A person who only slanders others on the Internet, what you need is a psychiatrist, your personality is dark
There are really fools who believe that the desert can be sprayed green. The education level is only a high school graduate.🤣🤣
plant trees make it rain (i forgot how but something about salt or something releasing it in to the clouds os something i forgot)
I Love how Americans are so pessimistic on other nation's work lol
Turn those dead trees into biochar and put the biochar back onto the live trees.
Saying that herding animals cause desertification is not such a simple thing. This researcher has done a lot of work on this subject over many decades and caused huge problems thinking that herding animals cause desertification. They killed 40,000 elephants because of him and the desertification sped up and did not reverse. Here is his video: th-cam.com/video/vpTHi7O66pI/w-d-xo.html
Anti China haters saying this is fake. They said that China painted the forest/mountains green. Lol
Lots of good reliable youtubers show how china paints grass/mountains/cliffs, or puts grass nets over large areas, and even attaches fake plastic branches to trees in urban areas. All to make things look more environment-friendly
They do paint mountain green though 😂
this is not just the 1st ecologycal battle... before that there was a project call 南水北调, similar project was done also by ancient Chinese civilization.
This is a good start, but the information in this video is too old. One year in China is equal to 20 years in the US, and you are quoting data from the early 2000s. Now China has turned hundreds of thousands of acres into forest and grasslands. It's not true the trees are uni-species and non-native. Maybe in the early days, definitely not now.
From videos that I saw, China is using in many places only one type of plants, that will never work. You have to diversify it. It will open the way for animals and other plants, but without diversification its doomed.
😂我们尝试了70年，知道什么是可行的方案。对了，今年我们在新疆和河南等内陆地区养殖了海鲜，你可搜索来研究下。
"The extra wood were used to power steel furnces that were key to the country's industrialization" ... Absolutely false. The backyard furnaces built during the great leap forward produced mainly pig iron that was practically useless (and led to the great famine). And coal used in the later industrialization (1979 onward) was mineral, not vegetal.
Why they don't just plant fast growing bamboo
I wonder how did you make possible using those video footages
Good job China!!! However, I think you have to start with grass first and restore the water table.
It's easy when you paint the ground green😂
Well green spray paint does make the land looks green
New fan fr
Nice video
Mostly they use green paint.
trial and error is the best way of learning and to succeed.
Except that China is also spray painting their land & using plastic plants. As seen on another youtube videos.
"cHiNa nEeDs tO tAkE cArE oF thE TrEes"
They've been doing this for 70 years. Leading PhDs in forest engineering are directing this.
But tell us more, random youtuber.
you need to improve on your audio quality.
Ahh Texas, the most popular unit aside from Poland.
0:10 Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system 😭
let them be..
Why don't they plant cacti?
They're dumb
The portrayal of Chinese policy as "top-down approach" at 5:27 is flawed when you literally provided counterexample 20 seconds earlier at 5:07 of a failed regional policy.
As oversea Chinese, I can tell you the western perception that China is top-down is flawed. There is significant autonomy at lower-levels. So much so that for some policies, you hear "X model" "Y model" where X/Y are some early successful implementation region's name.
Mao's furnaces were not 'key to China's industrialization', they were key to Mao's policy for industrialization. Mao's policy was a monumental disaster and China industrialized later, in spite of Mao's crackpot policy.
The planting up of any desert using monoculture works against nature!!
To work with nature studies should be made to understand how to recreate Saudi Arabias ecosystem, to the best of one ability supporting what it onece was, by planting a diverse range of trees species, supporting all desert species of animals grat and small the way nature intended, because we are not only looking after the planet for ourselves we must look after our wildlife too**
They also play a major part in our would, and it's salf sustainably**
Tame trees?
*3:50** "Encouraged"*
This is somewhat not true. There are thousands of videos showcasing how China just paint sprays the deserts/mountains/grass/etc to green, or puts plastic green nets over large desert fields, or even attaches plastic branches to trees. All of this to make their stuff look greener from afar
China lies about a lot of stuff. Ask anyone whose been there
