Hàn Quốc đã biến một con sông "chết" từng là thảm họa đô thị thành danh thắng quốc gia nhờ kết hợp công nghệ và thiên nhiên. Thành công này không chỉ đến từ việc nạo vét hay trồng cây mà còn nhờ cách tiếp cận toàn diện, biến không gian ô nhiễm thành nơi nghỉ ngơi, sinh hoạt cộng đồng. 🌿🇰🇷 #MôiTrường #PhụcHồiSông #HànQuốc #ThiênNhiên #UrbanRenewal #EnvironmentalRestoration #SôngSuối #CôngNghệXanh

In the late 20th century, China’s Loess Plateau, the world’s most eroded region, faced severe soil degradation. The “Grain for Green” program, launched in 1999, restored the plateau by converting farmland to forests and grasslands. This initiative revitalized the environment and improved local livelihoods.

"Estuary is a fancy word for swamp.”

It's hard to formulate a charitable reply to something so closely resembling performative ignorance..

Meanwhile, it was an estuary for perhaps 10,000 years, an impoundment for ~70 years. What's "normal" here?

Also the lunacy of perpetually trapping infinite sediment and paying to remove it. Etc., etc.

There's no real complication except mulish human nature. Which is indeed real.
