China's 3,046-Kilometer "Great Green Wall" Has Transformed Its Largest Desert Into A Carbon Sink

#China has a new #GreatWall but this one isn't built of stone and mortar to repel marauding invaders from the north. Instead, the “Great Green Wall” is a vast belt of #trees and #shrubs lining the bottom of its northern deserts, designed to halt the steady creep of #desertification. New research suggests this massive megaproject is already functioning as a vital #CarbonSink, helping to stabilize the local #environment.

Located in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the #TaklamakanDesert is one of the driest places on Earth and the largest #desert in the country. It’s sometimes called the “Sea of Death” and “The Place of No Return” because of its desolate landscape, defined by towering dunes and a scarcity of #wildlife
