A rare desert birch species in Xinjiang, once numbering only around 300 plants, has seen its population grow to over 24,000 thanks to over two decades of dedicated conservation efforts, including grazing bans and habitat protection. The discovery and recovery of the Ebinur Birch, an "ecological umbrella" species, highlights the success of regional ecological governance in stabilizing fragile desert ecosystems. 🌳#EbinurBirchMakesComeback#🌱#DesertGuardianThrivesUnderProtection#🏜️#XinjiangConservat
