China recently completed a 3,046-kilometer green barrier around the Taklimakan Desert, aiming to combat desertification through the cultivation of drought-resistant plants.
Covering 337,000 square kilometers, Taklimakan in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is China’s largest desert and dubbed the “Sea of Death.”
China built 2,761-kilometers of the green barrier on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert by the end of 2023 through innovative methods such as grass grids, photovoltaic power stations and windbreak forests.
