China is one of the countries worst affected by desertification. As the Gobi Desert expands further south - engulfing an average of 3,000 square kilometres every year - entire communities are forced to relocate, becoming climate refugees. In a bid to combat this phenomenon, Chinese authorities have been erecting a so-called "Great Green Wall" of vegetation. In some areas, positive results are beginning to show. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Ellen Gainsford.

The project started in 1979 and has a planned construction cycle of 70 years. Now the desert is shrinking! Do a thing is not difficult, difficult is to continue to do 70 years!
Well done, China!
The first generation to fight in desert started in 1959
lmao, draining the land of water. Planting trees and plants that will suck the dirt dry
@@Tubehauge So you think you are the only one who ever doubt this? How naive. You are feeling intelligently superior to thousands of researchers, aren't you?
Tubehauge please, keep saying, it makes me laughing so hard. Hahahhaha
there is a fact that nobody could deny: the percentage of forest area in China has gone up from 8.6% to 23% in 70 years.
Is this the most recent stats? This is so impressive
is it a self sustaining forest or a maintained plantation? still better than nothing .
@@rossprivate5456 well in the rest of them world, both sustaining and maintained is decreasing. only chinese make it grows
50...
This is confirmed by NASA also from their space scans. As China's major antagonist India, I'm deeply respectful of this
I would say this is a way better project than sending billionaires to the space.
The only better project would be to send them never to return.

Bang on!
When I was in college, we needed to plant trees on a nearby mountain, twice a year. The local government developed a watering system on the top of the peaks. I still remember that we need to dig a hole 80cm deep and 80cm in diameter for each tree. Five years after graduation, I came back to witness that mountain turning green and bring more moist to the city. This is how China was changed.

You will never see these in CNN, Fox News, BBC etc
Alvin Yap all fake news, Thats why...
@Sy Fan he meant cnn fox etc lol
Luminous Space Thank you, people can’t read between the lines
they are anti walls
The great green wall has been spoken about by the BBC covering both the African and Chinese great green walls.
Though I can't say for the American news networks the BBC has covered this in one of there longer stories as well as video stories.
66 billion trees! That's impressive 😯
Johnny Appleseed would be proud!
Might almost start to catch up to the billions that they cut down in the past.
You're right. Because we use the world's most advanced shopping app, Alipay. We Chinese get virtual energy every time they shop. Energy can buy virtual trees. Then the Alibaba company will help us plant trees, which is the best engineer in green the Great Wall. I have 6 trees in the desert. Ha ha ha. We have 1 billion 400 million Chinese. An average of 6 trees per person. How many trees are there? You'll see
John Wedderburn very impressive..I'm speechless
Dave XB Yeah thanks to the Great Leap Forward movement we cut down a lot of trees then realized it was a horrible mistake and we’re trying to make up, but I’d still think those people in North West made a great achievement
I couldn't believe what I've seen when I flew through that area, it was full of green, miles to miles, it's so impressive.

@@roxanejaoul5826 I'm glad to know that, but that just fundamental eco-friendly behaviours that everyone should already learn and practice, let's skip how much people are actually doing that.

Motorcycle Granny! I loved those people, I always admire someone who is still living in their village or whatever after everyone else has left! Hey, no more noisy neighbors! You can ride your motorcycle anywhere you want.... I think that guy is ON to something. I think there could be a new kind of tourism in China, go visit people like this. Bring some supplies with you, right? Hang out, drink some tea, hear the story... then go out and plant some trees! Or dish out some water, whatever they need you to do. I think that might be a nice vacation. You could come back in another year or so to visit your trees!

You gotta love china's attitude of just do it.
Like when Mao commanded everyone to destroy all the forests that held the desert back. They just did it.
well of course its their attitude. they r the ones who manufacture it after all
Least China is making an effort and taking responsibility for there actions in this regaurd
Just censor the media with no democracy.
Thanks. Most of our Chinese people agree to change our way of development and try our best to make a clear and healthy country. And we are doing not just saying. :-)
Finally!! This is the kind of news I was waiting for!!
You are so late including these chinese!! Look up Great Green Wall in Africa.....
Yeah and the great green wall in China is dead now. They didn’t maintain it after planning and they all died.
Larry Garoth source？
Chai Allen Do a quick google search. Make sure to check the dates. The wall is all but dead and dying. On the bright side though, the project’s planting tree’s fast enough it’s not noticeable to the average eye, unfortunately without maintenance and an inability for birds to return to this forest is, like I said, causing its death or to be dying. Desertification still spreads, a quick google search will show that.
Larry Garoth So you are saying the greening rate are all made up numbers?
I always envy China when it comes to natural and man-made disaster management since China has a physical population explosion thereby prompting it to act swiftly.
I like their zero-tolerance to corruption.
That's the nature of communist government which runs the country in capitalist countries the rich run the governments and they wouldn't spent their money for a frivolous idea like that - there is alway money for the army though - look the NATO countries spending on wars - nobody can outspend them that's for sure:)

The buffering wall will stabilise soils and keep them moist, it should slow the drying and scouring effects of the wind, and help restore the micro-climate, allowing food crops to grow around the trees. They protect the areas from sandstorms and dry climate.

Because the nature environment in East Asia is relatively poor ,with frequent droughts and floods,typhoons,hot summer and cold winter ,we can have a better life only through constant efforts to improve the environment.
It’s a massive turn around after clearing all that land. Similar to Australia major shifts and turn arounds are needed.

But there are ways to represent the idea of infeasibility and unreasonable cost, which is the same thing as impossibility. Since Chinese has many short words and doesn't use as many prefixes and suffixes as European languages, this is to be expected.

Don't you just hate these unendingly negative journalists, if the deserts and poverty dissapeared tomorrow, they would still find some to complain about.
As a scientist ,I couldn't find the a problematic approach in the video. May be I didn't give enough attention. I would very much appreciate if you can point out if there is significant problem in their approach. I definitely think more scientists should become journalists to sort out the scientific illiteracy in journalism. Lastly, I am very happy that these journalists are finding issues and complaining about them so they create an awareness about the problems so that the public that is too much occupied with daily routines. I really appreciate the journalists who expose problems and corruption.

Glad that Greta Thunberg made an impact and has even you think about fighting man-made climate destruction.
Do you expect a little girl to plant an entire green wall? She's raising awareness so that the people in charge can do it. Why is it that people who dislike Greta Thunberg lack any form of logic and reason?
Her name is Greta Thunberg and she's one of the few that actually listen to scientists. The scientists that predicted desertification which this couple is fighting against.
A big forest creates his own climate, you get more rain.

@@williams1777 and once again pointing the finger. So is China responsible for people's consumption for wanting more , cheap and non-recycling that is the issue? What has this to do with China stepping up can only be cheered
@John Wood is that so?
@@samhermans1402
Not necessarily helping.. What they are planting are bushes and such.. But most of these are incredibly demanding in nutrition.. Meaning all those plans will suck away all the nutrition in the ground that is there meaning there will be very little actual plan diversity in that region and just the same plants reoccurring constantly.. So a single disease could wipe it all out.. It is the kind of symbolism the world doesn't need because those plans contribute nothing to avoiding actual climate change..
Try planting a actual tree or other species of plants there actual contributing the the ecology and you see that they will die quickly because they just can''t get enough nutrition from the ground because of the bushes sucking it all up.. This is actually 1 big problem in Europe where there are some species of plant becoming so dominant in a field that it starves off other plants.. While those are themselves not that useful for the ecology either..
There is actually a word for it, but I forgot it at this moment..
But essentially where entire fields are devoid of life except a few reoccurring plants that are incredibly nutrition demanding.. That is just as bad if not worse then a desert is for animals
@John Wood Obviously, that's why they're working so hard to fix it
@@DutchGabbers thanks for your input. I agree natural occurring plants would be better. But maybe that’s planned in a next fase of the project. Or maybe I’m being too positive and hopefull just by the idea of stopping desertification. 😉
Another thing is, I sometimes see people making very valuable remarks , like yourself in this case. I wonder if they ever tracht the owners of these projects. Me just being a big fan off constructive debate as the way forward on any level.

Amazing! I love when seeing a country working on green belts. Bravo China
I live in China and it's great to see these enormous changes happening. However, what I do miss is an honest evaluation of where many problems came from in the first place. Mao, for example, wrecked the country and bled it dry, strangled the economy, wiped out the culture, demolished the environment and even 45 years after his death China continues to struggle to fix itself after his blunders - and yet, he's still the hero. It seems to that it's this kind of cognitive dissonance and the total inability to admit mistakes that makes China a little bit creepy in the world's eyes.
That’s amazing!

Well to be fair... "migrants" go somewhere by choice, whereas "refugees" are forced to leave their home. Also the overall piece - including the interview - was quite positive toward China's efforts, not negative.
Well a refugee is only a refugee until they have been to a safe place where they could stay or had stayed for a while. So maybe they relocated these people to safe places which made them no longer refugees when thry were moved the town we see.
I find the cloud over Paris humorous in the back ground behind the reporter lol
I lived in the gobi desert and we grew up planting trees to protect us from sandstorms
Thanks you ! Join us on goodeed and goodActions where we plant trees and help biodiversity without spending a single cent ;)
Wooooow I really do impress by Chinese government with all those programs. Well done and keep doing
Is China able to do large scale projects like no other country on earth?
Mr Man china and dubai city does project beyond one's expectation..
China can do anything the leaders wants, because people are forced off land within and outside the law. It is a one party system. :)_
Arcavian Empri If you have nothing better to say just stfu.
Winson Han But is he wrong? A one party system allows for more tyrannical rule as there is no one else to compete with.
if they had stayed right there, they would have been doomed to die in the desert...why the government can't make the right decisions for them?
100% beautiful, peace from America
China started fighting global warming since the 1970's. In contrast, US Government has been exacerbating global warming.
China is the largest contributor to global pollution.
Damn America, time to catch up!
So, Chinese planted 60 billion trees, what have French done? Yeah, now you see it.
They import blacks and muslims..
This is a news site...go find an agriculture video to watch people planting trees. Don't be so jealous, it just makes us laugh
Djone Tan lol those imported blacks gold was stolen
Heather Larson your funny . North Africans Muslims were in for 600 to 300 years , since North Africa was French colony , your exaggerating it. French people aren't weak
Japan has a 24 hour hotline for Japanese tourists who suffer Paris Shock Syndrome when in France.
Apparently they can be quite shocked that the France they dreamed of isn't so.
I could've used this three years ago.
Paris is a cease pit now. I avowed not to return.
Most tourists have done so too... except the Chinese who are flocking en masse to buy cheap luxury brands ( for themselves and to on sell extras back in china for a profit ).
A better environment, a better future.
The biggest problem is that there is no biodiversity and is mainly one type of tree. Because there is no biodiversity, the trees can be burnt/infected/infested pretty easily. This has happened before and has slowed the progress of the project.
Glad they are working on this. I lived in the '70s in Algeria (Djelfa) where the same experiment was held. Unfortunately due to local corruption most trees were cut for profit.
what a pity.
in China, most of trees from natural forest is forbidden to cut dowm, it is illegal
We are 358 000 people and we plant trees on goodeed and goodActions without spending a single cent
Just curious, why didn't anyone learn from the mistake of the United States which caused the Dust Bowl? Kinda dumb tbh.
Political Status
And the bad farming that caused the dust bowl continues. I see it outside my window at the neighboring places and as I drive around the area
The great Wall has been updated to the green wall that is amazing and needs a lot more effort than the last one.
Whenever the reporter asks something about Chinese government, one can immediately notice the discomfort in the lady's face. It is not like she agrees or disagrees. She instinctively fears that the other person might try to make her say something bad about her government which can have repercussions later. This is what lack of freedom means.
Hopefully her Chinese communist overseers have threatened her and her family and she’s not one of the communist elitist rolling in money as they smashed the common people
Go china go!! We love you!! so inspiring for other countries to follow....
@Oliver Matthews Except we're just using them for cheap, taxable labor we can use to pay for our social programs. lmao
Welfare just keeps black people in the ghettos so they can't afford to live in my neighborhood.
Plus, we police them less for the sake of avoiding "racial profiling" so the problem will just clean its self up.
@Oliver Matthews delusional?
Go China go! Don't mind the haters! Continue to lead the world! Advanced kung hei fat choi!
medviation i understand for Chinese new years kong kee fat choi all my great frinds are CHINESE
恭喜気発財！
I think it is different in other dialects, but it is asinine to suggest because what is important is how it is spelled in Chinese characters which I am still in the early stages of learning.
This is Cantonese, Hong Kong area. I don't know Manadarin though.
I like China, but what about Human Rights?
Chinese are amazing people. I have been to beijinj. Its lovely. We should follow Great China. Love from pakistan
