Desertification Prevention and Control -- Laying the Path for Nature’s Green Comeback

Desertification, a form of environmental degradation, is a problem affecting over 100 countries worldwide. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Chinese government has established plantations, installed shelterbelts as windbreaks and for sand stabilization, and launched large-scale reforestation campaigns in order to stop the desert’s encroachment. China’s greening of the Kubuqi Desert, in particular, has received much attention in recent years. It has become known as the Kubuqi Model, providing a new solution for desertification control.

Towards Greener Pastures -- Revitalizing Rural China

For the Chinese government, the mission to lift hundreds of millions of farmers in China -- a major agrarian nation -- out of poverty is an imperative albeit a daunting one. Although implementation of the household responsibility system (allowing farmers to choose how to manage and what to grow on their land) has enabled farmers to meet their basic needs, the divide between urban and rural areas widened further. The key to developing a strong agricultural sector, enhancing the beauty of China’s rural areas and helping its farmers prosper must begin with the “Separation of Three Rights” --  the separation of rural land ownership rights, contract rights and land management rights -- followed by the twin programs of agricultural modernization and rural revitalization.

Relieving the Parched North: South-to-North Water Diversion Project

Water scarcity has long hampered both livelihoods in northern China and the region’s continual development. To address this perennial problem, China has launched a South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北調戰略工程) to divert the plentiful water of the Yangtze River (Changjiang) (長江) from southern to northern China via a network of “four transverse and three longitudinal waterways” (四橫三縱), which entails constructing three water diversion routes (the Eastern, Central and Western Routes) to connect four major rivers (the Yangtze River, the Yellow River (Huanghe) (黃河), the Huaihe River (淮河) and the Haihe River (海河). Over time, however, the Project has given rise to a string of problems that have in turn sparked widespread debate in society.

Green is Gold: Clear Waters and Green Mountains are as Good as Mountains of Gold and Silver

Anji County (安吉縣), which supplied the scenery for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, has been lauded  as “Fair China’s Most Beautiful County.” Yet, believe it or not, just more than a decade ago it used to be riddled with quarries while its rivers ran black with pungent smell. How, indeed, did China manage this stunning transformation, and within such a short time?
