Desert or carbon sink? 66 billion trees transform China's Taklamakan into the world's first desert carbon sink
China's ambitious "Great Green Wall" project has transformed the arid edges of the Taklamakan Desert into a significant carbon sink. Billions of trees planted have created green barriers, effectively absorbing more CO2 than they release, offering a groundbreaking model for combating desertification and climate change in extreme environments.
