In the 1960s, China sent hundreds of young foresters into a dying landscape. Today it is home to the world's largest man-made forest
Hundreds of young foresters began rebuilding a forest in northern China. They faced harsh conditions and repeated failures while planting trees. Over decades, their efforts created one of Earth's largest human-made forests. This forest now protects against desert expansion and wind erosion. It also provides significant carbon storage and wildlife habitats.
