The final kilometer of Taklimakan Desert green barrier nears completion

00:50

China is in the final stages of completing 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 has built a 2,761-kilometer-long 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.
