Xizang in 60 seconds: The ecological transformation on the 'Roof of the World'

00:46

Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, hailed the "Roof of the World," is undergoing a profound ecological transformation. Once facing localized degradation from overgrazing, the ecosystem is showing a complex evolution, with both vegetation recovery and glacial retreat occurring. Forest coverage has soared from less than 5 percent to 12.3 percent, and 47 national nature reserves have been established. Air quality has also improved, with the proportion of clear days consistently exceeding 99 percent since 2016. Innovation is playing a key role, with photovoltaic power generation capacity surpassing 10 million kilowatts and young locals using drones and livestreaming to champion environmental protection. This vibrant land is a stage for an ecological miracle.
