In Mainling County, Lingzhi Prefecture, China's Xizang Autonomous Region, a valley once regularly covered by wind and drifting sand is being rewritten by local wisdom and years of perseverance. Through sand stabilization, windbreaks, irrigation and planting, the land has not only turned into lush green forests but also into fruit orchards that bring new income to local communities. From moving sand to an inviting oasis, this is a story of people learning to live with the land again.
