A new Great Wall of China || History || by @steemitlover36
The Gobi Desert is in the north of China. China was paying the price of being a neighbor of this great desert by giving land. The hot, dry winds of the desert swept across the lush green plains of China. Every year, 3,600 square kilometers of arable land is taken away from Chinese farmers. The sand would be recognizable and the hot air would burn the green.
In the past, China built the Great Wall to protect the cavalry from the north and south. He also decided to build a wall in 1978 against this new invader from the north. It was a decision to grow the Great Green Wall. China, which builds huge buildings in days and weeks, has set a target of 2050 for this seemingly impossible task. Today, the largest man-made forest in the world is in China.
In 2007, China covered 500,000 square kilometers of land, or 18 percent of the project's area, with trees. It is said that history bears witness to our present and tomorrow. Ask an elder about the weather in Karachi twenty-five years ago. It was a city that was neither cold nor hot. Today, from March to November, Karachi presents the scene of a suffocating hot oven whose fire has been extinguished but coal is burning under the ashes.
On the one hand, the desert is entering the city, on the other hand, the sea of concrete is spreading. On the coast, mangrove forests have been cleared from the sea and the sea smells of drain water. We have even 5% of China's plan. Can we today make the city's suburbs and empty fields green for tomorrow?
