Desertification in China

A group of locals planting trees in the isolated town of Hongsibao, which lies 150km south of Ningxia's capital Yinchuan. It is completely surrounded by dry and arid land and is officially titled the 'Hongsibao Development Zone Poverty Reduction Project'. Some 200,000 people have been relocated to the town from local mountainous areas, suffering as a result of the harsh, dry climes and increasing desertification.
