At the desert’s edge
In China, expanding deserts are taking a heavy toll on the lives and livelihoods of many in the world’s most populous nation. In Kulun Qi, a dry area in northeastern Inner Mongolia, attempts have been made to stop, and maybe even reverse, the danger. At the Desert’s Edge documents the trials and tentative successes of a collaborative effort between locals, governmental initiatives and NGOs fighting to combat China’s growing deserts by planting a vast barrier of a million trees.
