CHINA-GANSU-MAQU-SOIL PRESERVATION (CN)
(221205) -- LANZHOU, Dec. 5, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 31, 2018 shows a natural pasture in Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Gansu Province. This year's World Soil Day fell on Monday. Located on the northeast brink of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Maqu County boasts an extensive presence of grasslands and wetlands, which had suffered a lot from degeneration and desertification before the end of the 20th century. Thanks to a series of ecological preservation and soil improvement programs in recent years, a substantial part of the once damaged vegetation has been restored in the county. (Xinhua/Chen Bin)
