(230912) -- CHENGDU, Sept. 12, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo shows workers laying blankets made from coconut shells on a slope at an abandoned mine restoration site in Duoma Village, Dazhasi Town in Ruoergai County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, Aug. 23, 2023. Grass sprouts from the surface covered by blankets made from coconut shells at the area of the abandoned mines in Ruoergai County of Aba Prefecture, where bedrocks were exposed before. Blankets made from coconut shells have compact structure and strong corrosion resistance. They can effectively inhibit soil erosion, and have excellent slope protection effect. In addition, they can be biodegradable, decomposing into organic fertilizer after "completing their mission". Due to stone mining in the past, bare bedrocks were left on the grassland, making it very difficult to restore vegetation and seriously affecting the ecological environment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The utilization of blankets made from coconut shells provi

    (230915) -- GANNAN, Sept. 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 5, 2023 shows the wetland at the Hequ horse ranch in Maqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Gansu Province. Located on the northeast rim of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Maqu County boasts an extensive presence of grasslands and wetlands. Maqu, meaning "the Yellow River" in the Tibetan language, is the only county named after "Yellow River" in China. Covering an area of 5.62 million mu (about 374,667 hectares), the Maqu wetlands serve as an important water reserve and eco-zone in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. However, the Maqu wetlands once suffered from shrinking lake areas, grass degradation, and decreasing water conservation capacity. In order to protect the Maqu wetlands from degrading further, Maqu County has continued to implement integrated conservation and restoration projects of its environment in recent years. The wetlands are expanding with increasing water conservation capacity,
