STORYLINE:
A group of 25 students from over 10 countries visited the Baijitan national nature reserve in northwest China's Ningxia on Friday, marveling at China's efforts in combating desertification.
Ningxia is surrounded by desert on three sides. Baijitan, edged by Maowusu, one of China's major deserts, is one of the hardest-hit place, highly vulnerable to sandstorm catastrophes.
Over the past 70 years, with the unremitting efforts by local people and volunteers, 680,000 mu (45,333 hectares) of trees have been planted, raising the local forest coverage rate to 41 percent. The afforestation has curbed the expansion of the desert.
