The original landscape. After 30 yrs of afforestation.
It was mainly Gobi dessert in Aksu.
Land desertification & salinization was a major problem.
Yet, in 30 yrs, locals transformed it.
They built 768.6 million m² forest that includes shelterbelts, forest of economic values, like apples.

It's called Kekeya, which means Gobi desert in Uyghur.
Now ppl use "Kekeya Spirit" to represent solidarity, devotion & perseverance which ppl in Aksu used to turn desert into oasis.
7 local leaders were changed over the 30 yrs, but afforestation has never been abolished #COP26
