In many parts of the world, land that was once forest has changed greatly. Some of the land has become part of cities or towns while some other places no longer have any trees because they've been cut down for other reasons. This causes problems. It affects the climate, and causes animals to move or die and deserts to become huger.
China needs to plant trees because so many of its forests have been cut down in the last 50 years. Although there are still problems to solve, China's tree-planting programmes are huge. China plants more trees than the rest of the world. Who are some of the people behind the result? Let's find out.
In Jiangxi Province, 83-year-old Zou Lianying has been planting trees on her land for almost 20 years. She knows that planting trees is good for the environment, so at the age of 64, she sold her cows and pigs and borrowed money to open a forest farm. Her family's forest farm has trees covering about 4 km² with more than 8 million trees. Her trees are worth around 12 million RMB but she won't cut down even one tree. She believes the forest she is planting will be a gift for future generations(后代).
Near Beijing, Wei Guiying and a team of helpers have planted millions of trees. They have also been working at this for more than 20 years. Now, 20 km² of hills have turned green. It hasn't been easy for her. She has borrowed money to pay for young trees. This doesn't seem to matter to her, though, as she says proudly that she's not a millionaire(百万富翁) but she has millions of trees.
A lot of work is still needed to prevent deserts from getting larger and to stop the climate from getting warmer, but if more of us can be like these tree heroes, it will certainly make life better for everyone.
