imperatives leads to solutions i.e. brazil should never need to create a forest, and so brazil shall never innovate or otherwise copy a way to create a forest, and so we best not count on brazil to advance civilisation in any substantial natural-scale way - not a criticism, just is the absence of imperatives is a curse ... reminds me of those sea creatures in the lagoon of bora bora, let us hope the world is comprised of hardier sorts when we are finally visited by aliens from other worlds gbtimes.com UN’s highest environmental honour awarded to Chinese project It took three generations to build Saihanba Forest Farm, the largest man-made forest in the world. China News Service Autumn view of Saihanba Forest Farm. China News Service In only 55 years, the Saihanba highlands, now home to Saihanba National Forest Park, were turned from a vast desert into lush forests and boundless grassland. China News Service Constructors of Saihanba Forsest Farm in China’s Hebei Province won the 2017 Champions of the Earth award, which is the United Nation’s highest environmental honour. China News Service The Saihanba Forest Farm in China’s Hebei Province has won the 2017 Champions of the Earth award, which is the United Nation’s highest environmental honour. According to a report by China News, the winner was announced on Tuesday in a press conference of the third meeting of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA 3) held in Nairobi, Kenya. The award is called “Inspiration and Action”. The Saihanba Forest Farm was established on desert land in 1962 to block the southward movement of the Hunshandake desert, which is located at the northern edge of the East Asian monsoon region. The highest temperature in the area is around 33 degrees Celsius, but the lowest is around minus 43 degrees Celsius. Over the past 55 years, forestry workers have overcome extreme weather and living conditions to build the largest man-made forest in the world. "Saihanba" is a term with a mixture of Mongolian and Chinese origins, meaning a beautiful and high mountain. The area turned into a wasteland as a result of massive reclamation in the 1960s. The “Green Great Wall” they built helped millions of people to avoid air pollution, as well as protect the supply of clean water. Erik Solheim, deputy secretary-general of the UN and executive director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP), made the remarks in an interview with Chinese state media Xinhua. He was also impressed by the evident achievements in greening, saying China's experience in combating desertification should be replicated around the world.
