Across China are swathes of lands with a poor ecological environment and rocky desertification. Without intervention to bolster biodiversity, these lands would remain barren, unable to sustain thriving plant life, provide refuge for animals or support the local economy.
Situated within Bijie City in China’s Guizhou province, this project plants native species on these barren lands to sequester carbon dioxide. By afforesting an area that was previously desertified, the project protects biodiversity as it increases the connectivity of forests and improves soil and water conservation in the karst region. Reforestation efforts include planting China fir, Cypress and Pinus armandii trees which are native species.
During the monitoring period, 10 species of plants and animals were discovered as a result of biodiversity improvement efforts. In tandem to producing these environmental benefits the project additionally contributes towards sustainable development - creating jobs for local communities in the region.
