In 1620, about half the USA was covered by forests. Today the forests have almost gone . A lot of good land has gone with them, leaving only sand . China doesn't want to copy the USA's example . We're planting more and more trees . We've built the “Great Green Wall" of trees across northern part of our country . The Great Green Wall is 7,000 kilometres long, and between 400 and 1,700 kilometres wide. It will stop the wind from blowing the earth away . It will stop the sand from moving towards the rich farmland in the s outh . More "Great Green Walls" are needed . Trees must be grown all over the world . Great Green Walls will make the world better .
