We are experiencing a dangerous decline in nature: One million species are threatened with extinction, soils are turning infertile and water sources are drying up.
But there are glimmers of hope: With young people leaving in masses for jobs in the city, the Chinese countryside experiences hollow villages and degrading farmlands. Watch how innovators marry science and tradition to bring rural economies and landscapes back to life.
China’s Shan-Shui Initiative has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
These initiatives represent Earth’s frontiers of hope, as countries agreed to a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Under the agreement, countries promise to protect 30% of the planet’s lands and seas, and bringing back 20% from degradation.

This restores my soul. Ever since I saw Edward Norton in the gorgeous movie The Painted Veil I've wanted to see the mountainous beauty of China. I remember how China's cities were thick with pollution and smog, now entire cities have only EV buses and cars. I want to see what the US is doing because currently with less arable land and potable water, China is producing more food than the US.

If a country has only tens of millions of people or less, it will not cost much to subsidize the people. But a country with 1.4 billion people will spend a lot of money on government subsidies. However, the Chinese government rarely sends money directly to the people. They usually send chickens, piggy, saplings and seeds to poor farmers and guarantee to purchase these agricultural products to make them rich through their own labor. This is a sustainable virtuous circle. There is an old Chinese saying:授人以鱼不如授人以渔( teach a man how to fish rather than give him a fish)
