Great Green Wall



<Great Green Wall> Project

   Great Green Wall is a 15-km long windbreak made of millions of trees including desert poplars and sand willows across the Kubuqi desert in Inner Mongolia, China. The Kubuqi desert is blamed as one of the main sources of yellow dust afflicting Korea as it is the closest desert to Korea.

    It was 2006 when Future Forest initiated an ambitious 5-year-long afforestation project in the desert in association with the All-China Youth Federation and "Dalateqi" local government.

    The project was named "Great Green Wall" and commenced on October 21, 2006. Thanks to the participation of many governmental agencies and private companies both from Korea and China, Great Green Wall took shape in the easternmost area of the desert, preventing the desert from expanding eastward. As of 2010, Future Forest planted some 4 million trees in the Kubuqi desert.
