Loess Plateau
China's Loess Plateau was once covered with natural forests, but high winds and thousands of years of clear-cutting for agricultural purposes have created one of the world's worst soil-erosion problems. Here, a government tree-restoration project aimed at stabilizing the soil and reducing erosion covers miles of hillside on the plateau.
