China experiences fewer spring sandstorms following decades of desertification control efforts

Official data showed that China has experienced a decline in the number of spring sandstorms over the past two decades, following significant efforts to combat desertification. The average number of sandstorms decreased from 12.5 times annually twenty years ago to 9.6 times currently, thanks to land rehabilitation initiatives and reforestation in northern regions since 1978. Additionally, erosion factors have decreased by approximately 40% since 2000, supported by increased international cooperation to fight desertification and reduce the risks associated with sands and dust.
