Dubai Friendship Tree
Chinese environmental activist and farmer Yin Yuzhen has transformed around 4,700 hectares of the Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia into green spaces. Her afforestation and desertification-control efforts have helped reduce the area of sand-affected land in Wushen by about 80%. In 1986, she and her husband began by planting 600 saplings, using grids of straw and dry grass to stabilize the dunes and slow the wind before planting trees. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization named her one of its 100 leading women champions of food systems and rural development. She has also expressed a wish to visit Dubai and plant a friendship tree there.
