People change nature in good ways. One great example is the green corridor along the Tarim Desert Highway in the Taklamakan Desert.
The Tarim Desert Highway was completed in 1995. To protect the road from being covered by sand, people started to build the green corridor project in 2003. This green corridor is 436 kilometers long. It is the longest green belt in the world that runs through the desert. People planted millions of trees and grass on both sides of the road. These plants keep the sand in place and protect the road from wind and sand. Workers use water-saving ways to keep the plants alive in the dry desert.
This green belt is very important. It connects different places of Xinjiang and helps people travel safely across the desert. We will keep protecting it to stop the desert from spreading in the future.
