Asia’s natural disasters and China’s tree planting

As Asia heads into its monsoon season, we look at how these tropical rainstorms have changed over the last million years against varying carbon emissions data. Meanwhile, farmers in the Chinese Gobi desert, despite reforesting nearly a quarter of China’s total area since the late 70s, now have to deal with increasingly challenging weather conditions.  Finally, the internet-famous herd of elephants trekking in China’s Yunnan province continues its journey, reminding us of the consequences of human expansion into wild habitats.
