Three-North Shelter Forest Program (also known as the Great Green Wall) in China is the first world-famous ecological project that started with China’s Economic Reform and Opening-up. This project is a large-scale shelterbelt system construction approved by the State Council of the PRC in 1978 to address the severe problem of sandstorm hazards and soil erosion in the North, the Northeast, and the Northwest regions.
