> As the UN Convention to Combat Desertification’s COP17 takes place in Ulan Bator, China is supporting Mongolia’s efforts against desertification. Inner Mongolia has supplied more than 11.7 million saplings, while the two countries cooperate on ecological restoration, afforestation, sandstorm monitoring and weather warnings. A Chinese mining company has also planted over 12,000 trees and reclaimed more than 30 hectares of land in Mongolia.
