@EarnieAnd@earthcurated Vegetation cover increased dramatically.
Soil erosion and sediment flowing into the Yellow River declined substantially.
Agricultural productivity and household incomes increased.
More than 2.5 million people benefited economically, and significant reductions in poverty.
@EarnieAnd@earthcurated eginning in the mid-1990s, the Chinese government, supported in part by the World Bank, launched the Loess Plateau Watershed Rehabilitation Project. The restoration strategy included:
Banning grazing on vulnerable hillsides.
Terracing steep farmland.
@EarnieAnd@earthcurated Planting trees, shrubs, and native grasses.
Building check dams to trap sediment.
Improving water management.
Giving farmers incentives to adopt more sustainable agricultural practices.
The results were remarkable:
Millions of hectares of degraded land were restored.
When you hesitate to betray the dear leader and answer questions, here are the tactics they use to pressure you. Just pathetic, these are the best people they've managed to find to fill these positions. #DemsUnited

@gmelias3@CalDisasters@LauraLoomer@mtgreenee They were under seal until a federal judge ordered them to unseal (Jan '24). Biden couldnt legally order a judge to dump sealed civil or grand-jury records. DOJ must abide by secrecy rules & victim-protection laws while case was pending. Trump now can but now doesn't want to ask.
@SpeakerJohnson Please take a minute to factcheck: The “$200B to illegal aliens” line is false.

The “gut rural hospitals” claim is not supported by the actual bill text.
Farmers: We’re struggling.
Trump: Okay, but have you tried being Argentina?
MAGA farmers voted for the guy who bankrupted casinos, and they’re shocked he’s bankrupting them too.
