Held under the overall theme of COP17, "Restoring Land, Restoring Hope," the exhibition presents China's efforts and achievements in combating desertification through five chapters across three dimensions.
Chapter 1: The Great Green Wall - Strengthening the Ecological Security Barrier in the North
Since 1978, China has launched a series of major ecological projects, including the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program (TSFP), widely recognized as the world's largest afforestation program. The TSFP was launched in 1978 and is scheduled to run until 2050. It is being implemented in eight phases, with the program currently in its sixth phase.
Since the implementation of the TSFP began, forest and grassland coverage in the project area has reached 40.76 percent, while the treatment rate of desertified land has reached 67.82 percent.
Chapter 2: Prairie Conservation and Restoration - Bringing Grasslands Back to Life
Since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China has rehabilitated and restored nearly 15.33 million hectares of degraded grassland.
In addition, nearly 80.66 million hectares of grassland have been restored through measures such as grazing bans and enclosure, benefiting approximately 12 million farmers and herders.
Chapter 3: International Cooperation - Building a Green Community with a Shared Future
Upholding the concept of a community of life on Earth, China has established desertification cooperation platforms with Arab countries, Mongolia, and Central Asian countries. It has also supported Belt and Road countries in their efforts to combat desertification, sharing Chinese experience and solutions for global ecological governance.
Chapter 4: Scientific Prevention and Control - Combining Knowledge and Technology to Enhance Governance Efficiency
China adheres to an integrated approach to the protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands, and deserts. It adapts measures to local conditions, prioritizes water-efficient approaches to ecological restoration, and implements targeted treatments in different areas.
In terms of technological advancement, the utilization rate of high-quality seeds has exceeded 75 percent, while the mechanization rate of sand control has reached 50 percent. The application of new equipment has increased the efficiency of sand-control operations by more than threefold.
Chapter 5: Coordinated Development of Ecological Industries - Achieving Green Prosperity Together
China has developed ecological industries and ecotourism initiatives tailored to local conditions, promoting the integrated development of ecological protection, industrial growth, and improvements in people's livelihoods. These efforts have helped transform desert and sandy areas into "green homes," enabling local communities to increase their incomes and achieve greater prosperity.
China has seen a continuous decline in the areas affected by desertification and land salinization, becoming the first country in the world to achieve "zero growth" in land degradation. Approximately 53 percent of manageable salinized land has been effectively treated, making China a global leader in ecological restoration.
During COP17, which runs through Aug. 28, the "China Corner" will also host a series of thematic side events to facilitate exchanges on ideas, technologies, and practices for combating desertification.

Delegates' speeches evaluated Fidel's role in promoting Cuba-China ties, especially when Cuba became the first Latin American and Caribbean country to establish diplomatic relations with China.
Alberto Blanco Silva, Cuban Ambassador to China, said in his opening remarks that the revolutionary leader is a figure whose influence transcends borders, time, generations, and ideologies.
Blanco noted that Fidel's life was devoted to Cuba's independence, social justice, solidarity among people, Latin American and Caribbean integration, and Global South, the socialist cause, and a more just and equitable international order.
Ambassador Blanco said that from Fidel, "we learned to practice solidarity through deeds, not merely beautiful words; to remain steadfast in the face of adversity and prudent in victory." For decades, Fidel's voice was echoed among developing countries, Blanco said, adding that Fidel promoted transformations that changed the course of Cuba's history.
Blanco also regarded Fidel as a statesman with a universal vision. Recalling the South Summit held in Havana, Cuba, in 2000, Ambassador Blanco quoted Fidel, saying "Globalization is an objective reality, which reveals our conditions as passengers abroad the same vessel - this planet inhabited by us all."
With this metaphor, Fidel illustrated the urgent need to unite global efforts as an international community to save the planet and humanity, preserve the future of our children, and reduce the gap between the North and the South, Blanco continued.
The Cuban Ambassador also noted Fidel's personal attention to China-Cuba relations.
Fidel, on behalf of the historic leadership, took the initiative, during a mass rally on September 2, 1960, to consult the people and announce the sovereign decision to establish diplomatic relations with the Government of the People's Republic of China, making Cuba the first country in the Western Hemisphere to dare take that step, the ambassador said, switching his speech from Spanish to Chinese.
Blanco added that it was Fidel who, with great frankness and courage, addressed the issue of the exclusion of the People's Republic of China and its admission to the United Nations in his speech before the United Nations on September 26, 1960.
Fidel also consistently upheld the one-China principle and, through his speeches and reflections, condemned interference in China's internal affairs and attempts to undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the People's Republic of China. At the same time, Fidel helped foster mutual interest between Latin America and the Caribbean and China.
Moreover, Fidel instructed that the book, The Long March, an account of a great military feat by Red Army in 1930s whose 90th anniversary we are commemorating this year, be published. Fidel knew its history in great detail and regarded it as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, Blanco recalled.
From Blanco's view, Fidel has helped forge a bond that today stands as an example of cooperation between a large country and a small one, based on equality and mutual respect.
The diplomat said that today, the joint construction of a China-Cuba community with a shared future is an expression of the high-level of strategic trust achieved between "our countries and opens new opportunities to expand cooperation for the benefit of both our peoples."
"One hundred years after his birth, Fidel Castro remains present in the memory of all those who are grateful to him and all those who defend just causes, both within and beyond Cuba," Blanco concluded.
One of the reasons why Fidel is still relevant today is that while people commemorate him, they are also reaffirming the value of the bilateral friendship, which Fidel forged and helped strengthen.
Ma served as Chinese Ambassador to Cuba from 2021 to 2024.
Ma said he visited on numerous occasions the Fidel Castro Center, which is located not far from the Chinese Embassy, as well as museums that feature Fidel.
"The more I learned about Comrade Fidel Castro, the more I was captivated by his noble character, outstanding qualities, and personal charisma," said Ma.
Fidel visited China twice and warmly received several Chinese leaders on their visits to Cuba, making historic contributions to the development of China-Cuba relations. The Chinese people will never forget him, Ma said.
In the current complex and evolving international landscape, China firmly supports Cuba in exploring a path of socialist development suited to its national conditions, firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and security and opposing foreign interference, and stands ready to work together with Cuba and the wider international community to jointly uphold international fairness and justice, Ma stressed.
