Ecological forest in Changting of Fujian

Changting county in South China's Fujian province was once the hardest-hit area for water and soil loss due to its thin and barren red soil. At that time, the broad-leaved forest coverage was no more than one percent. Plants there had weak capacity to resist risks.

In early 2012, China National Petroleum Corporation started to help the county and launched a local environmental protection project that also contributed to improving villagers' income.
