Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.
My understanding is that the Gobi Desert has historically been expanding due to desertification of the surrounding grasslands, and the project to plant trees in this area was to halt or reverse this process. In other words, the ecological destruction was already occurring.
only problem is it native species to the desert, or an exported potentially invasive species to the desert.

But double check me.
