The Loess plateau is an area spanning more than 245,000 sq miles across three provinces and parts of four others.

By 2016 , China had converted more than 11,500 sq miles of rain-fed cropland to forest or grassland a 25% increase in vegetative cover in a decade .

The climate around the Loess plateau is changing, which means what existed, or even thrived, several decades ago can’t necessarily be put back, says Bridgewater .

Bridgewater: “Given the speed of climate change, we need to be thinking about what we want. What we want out of our ecosystems are actually services.”.
