Elion's 'desertification' plan gains international acclaim

Groundbreaking environmental projects, carried out over many years in the Kubuqi Desert in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, are to be used as blueprints to further improve conditions in other harsh areas of western China.

Completed by Elion Resources Group Co, a leading Chinese expert in the development of desert economies, green living, clean energy and cultural tourism, the work has just been showcased at the World Climate Change Conference 2015, being held in Le Bourget, near Paris.

Elion officials told the conference that the company had effectively greened 12,700 square kilometers of desert over a 27-year period, which in turn directly benefitted the lives of around 100,000 people, as well as creating jobs for more than 1 million across the country.
