UN: China's success against soil loss could be replicated in other countries

China's success in fighting desertification, or soil loss, is a model that can be replicated in other parts of the world, delegates to a United Nations conference said on Wednesday.

"The achievements of China are very encouraging because many of the successful projects are launched in the country's poorest areas with low technology," said Monique Barbut, secretary-general of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification.

"China's examples are comparable to other situations in the world, and we could introduce them somewhere else."
