were not easy. Yi Jiefang went to 
the deserts of Inner Mongolia and saw 
vast areas of dry lands
 with little 
agriculture. So Yi Jiefang made a proposal
 
to plant one million trees in the region over 
_ten years_ and the government agreed. 
Although the first trees were blown away , 
her team continued planting more trees. 
Now the trees have _a_survival rate of 85%.
