Hamas, however, said it had submitted a "positive" response to the U.S.-backed plan but sought amendments, including a demand for a longer-term ceasefire. (Photo by Rizek Abdeljawad/Xinhua)

For more than 70 years, people here have made unremitting efforts in transforming the ecological environment of this area to win the tough battle against desertification. The forest coverage rate of Zhangwu has increased from 2.9 percent to more than 30 percent, while the number of dusty days per year has fallen to single digits.
In recent years, Zhangwu County has promoted its ecological and industrial transformation, and increased local income by developing forestry and under-forest economy. (Xinhua/Pan Yulong)
