Soil erosion in Hunan Province worsens, threatening land and water resources.
The soil and water conservation in Hunan Province is facing challenges due to forest damage, cultivation on virgin land, and a growing population. This has led to increased soil erosion, petrified land, silted up ponds and reservoirs, and worsening floods and droughts. To address these issues, efforts should focus on raising awareness, monitoring, implementing erosion control measures, and conducting scientific research.
