Revolutionary approach transforms abandoned coal mines into thriving ecosystems

Ecological Assessment

Researchers in China have been working on restoring land in a coal mine area for over 30 years. They have developed new methods to rebuild the land, control disasters, and improve soil quality. The reclamation areas are much larger than before, with thick, high-quality soil. Vegetation coverage has increased significantly over the years. The project has also created a new model for transforming industrial cities.
