accounting for 19% of the total natural area, of which 25,757 hectares of degraded

In order to overcome
the risk of desertification and the situation of natural disasters occurring frequently,
increasingly, and complicatedly on sandy coastal areas, the province has
determined that the afforestation and plantings to cover vegetation are
sustainable methods to protect the environment, improve the ability to absorb
