YONGXING ISLAND, SOUTH CHINA SEA — Once a sparsely vegetated outpost, Yongxing Island, also known as Woody Island, has undergone a remarkable transformation into a verdant oasis. Serving as the seat of the Sansha city government, this island has become a national model for sustainable growth and environmental stewardship in the South China Sea.
The rapid greening of Yongxing Island is the result of concerted efforts by local authorities and residents to combat the harsh maritime climate and promote ecological balance. Utilizing innovative agricultural techniques and introducing resilient plant species, the island has successfully increased its forest cover, providing both environmental and economic benefits.
