I believe there’s been real progress in the Sahel in western Africa. Iirc it involves more than just planting trees but full on land management like having grazing livestock graze in newly forested areas.

The Gobi is in China (and Mongolia, it covers most of the border between them). It’s actually quite possible that the documentary was about the same project as this article, though. The Taklamakan is either next to the Gobi or just the western part of the Gobi depending on who you ask
only problem is it native species to the desert, or an exported potentially invasive species to the desert.
My understanding is that the Gobi Desert has historically been expanding due to desertification of the surrounding grasslands, and the project to plant trees in this area was to halt or reverse this process. In other words, the ecological destruction was already occurring.
But double check me.
Those fucking Chinese, amirite? All they do is evil. While blockading Cuba is for humanity!
