Yellow River Documentation Tour in China
Dragon Boat Day - Star Sea Lakes.
Greenpeace China Impacts campaigner Ms. Li Moxuan witnesses a small lake, part of the STAR SEA LAKES system diminishing fast with approaching desertification. Rising temperatures and quicker evaporation are contributing to the shrinkage of the lake and the lakeside wetland which ecologically serves as a buffer zone to protect the lake. Now with the wetland drying quickly, the deserts are approaching the lakes systems rapidly.

Yellow River Documentation Tour in China
From 1966 to 2000, glaciers in the Yellow River Source region retreated by 17% in area, causing the loss of 2.39 billion m3 of water from source of the river. Greenpeace is calling for due attention and action to deal with disasters that climate change brings about and reminds all that reducing CO2 emission to stop climate change must be done now.
