🌊 Hey friends! Have you heard of the Yellow River? It’s one of China’s most important rivers, and it all starts high up on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau! 🏔️
In a place called Yoigilangleb Qu, the river begins its long journey. The people living here have a super important job—they protect the very beginning of the Yellow River! 🛡️
Climate Change is Challenging 🌦️
But things are changing. Climate change is making temperatures warmer, and that’s affecting the snow and ice on the mountains. ❄️➡️💧 When the snow melts too quickly, it can cause floods or leave less water for later. That’s a big problem for the river and everyone who depends on it!
How Locals are Helping 💪
The people of Yoigilangleb Qu aren’t just sitting around—they’re taking action! They are:
- Planting Trees: 🌳 Trees help keep the soil in place so it doesn’t wash into the river.
- Watching the Water: 👀 They keep an eye on the river to make sure it’s clean and healthy.
- Teaching Others: 📚 They share their knowledge about protecting the environment with visitors and younger generations.
