Hi Zhiqian,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good policy question memo to me. This question is meaningful and you did neutrally focus on the desertification problem and also clearly pointed out the client. In the brief description section, your explanation helped me better understanding why you chose to address this problem and what it affected to the society.
