Beside me was a tree, one lone tree. That tree was locally famous
because it was the only tree anywhere in that vicinity; yet its
presence proved that once there had been a forest over most of that
land-now treeless and waste. The farmers of a past generation had
cleared the forest. They had plowed the sloping land and dotted it
with hamlets. Many workers had been busy with flocks and teams,
going to and fro among the shocks of grain. Year by year the rain
has washed away the loosened soil. The hamlets in my valley below
the Great Wall are shriveled or gone. Only gullies remain -a wide
and sickening expanse of gullies, more sickening to look upon than
the ruins of fire. You can rebuild after a fire. Can anything be
done about it? Yes, something can be done. Therefore, this book is
written to persons of imagination who love trees and love their
country, and to those who are interested in the problem of saving
natural resources-an absolute necessity...(From Chapter 1)
