What happened to the Three Gorges migrants? Thank you for your questions.

Problems along the Three Gorges have appeared for several years. As early as 2000, the central government began to change its national policy, emphasizing environmental degradation. The terrible flood along the Yangtze River has always been a hint, which claimed thousands of lives in 1998. Deforestation and soil erosion in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have caused natural disasters. Beijing has banned deforestation and started planting trees along the Yangtze River, including the Three Gorges area. Many farmers who moved to mountainous areas are now required to plant green belts along the Yangtze River. In order to further reduce the pressure on land, officials in the Three Gorges area have also changed their relocation policies and promised to provide free land and financial assistance to those immigrants who want to move to other provinces. Thousands of immigrants have returned to their original places of residence, but for many farmers, leaving their homes is not a good permanent solution. Although more than 654.38+million people have left here, now thousands of people have returned to their original places of residence, even though they no longer hold local residence permits. In 2002, 57 villagers from Daqiao Village moved to a village in Jiangxi Province in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. But now, 57 people have returned to their original places of residence.
