摘　　要：The Chinese Loess Plateau,a region of remarkable ecological and economic value,grapples with significant water management challenges due to its distinctive geology and climate.This perspective offers a short review of the eco-environmental protection measures undertaken in the Loess Plateau,underscoring the transformative impacts of initiatives such as the“Grain for Green”project.However,it also highlights the enduring challenges,including land degradation,water resources issues,socio-economic inequities,and the implications of climate change.Particularly,water management emerges as a pivotal issue with far-reaching repercussions for soil conservation,biodiversity,and human livelihoods.The paper concludes by proposing future actions,emphasizing the necessity for policy modifications,novel initiatives,and research to tackle these challenges and foster sustainable development in the Loess Plateau.The insights gained from this region could offer invaluable lessons for other regions confronted with similar challenges,thereby contributing to global efforts to mitigate desertification and champion sustainable development.
