Why Africa is building the Great Green Wall 

it's comforting how something so unassuming like rock walls and holes can do so much

Love this! I’m glad to hear some positive environmental news for a change

Only thing missing is adding some Terra Preta pits giving the area 1000+ years of stable fertility.

This video was great! I'd love to see some updates on your Wren projects in particular, similar to how Mossy Earth does it. I think you could grow your reach exponentially that way. Keep up the amazing work! 🌱✨

So glad to see an update on this project - I heard about it a long time ago but it seemed like it wasn't moving forward!

I wonder why scientist spends billion of dollars studying or searching life in Mars where the Earth itself the desert in particular promises self sufficient surroundings,

Amazing story and it deserves so much attention!! Bravo!!

New Wren video!! Been waiting and this was well worth it :)

Hey as always great documentary and just all-round Fantastic video

Best success - worthy project

This is such an inspiring story and shows the importance of having local farmers and inhabitants participating in the process instead of fighting it. As well, using natural vegetation that will readily grow in a given habitat is always the most effective strategy.

thanks for the video, excellent presentation

Fantastic video, just looked at your website good work 👌

The pine forest would have been a good start if once the trees were five meters tall they were thinned, chipping the branches to leave as mulch and replacing the trees that were removed with native plants, repeating until the area was well-mulched and all the plants were native.

Africa is already green in large parts, particularly evident in central Africa (ironically where the "poorer" countries are). However the Sahara region is primarily inhabited by Arabs (ethnically Asians), and they share some historical practices with the Ottoman Turks under Islam. Both groups have a history of extensive tree cutting, contributing significantly to desertification in North Africa and the Middle East. It's clear to see on the satellite map all the regions influenced by these practices have transformed into arid deserts. The Sahara shares similar latitudes with parts of the USA, so what would happen to the USA if they did the same as the Arabs? This transformation results from centuries of deforestation carried out by Arabs and Turks.

Thank you for the content 👏

We need many more projects like this if we are going to save this planet and stabilize it going into the future. If ecological experts are consulted and the local traditions and populations are taken into account, these projects can't help but succeed.

All good news! However, European union need to stop a subsidised food sold in African and it creating avoc to local farmers, due that local jobs lose. The local farms can't compete with subsidised food. That means less farmers want to work on the land.

this is so cool!!

Africa's green wall concept is incredible! would be good to see reviews of successful tree planting initiatives and deep dives into Ecosia and Mr. Beast's team trees impact.

This approach was developed by Swiss farmer and researcher Ernst Götsch, who has been working in Brazil for over 40 years. Gotsch's method, known as syntropic agriculture, is based on the idea of creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that mimics the natural processes of ecological succession.

great video! Do you believe Vertical Farming is needed to nurture all of Humanity by 2030?

Its roughly called Gum Arabic or Arabic Gum Because it grows in sahel area in from senegal to Sudan in africa and first country to produce this product was Senegal but senegal and other Sahel Merchants used to go to Mecca during pilgrimage time where they also take their products to sell so they take Gum to sell it their then the product find its way to other non arabic countries who thought its grows in arabian peninsula so they call it arabic Gum Even today there is no single Arabic countries produce Gum most if not All Gum comes from Sudan and other Sahel countries also from Ethiopia and Somalia and all those countries are African country Its the same story with coffee Arabica which originally come from Ethiopia then from there to Yemen

This picture is confusing. I saw in other videos the great green wall isn't pogressing due fund shortage.

What about using drip irrigation if possible. Tree planting is only successful when it is watered and cleaned for by people.

Have they thought about introducing beavers?

People can change if they want.

Mayhaps they should create cannals from their northern oceanic facing borders, and force it southward.

good job African

/ RETIRE IN AMERICA BY 30 / Giving people solar ovens and rocket stoves would probably really help on the reduction of wood turned into charcoal for cooking.

Great stories but save a portion for the wild life that have their home there. It's better to stick to the lands that was not real not desert to begin with. There are vast areas like this waiting to be reforested.

I wish we can make Somaliland green

Arborizar é um serviço para a eternidade. Árvores são armas contra o sol que queima a terra e seca os rios.

Have u seen stimpi lately😅 ?

Socialism Yeah! The dynamic of Society.

They denoted Thomas Sankara 'Marxist' so they could have a reason to eliminated him, western imperialists killed one of the most promising and visionary leaders of Africa,Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso!!
