      If they want success they have to start in the East - Ethiopia/Sudan then work westward. Reduced AEWs, reduced organic cloud condensation neuclii and increased albedo all make this experiment significantly more risky than it should be.

    Its not "just" that there are livestock and goats. Its the herders competing for every scrap of grass with their animals vs working together and planning the grazing available around the village. The Savory Institute teaches how "migrating" the herds together around the whole village produces surplus forage and prepares the soil in time for the rains.

    I think alot of people want to hear more about Oumuo and her story !! Women play such a huge role in their communities and she probably has so much wisdom and experiences to share !! It’s understandable why they would be skeptical to partner and join, but I love that you really work with the communities and get to know them on a personal level so that they have a big part in their own lands restoration. Long live the heroic green men !! Such an inspiring and hopeful video, it gives me strength to see stuff like this and know that there are people all across the globe doing their part to fight climate change and make a real difference

    Great work, love what you are doing here. I wonder once the vegetation has grown enough, the locals could be educated in regenerative grazing. Maybe moving from goats to other more beneficial animals for the local environment.

    • @Ecosia
      @Ecosia  Месяц назад +10

      Hey David! Thanks for watching and for commenting. That's a good thought and, indeed, our partners do think in those terms. Hommes et Terre is also active in other countries where they, indeed, teach techniques like agroforestry, for example. As you rightly said, though, it's a bit too early for that in this area. Cheers and thanks again!

    Wow wonderfull! ...I am planting around home myself. Because of the climate which is very hot ,and winter is very very cold and wet. So making my small property cooler with trees and eatable plants is our benifets.I did it on another home many years ago,now In twenty years I have been doing it again.

    You guys are bringing hope and a better future to West Africa, where guidance is needed to better conditions by teaching people: HOW. Here in the Ivory Coast desert in the north is progressing and in the inner country through cocoa and banana planting, a lot of deforestation is already programming dangerous stages. I thank you and applaud you for the hreat energetic step, first ti INFORM the population and ,yes so crucial, to break the confidence barrier, as they are SO aware and worried of any foreign engagements.THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all energy involved to do this Hommes de Terre work In Africa.❤🙏🏻💐🌹
