Senegal: building a Green Wall for Africa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- All over the world, fertile land is vanishing, swallowed up by the desert. Africa is particularly hard-hit.
In a century, the Sahara has moved south by 250 km, over a 6,000 km front.
Today, a decisive and stubborn battle is being led against desertification. The Pan-African Great Green Wall Project, to stop drying up of the Sahel, was launched in 2005. It meant to reforest a 15 km wide band, from Djibouti to the north of Senegal, over a length of 7,600 km.
But so far, only Senegal has really committed itself to this huge project.

Bravo Senegal, lets hope the rest of the Sahel will actively take part in this wonderful project.
Clearly this a bad project and very evil. We've seen plenty of these sand barrier projects in Africa. They're designed to waste the time, energy and resources of countries that are already experiencing problems. The only appropriate tree to plant in Africa is a fruit tree. We need food. Anyone calling for planting any other type of tree is a saboteur.
I hate to be the killjoy of the day but... They'd rather go with Wagner... The eternal benefactor to Africa... Against some sort of payments of course...
@vermicelli,…….. the former Colonisers did a great Job …..?.?.?
@@ayubshaikh9156 History will tell but I have my opinion on this...
@@vermicelledecheval5219 The destabilization in West Africa is a direct result of the NATO bombing of Libya and the capture of arms by terror groups. Nations are turning to BRICS, Russia, and Wagner out of desperation. Because of the terrorists unleashed by NATO and the bad deals forced upon them by the IMF and World Bank. Under BRICS, African nations can use agricultural commodities to back their currency. Meaning the Great Green Wall would increase wealth. More nations and people around the world are realizing BRICS will treat them more fairly than US/UK/EU.
Well done Senegal, thank you.. Instead of talking about ancient history they are working towards future centuries & new generations. Massive respect!
One does not have to exclude the other. There must be room for both. Knowing your history is also important. Education is the key.
Also build a high protective wall to keep out the pernicious arabic i-virus mental disease from entering and ravaging your peaceful societies.
SAY THAT TO THE JEWS!!
Somalians could never
Not so ancient history though. Can't be ancient history when I'm not even ancient. Brutal, savage colonisation in Africa extended into my lifetime. Neo-colonialism and even France's financial colonialism is ongoing.
And if you are an American, Jim Crow was alive and kicking in my lifetime. I saw the freedom marches. I saw the baton wielding policemen. I saw the dogs and the fire hoses. I saw the MLK assassination. Directly after they happened.
More than two decades after the Holocaust.
So.....
I wish more success to Senegal 🇸🇳 and the rest of the Green wall nations from Morocco 🇲🇦
Indian plant peepal ,bargad , pakhar etc
As a Senegalese as a human I’m really praying for all of us
Prayer will help... nobody
@@rolfpoelman3486 …for you

Go and Plant some Trees then Pray for the Trees to Survive. Don't just Pray without any Contributions
The French have kept many of their former colonies dependent upon them for decades.. …by keeping the people poor…. Unless you do the work yourself, nobody will help you!
I could never have thought that this was possible. Kudos to the people of Senegal and the people behind the Great Green Wall.👏👏
10000 of years to reach the IQ of a squirrel, that's a major evolution in this area.
Maybe in 1000 years, you won't eat and dismember the ones born white (albinos)
Bravo Senegal 🇸🇳!
Ethiopian planted 25 billion trees the last 4 years. Of this 25% are trees for food such as avocado 🥑, mango 🥭 and papaya.
Avocado requires a lot of water. Interesting choice.
They need to also start planning fruit trees . People need trees that also provide food. Birds will also spread the seeds and natural reforestation will also happen.
In Southern Senegal, where there is more rain, there are mango trees and banana plants everywhere. This video shows central Senegal though, and most fruit trees are not viable here without irrigation. This project covers far too much land to irrigate. The acacia trees provide forage for livestock though, so they are still providing food for humans. The other dominant tree in this landscape, the baobab, produces food though. You can eat both the fruit and the leaves of the baobab.
Absolutely. They need variety for the people, livestock, but also because polycropping is good for restoring hydrology and soil. They need to start with pioneer trelivestock,
Pioneer trees are site-appropriate trees that fix nitrogen, get deep roots, supply food and livestock fodder as well. Mesquite is one of the good choices.
Fruit trees need more water than those trees. And they need a Richer soil. Let végétation grow first.
Women have a place to grow vegetables and fruits. But it's not in thé desertic area
@@lemokolyon
Depends on what kinds of fruit trees. Ones typically used in Europe would be problematic climate wise already. Native fruit trees are much better suited than many of the annual vegetable and grain crops usually planted, which are often more to prone failure.
Did you even watch the video?
Senegalese are amazing people. Good to see a video about people doing something positive to help themselves and make their land better, rather than all this climate change doom and gloom. Planning well and caring lovingly for the Earth and its resources really does make a big difference.
Yes, great people and work!
Actually, the Senegalese are helping white men green the desert. Did you watch the video, or discover who funds the project?
@@j.b.4340 If they’re greening the desert, what does it matter who’s funding it or who they’re doing it for? Deserts can’t support life.
Whoever is behind the project, reforestation is a great work and the efforts of the Senegalese are praiseworthy
What's so amazing about them?
WOOOOW.!!! My UTMOST respect for the people from Senegal that are willing to undertake this, almost abnormal task, of doing this.!!
I’m sure a lot of research is involved to see how things and plants are developing. Surely over time more plants will be added, and maybe plants that can benifit the people, and maybe also the life stock.
Just amazing.!
A positive step in the right direction.!
Compliments for the people of Senegal.
The European Union held their hand and made this project happen actually :)
These trees are chosen specifically because they’re highly drought tolerant. Fruit trees require irrigation and would not be suitable for these circumstances.
They should take a look at the Paani Foundation in India and their water harvesting technics. It raises the water table and enables villages to grow more of their food.
I believe this effort in the Sudan is far more motivated by exploitative pharmaceutical companies to exploit the conditions of this people to create cheap labor for harvesting. I do love what they are doing there in India where they are not imposing the crops that the community plants with the increased access to water.
There are equivalent water harvesting techniques being used. However at this scale I would prefer key line ploughing, it would treat more land at fraction of the manual labour
That is very good... Creating the line of trees will help keep the south feasible. Trees help create clouds ⛅️ and will keep the regions cooler....it might take 20 or 30 years but the efforts will be worth it.
Clearly this a bad project and very evil. We've seen plenty of these sand barrier projects in Africa. They're designed to waste the time, energy and resources of countries that are already experiencing problems. The only appropriate tree to plant in Africa is a fruit tree. We need food. Anyone calling for planting any other type of tree is a saboteur.
Also trees will be windbreakers. That is also important to create the micro climate
Baby - Trees don't create clouds. It's time to put down the crack pipe f f s
Respect to the people of Senegal....Fingers Crossed that this project succeeds 🤞
Thank you for leading the way, Senegal. You're working to improve the environmental condition of your own country but, in the end, we may ultimately discover that you're also helping to save us all.
The great thing about this is that the people are involved are the beneficiaries.

i grow in zone 9b. if you're planting acacia, and you live in a water starved area, you should consider planting oppuntia as well (prickly pear). Although invasive, you can protect saplings, and the cactus bodies act as water reservoirs. And because they vastly increase organic matter content of the soil, they bring in bacteria that help fix nitrogen.
Yeah, if you're planning on planting trees, its better to plant other local plants too, because it has survived thus far well. Also excessive herding is double-edged sword. It does bring manure to fields to renurture, but it won't be much of use if there are no plants to use it. Planning trips that would benefit herd and the fields would be significant in keeping up ground rooted and stock up moisture and avoid desertification.
Opuntia indica for great tasting fruits.
There are plenty of local suitable trees.
They were cut down and grazed away.
The major problem is those herds of animals not allowing land to recover. The huge problem is organising and controlling those herds.
Cattle can eat prickly pear
@@leelindsay5618They use a flame torch on prickly pear and livestock love it after that. They should plant carob trees because they never use any fertilzer they improve our soils and feed delicious high protein pods to us and livestock and need only scant rains.
So good to see men in military uniform carrying plants instead of guns.
Their camouflage works only if there are trees around
J'aime le Sénégal. Les gens, le paysage. C'est un des pays africain bien développer.
J'étais la comme jeune ingénieur et aujourd'hui ma femme est africaine. ❤❤❤❤❤
Bravoo Senegal for taking the lead, your success provides a freeway for other countries to follow through, Africa we Step
This is remarkable, congratulations. I hope there still more people who would get involved in these project. Big help for the people big help for the environment.
Well done Senegal... Continue the good work... May your efforts bear fruit
How wonderful to observe how people with insight and vision determination are doing what centuries ago have to happened. Bravo to all who participate in this glorious project.
Wishing great success to Senegal's efforts to become "greener". Filipino-American watching in Virginia, USA.
This Project has yielded very good results in a short time. Well done the Creators of *THE GREAT GREEN WALL* 💯✅🇺🇬
What these people is doing is so amazing. The green barrier is thousand of km n people from different countries doing it. All world leaders should turn the head n learn there is projects much more important than wars. This are projects for life n future. Are made it from love n future generations. CLEAN MENTALITYS DONE IT.
China has regreen a large part of Gobi désert on 4.500km x1500km. Billions of trees
@@lemokolyon And already lost billions because they still think they can rule nature by not only planting mono cultures but also the wrong trees.
@@Sagittarius-A-Star Exactly! China did it without careful planning because it then becomes a great publicity stunt for them.
@@lemokolyon They planted trees that could not even survive in Gobi desert. Nature is not something you can simply bribe to get good grades from.
Maybe it worked, with various results, on such a huge territory, but they learned and the result is here, a lots of trees has grown.
It is more succesful than the African expérience.
Well done to all involved in the green wall project 👏👏👏
Huge hat tip for planting the trees. There are many benefits associated with them.
Even better would be to add swales and other low spots to slow the runoff and increase the amount that infiltrates. Planting the rain is as important as planting the trees.
I know the people do it for the money. That is their drive. But you also have to take note of how much more beautiful your land has gotten. Don't give up and do it for future generations. Your livestock actually is thriving. You can be sure that in the long run, you probably won't have much of a hunger issue. That is when you will see money rolling in because you will have flourishing plantations to well breed farm animals. Keep it up and show the other African nations that it is very possible.
They also have to feed their families so I understand their plight.
You're right about the long term effects but we must never forget we need people to survive as well to see these long term effects.
Kudos to the Senagalese people.Your work is beautiful.
Very beautiful. We need this in all desert climates
wow !! i wish more initiatives like this that also take into account the community impact were being done in other parts of the world- especially in the US. amazing work :)
The desert came about largely because of two animals. Goats eat the Bottom half of trees and bushes and Camels eat the top half. Forbid those two animals and it is possible to re-green the desert.
The small trees are protected by fence. And must always be when grazing is involved. Grazing in general must be done in small enclosures for a short amount of time. The animals must be moved before all the grass is gone. Proper grazing helps regenerate. Overgrazing destroys any landscape, arid the most quickly. Better livestock management is possible now because of lightweight electric fencing.
You are forgetting another bigger factor: Cows are heavy and trample the soil hard after eating up all of the seasonal grass. More of Africa is Savanna grassland, not forest.
Some deserts are natural and actually necessary.
@@kemitamenophis3221cattle when managed properly are one of the best tool on earth for what they are trying to do.
I salute these people for their hard work!
A proud Senegalese here!
The key thing is to prevent all the rainfall running straight off the baked and compacted soil. Just Diggit is doing a great job achieving this in East Africa.
Great that this is being worked on. Anyone else noticed school was limited to boys, even thought there seem to be enough room in the classroom? As for the great green wall wishing it to continue and that more countries take it on.
This is a project worthy of our support. I just came across it, never knew this was happening.
It is vital here to have grazing management. The grass needs to be eaten in one day then left to regrow for a month, or whatever time is needed due to temperature and moisture. That is far more productive than constant grazing which eventually kills grass , exposes soil, and leads to loss of soil. It is also vital to get rid of camels. They eat every living thing and CREATE the deserts! Goats are almost as bad, moving to sheep and cattle would help tremendously. This is a fantastic project and would be great to see all over the world in arid land.
Yes, sheeps and cows are good. Also sheeps wool can be reused in hot summer for various mattresses, or covers to make an useful shade from hot sun. I think it would be good to donate sewing and weaving tools for those who wish to take care of sheep.
There are camels in Asia that make excellent wool and are a vital fertilizer to manage the Asian grasslands. Cattle and Sheep and goats are European imports that must be artificially fed imported hay and grain. Camels can eat cactus with spines and have been in Africa from the beginning of creation
Beautiful people working hard to treat their land the best they can. Now helping it make a come back.
Excellent project. This will have only positive affects on those children in the future, anyone who has nothing positive to say, don't bother. Nothing is perfect but if they don't hold back the desert they'll have no future. ❤
i always felt like if we just did it consistently. little by little, year after year we could turn every desert into a vast field of green
that would be disastrous, but we can shrink deserts to more mangeable levels
No, it's just impossible. Greenery requires water, that's why deserts exist in the first place. Hot wind will suck out every trace of moisture.
Did you see what that single guy did in Australia desert. It looked like put west cowboy movie set. No trees just sand hills. After fifty years it looked like the english countryside. Very green.with ponds and creeks. It must have been very satisfying for that man to see what he did with his own imagination to reality.
@@constancegreiner906
Yes but that was a man made desert. Where he was used to be farms.
It’s still an amazing achievement.
Meanwhile …
ruclips.net/video/Cvc7VymDa4c/видео.htmlsi=qKTHLgMkbS3j5GUY
There are places in the Atacama desert where it rains less than once per decade.
Deserts have expanded in recent decades due to human action, mostly overgrazing, and that can and should be reversed but most desert areas simply receive too little water to ever be able to support a different kind of ecosystem.
God bless these men!!!More blessings to these people working hard planting trees for everybody's benefit.
Respect to those people living in this kind of environment and still fighting for greater greener 🙏🙏🙏 🇧🇩
Wow..my beautiful African people keep doing good and God will bless us!!

Kudos to Senegal for this sustainable project. This is a great way to thrive by planting trees, fruits, vegetables, flowers and root crops. Keep it up and God bless.❤
Do plantations in the form of a bee hive. Area should be divided as is in a hive in different cell. Where one cell is planted and the next cell is kept empty. Keep in mind that Where plantation is done it should be very dense and the empty should be kept absolutely empty. And try to keep atleat 25 varieties of local fauna. The empty areas can be used to keep the livestock. One acre should be divided into 4 cells each . After only 10 years you will see a forest growing in front of you. Contouring should be done properly. I can see in the video that the land appears to flat. Each cells should have different heights. The plantation and the empty cells have different heights. The empty ones should be high by atleast 2 feet. After each monsoon the necessary correction should be made
I love watching videos like these! Best wishes to these people!!
Hope everything will succeed in the best way! Great job! Greetings from Ecuador
These people need to be empowered with knowledge about permaculture, water management, drainage and irrigation
its the local people's know-how that was used to regrow it. 🤙🏽 🌱 🌳 🌾 they had the knowledge of how to grow BUT NO THE COMMITMENT for Senegal. FOR A LACK OF A BETTER WORD: individuals have to be indoctrinated to do a 'state-project'.
- have people from a small age pledge alliance to a land or flag
-have individuals say/sing national anthem
-make the country flag; something to revere
......... so Senegal re-educate all the youth of 'THE GREEN WALL; even in "free school' that is the education you get.
IF COUNTRIES did not do this. every land would be temporarily nomadic. people will pack up and leave without recognizing the hard border between lands. humans live on a individual bases
you have to indoctrinate HOW important is family.
you have to indoctrinate HOW important is community
you have to indoctrinate HOW important is local land or local economy
you have to indoctrinate HOW important is a country ........to them
..................otherwise EACH human will make decision on what is best for them
Wonderful, so informative & wish them all the best, un monde vert, et merci beaucoup.
Proud of my motherland 🇸🇳❤️😍
The only wall i;ve ever seen that I could whole heartedly approve of. OUTSTANDING. Liked and subscribed,
This project is truly inspirational.
I love Africa.
So much POTENTIAL, it's mind-blowing.
They're WIDE OPEN for the wealth of knowledge the world possesses
to come and test their learning theories there.
I love the humble people.
As if there is no knowledge in Africa. This is an ignorant comment.
@@metro-sn "YOU" say that, not me.
My comment was simply in favor of upgrading Africa's infrastructure to match the people's drive to improve themselves.
This will pay dividends. I suspect the neighbouring countries are going to feel pretty stupid for not planting when they see how much better off Senegal is.

If Africa could get rid of corruption, they would be the king of the world. Amazing and rich continent with great people. I hope Senegal will continue their efforts, understanding that only them can help themself with their own hands, and hopefully avoid all the mistakes we made in developed countries too. Courage!
Great video thanks.
A great initiative. All the best
Love great news like this
Fantastic initiative!! Go, Senegal, Go. Your neighboring countries will see your success and follow. Very impressive.
GOD bless this great project.❤❤❤
When Buhari came to power in Nigeria hopes were high that he'll do something concrete about the inceasing desertification that affects the North of Nigeria. Rather, he was more fixated on the senseless venture of re-establishing cattle route that existed in the 50s and 60s
Thanks to educated French (?) gentlemen and others who are doing these projects helping people in Africa. Hope young people from other African, developed countries and China join these project
The French overlord you mean?
French dont do anything other than looting, killing robbing
@@rojanjacob I mean ordinary people who dedicate their lives for others and has nothing to do with politics and governments.
@@rojanjacobSenegal used to be a French colony, hence the use of French as one of the national languages, but it’s now an independent nation. He’s not an “overlord”; he’s using his expertise to help them make their land better. Stop being so cynical.
It’s become fashionable to bash the French for their colonial ties to Africa, thanks to Russian and Chinese influence…they are the ones to be wary of….
What a promising beginning for Senegal. To not only plant this Great Green Wall, but to consider and continue to support the herders, encourage gardening among the women - giving 'them' the means to help support their children alongside their husbands, and take into account the effects of this great change on the environment, insects and health. All at the same time. This type of holistic planning is so rare in the world today.
Just hope that other nations surrounding Senegal stop bickering for 5 minutes, see the fruits of their neighbour's labour and realise that they should be doing the same instead of fighting over scraps and religion.
I like their resolve and determination!
They dont need "advice" or "encouraging" comments!
The commenters with goodwill must be blessed!
God bless you African people.
Trying to do this in one of the most unstable regions, especially several specific countries, was a big brain idea
typical EU moneypit project
should we have done the project to protect the sahel from the encroaching sahara desert in... North Dakota? Nobody can decide what countries the Sahel passes through
To plant mushrooms in combination with the acacia trees, is very valuable informatiion. A very interesting video. Thanks.
Multi national oil companies should pay a small premium for this project & other like it. 10 cent per barrel would be enough to get this and other such projects done within a decade. It wouldn’t be a problem for those companies even if they pass it on to the consumers.
Planting mesquite trees can help along with prickly pear cactus.
-- The area in this video looks like the land has 15% tree cover. It would probably do better with 50% tree cover.
-- The trees that die should be mulch up. Long mulch pikes between trees help with soul moisture retention.
-- Elongated rock piles (like gravel) makes good on soil moisture retention.
-- And tiling the dry grass underground help fertilize the soil and retain moisture.
All good ideas that don't cost much compared to huge budgets in Western nations. Imagine if some of the resources used for war could be committed to this project in Africa. A few billion dollars (1% of war budget) would construct dozens of tree nurseries (there are 7 now), pay hundreds of thousands of people for several years, and construct hundreds of miles of wall in several nations. People worry about corruption, so an international organization could be founded, designed in partnership w/ Senegal. Of course few question massive corruption in the weapons trade which gets 100x funding.
The first idea is not good, they should not introduce invasive species, and there are enough native species that can do the same job.
And also that amount of three coverage is natural for the region, more trees aren't necessarily better, and as you see in the mushroom animation, the trees need a wide area around them, to get enough water per tree.
@@Aoderic Yes and no!
-- Mesquite trees and prickly pear cactus have introduced to deserts in South Africa with amazing results. (sometimes adding an introduced species provides more benefit than harm if the organisms can live/work in harmony with each other)
-- True trees should be or could be spaced out. But keep in mind the +process* of re-greening the desert is a Step By Step Process. Each step if done in the right order would benefit the next step, then eventually lead to the desired goal.
-- Considering Sahara desert is a harsh environment, getting rid of the mesquite trees would not be that difficult.
-- Most of all, the Main objective is to provide ground cover - help soil with *moisture retention*, stabilize soil, and fertilize the soil.
@@DanielWatson-vv7cd True that they have been introduced to Southern Africa, but they are actually considered an invasive species, and only tolerated in certain areas.
They are not welcomed at all in national parks, and great effort have been made to remove them. We cleared an area of invasive species including several cacti, when I stayed in Botswana in 2003.
I do completely agree with your objective, but I will maintain that it can and should be done with native species.
@@Aoderic Even if you all are going to go with the native specimens -- that's great also.
The main thing is soul preparation - providing adequate amount of ground cover - soil moisture retention.
This is best done in different stages. Like having 90% tree cover 1st., later 70% tree cover, then eventually 20% like I seen in the video.
Some land/environments are so harsh you can't successfully start off with grazing pasture, must be prepped to be a self sustaining ecosystem.
And usually roots, dead or alive, of trees and shrubs work better than grasses and plants.
Cactuses and shrubs would provide food and shelter during dry seasons too
It's so soothing seeing the desert turn Green.
RUclips tried to push my feed forward and push past this segment. Nice. Glad I went back. ❤
Thank you! Feeling's mutual!
I would plant cactus pears. Desert plants that yield delicious fruit, edible leaves and livestock feed. One hectare can yield100 tons of cattle feed for the dry season.
No, they should not introduce invasive species, and there are enough native species that can do the same job.
It's extremely important that tree planting is done with great diversity! In other places they have only planted one species and it went very wrong. Please spread this information
This is amazing- good job to all involved!
Very interesting and a good enjoyable watch. Thank you for posting 🤗
Beautiful Africa please save Africa please support entair europian people funding this beautyful program it's our responce bility Love from INDIA 💕❤️💖💜
I think the "mushrooms" they were talking about was really mycorrhizal fungi.
All they need to make that is to compost leaves and corrugated cardboard (carbons -> make the healthy fungi) along with nitrogens (urine, food scraps -> makes health bacterias). Then you can make a compost tea which will be loaded with these organisms (soak the finished compost for a few days) and pour that tea on each tree.
What a beautiful thing you did to your place. Planting vegetation for the people and animals to survive. Vegetation also changed the temperature.
This is awesome. I'm glad to see people actually doing something and not just talking about it. God bless you all
I'm curious that they don't seem to be using water management systems, such as swales or dug holes. Seems like it would be an important step to regenerating the ground aquifers and reducing water scarcity.
Great project.
Two ideas to optimize it.
•200 km canal 16 meters wide to bring desalinated water from the coast to the interior.
Also for boats (electric) to transport goods.
Using innovative technology to produce hydrogen from seawater and thus desalinate seawater.
• Creating rain clouds by desalinating seawater and allowing rain to fall over dry areas using cloud seeding.
It can boost the green environment and more cattle and agri-culture.
Terrible idea, where would they get all of that desalinated water? Desalination of water is very energy intensive, they would need an immense amount of energy, and they barely have enough already to supply households. What you are sugesting are unfeasible fantasies, they may sound nice, but just aren't practical.
Thanks Senegalese people. You're an example to the world! 🖖💚🌳🌴🌿
This is really motivational and i wish them the best of luck. Great work Senegal

This area would be a prime candidate for Terra Preta. A little bit of effort would produce results for 1000+ years
I don’t believe we know the methods to recreate Terra Preta. But your right it would be an interesting experiment.
@Vinniesahota actually, we do. It is raw charcoal, terracotta pottery and manure/human excrement. Mix in a pit and back fill. Then let the plants and microbes do the rest.
Prayers for going forward and being such a great example.
It is good see something positive among all the bad news . Thanks for the video
they need to wake up and build pounds for water like they do in India.
