Farmers across the entire African continent are turning dry, rugged desert into productive farms covered with trees. Their tactics are simple but effective, allowing nature to regenerate itself while still providing food and economic opportunities for the local communities.

Love this! I’m glad to hear some positive environmental news for a change
it's comforting how something so unassuming like rock walls and holes can do so much
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,
Space exploration brings us a great deal of innovation that is useful here on earth - from insulation for homes and advancement of solar cell technology to the artificial limbs. If we wanted to change something about us - curiosity and the desire to learn more about the universe is not where I'd make the cut.
Because the Desert have there own government and they are not Permeted to transform the Desert by the government who coverd the area of Desert
Stealing billions of dollars is what’s really going on. searching for life in mars was the excuses they need and keeping people poor for easier control of population.
The enemy of earth is ignorant people . Finding new territory to farm is not bad and the efforts and lessons learned in Africa Sahel area can be used in other planet when we as a spieces colonize other planets .
The desert doesn’t provide a lot lol and we spend billions on space exploration because getting off this rock is important too and because it provides us with countless technological advances.
New Wren video!! Been waiting and this was well worth it :)
Hey as always great documentary and just all-round Fantastic video
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.
I have noticed every place that Arabs settled it is always a desert and was not sure why, thanks alot for the explanation
This is the whole truth Arabs don't honor nature. In Kenya they destroyed all mangrove forests and rain forests along coasts during the reign of the Ottomans until the government re located the land they grabbed back to locals who are now planting trees and regenerating forests.
They are the ones who created the sahara, yes, from morocco to india. And you can see the results of this satanist race, on their faces.
Amazing story and it deserves so much attention!! Bravo!!
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.
thanks for the video, excellent presentation
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.
Best success - worthy project
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.
Fantastic video, just looked at your website good work 👌
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.
You have to understand that this is the same here in france. Almost everything is exported and we are left with fruits and veggies coming from all over the world.
This is worldwide, they make money with disorder, exportation of foods, products and humans too.
Its up to locals leaders to make policies and decisions promoting local produce, abd in some cases, banning the import of selected produce. This works everywhere.
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.
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.
this is so cool!!
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
great video! Do you believe Vertical Farming is needed to nurture all of Humanity by 2030?
What about using drip irrigation if possible. Tree planting is only successful when it is watered and cleaned for by people.
Thank you for the content 👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have they thought about introducing beavers?
I don't know if you're joking but beavers are incredible vectors of regeneration when used in rivers.
No jokes here at all, that’s why I asked if there was any thought of introducing beavers.
@@aismith1993 yeah def not sure what they could do for the desert but if there are water bodies nearby they might be able to help
Mayhaps they should create cannals from their northern oceanic facing borders, and force it southward.
People can change if they want.
💚
good job African
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
Why not? Desalination works in the Gulf and Canary Islands. And on a small scale you can trap moisture with plastic
Not soon, Somali culture is like Arab culture (since both are Middle Easterners), they don't honor environment. Somalia was green before massive deforestation that was done by Somali
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!!
