Regreening the Sahel

[Infinite Chaos]

The great green wall from Senegal to Kenya is being built slowly and steadily but this looks like it will work. I've personally seen some of the previous attempts (importing Eucalyptus trees) that actually made things worse but this actually looks like it will be a success.

I think date palms and a few other trees are part of those plans as well.
