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.
Fake news. Ocean covers 71% of earth surface. They are talking about turning the desert green by water from land to atmosphere recycling. Rain comes from water evaporation. The water from land evaporate to become clouds, the clouds spread throughout atmosphere due to wind and dispersion. When the rain comes down again, 71% of the rain would land in the ocean. That is a net loss of 71% of the water evaporated from the ground. Eventually you will have a desert because the water that evaporates from the ground, every time you only get 29% coming down as rain on the ground.
@@conormcmenemie5126 There seems to be a lot of activity in Senegal because that nation is committed to the Great Green Wall and has active funding & programs. This reduces the risk that work gets undone by political change or military activity. Unfortunately, the US gov would rather exploit Africa and use it as a geopolitical pawn instead of aiding in development. So Senegal it is. Pray the project extends Eastward.
There is work in saltwater agriculture in Southern Spain. Simply planting halophytes, or salt-tolerant crops, and flooding areas with seawater turns a desert into a lush saltwater marsh. Humans can get 4x the biomass per acre of soy, while the land is still habitat for wild animals. All of coastal Africa, Spain, Europe, and the Middle East should be figuring out ways to farm these saltwater marshes.
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.
really good job ecosia keep going im glad u always look at the social part and it gives a sense of relief that this planet is not dying, people are actually trying to save her
Incredible work. Very inspiring to see the local communities come together and take ownership of the project. Shoutout to the Green Men, your work is so important!
Of course we need to listen to women and kids! If it's available in French and Wolof, it would be so nice to promote your work in all the country. So much to do to protect the environment here in Senegal. Thank you for your work!
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
Thank you Ecosia, for doing what is right rather than what is easy. Truly a group of light workers-- those who devote their lives to serving humanity & our sacred Mother Earth. And thank you for allowing other light workers (myself included) such an easy yet profound way to live out their mission xo
Bravo to all the people involved in this project from: NGO, VOLUNTEERS, THE COMMUNITY, HERDERS..etc, job well done. We the senegambian people can’t thank you enough.👏🏿
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.
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!
At this point I'd love to see anything that Fátima would make for us, that's how good she is at being a producer and a host! ♥ It's not only because I have a slight crush, but I've been watching documentaries from many reputable companies, but this is just perfectly done!
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.
If you are interested in sharing your talk with Oumou/her story, I would definitely be interested in learning about her perspective! Thank you so much for all the work you do to protect our planet (:
Cool effort that makes use of permaculture principles. Goats are responsible for so many denuded landscapes especially in the middle east where they are a staple.
i love seeing before and afters. hard to imagine such harsh landscape going green...amazing after a bit of digging how much rainwater collected can help
Yes more information would be good (regarding the other interviews, which would could be valuable information) and seems to have been gathered. Please allow us their perspective.
Yes, I want to hear the woman’s view of the situation. Also, I love love love the work you’re doing there, and the people!! So beautiful, made my year.
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.❤🙏🏻💐🌹
You could try adding dried cowdung pieces to the soil in the pit when planting the trees, it will retain even more water and make it available to the plant that is planted in the pit.
You are doing a great f*cking job Fatima! Yes it's hot, it's dry, there are so many opinions and thousands of hectares. This is not easy at all, but you are doing it. Remember: 'If you are going through hell, keep going'.
I'd love to see yearly follow-ups on your projects, too. Also, do you work together with academia to measure the impact on habitat, local climate, farming, economy and population of the villages? Surely, this would be very interesting to find out about, too.
Hi there! Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We're looking into following up more regularly on projects for ya'll. As for your question, we do work with academia in some areas but look into details beyond tree-planting in a yearly "impact report" where we look into people's well-being, employment of local communities etc. Cheers!
Porteurs d'espoir ! Le plus beau, le plus noble des métiers ! Changer la vie des gens et la vision qu'ils ont de leur monde ! Concrétiser les projets et changer les images que nous (en occident), pouvons avoir de loin ! Nous rendre espoir et la validation que chaque geste compte ! Ensemble, vous êtes tellement magnifiques, nous sommes tellement plus efficaces🤩😍🥰🌱🐏🥔🥕🏝
Thank you for highlighting the objective reality and importance of environmental sustainability. To be honest I don't blame Kamea Chayne host of Green Dreamer podcast for her criticisms of mainstream environmentalism.
Amazing work that you do. Thank god there are people like you. One thing I dont't understand though: From what I understand one of the main reasons for the decay is the overgrazing of the cattle? What happens when the fences are moving on? Aren't the goats going to overgraze again?
Hey Martin! Thanks for your question! After the first 2-3 years saplings are usually able to survive some nibbling here and there from the goats. Plus, the bushes we plant around them help with added protection even when the fence is gone. Hope this answers your question! cheers and thanks for watching!
what you guys are doing is amazing
💛 Thanks for the support (and for watching!)

Umu’s story is just as important as is interesting
... totally, water is life, etc., etc.
5:08 Another video would be great. Let her voice, her experience, and her passion be heard! 💚
Agreed, would love to see it!
Yes please
I would love to listen to Umu’s story !! ❤❤
Yessss
Same!
yeah it sounds interesting
Es ist erstaunlich, dass es tatsächlich eine Organisation geschafft hat, mit einem solchen Auftrag so groß zu werden. Seid stolz auf euch.
Danke Dir
I think lots of folks would love to hear what Oumuo has to share! Appreciate the work you do lifting up these voices and communities.
I am glad to see you work. Thanks so much for making this world a better place.
Thanks for watching and for supporting Ecosia. It's with your searches that we do this!
❤
I live in central Spain and I'd love to see some projects like this take off here. One day I'd like to have a permaculture food forest.

"BuT iT's ClImAtE cHaNgE" meanwhile they are overgrazing their lands... simple as that.
Hopefully soon will also sprout the love of togetherness in the barren deserts of our hearts. Thanks Ecosia for raising hope to the world.
really good job ecosia keep going im glad u always look at the social part and it gives a sense of relief that this planet is not dying, people are actually trying to save her
We're in it together. Djibil, Oumou, Samba, the Ecosia community and millions more! Big hugs from Berlin!
I would totally like an update in 5 Years on this. This is amazing.
Incredible work. Very inspiring to see the local communities come together and take ownership of the project. Shoutout to the Green Men, your work is so important!
You are a beacon of hope for the world. So encouraging to see the land being restored.
i have been an ecosia member for 2 years now and thank you for doing what others won't.
thank you for what you do for my country❤
Thanks for watching
Amazing work! I love the casual humor and silliness here and there in the video. It's important to enjoy the work as well!
Thanks for watching and for appreciating the silliness

Love back
Loved the Homme Vert! 😆 Very cinematic, very cool. It's great to see the people and community having fun!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!!
This video made my day so much better and brighter
💛
Love Ecosia, been searching with you since before 2020. I would love to see the story of the woman at the water well on screen at 5:15.
Yes, love to hear her story
Great stuff as always. Happy to support you every day by using ecosia, and I am once more motivated to spread the word about it.
Amazing work! I love watching these longer videos and it motivates me to do more planting in my immediate area
That’s wonderful to hear!
If you are interested in sharing your talk with Oumou/her story, I would definitely be interested in learning about her perspective! Thank you so much for all the work you do to protect our planet (:
Thank you for the great video, and thanks to all doing this important work.
Cool effort that makes use of permaculture principles. Goats are responsible for so many denuded landscapes especially in the middle east where they are a staple.
10:25 dam! Didn’t see that coming. We appreciate all the hard work you put on our planet. God bless ya all!!❤❤❤
In many countries coming up these projects!
The green belt in Sahel, Gobi and East Africa... it's so great!! ❤❤❤❤
Great work Fatima and the team did a great job engaging the locals which can be a big obstacle to change! Amazing!
Thanks for the lovely words 💛

Thank you so much ! Can't wait for the moment where the exponential curve of life regeneration start to be visible there for everyone
Unlike the wwf browser, yours is good enough for me to switch to it permanently
🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for all you do.
You could try adding dried cowdung pieces to the soil in the pit when planting the trees, it will retain even more water and make it available to the plant that is planted in the pit.
Yes, a message of hope. Well done all of the people involved.
You are doing a great f*cking job Fatima! Yes it's hot, it's dry, there are so many opinions and thousands of hectares. This is not easy at all, but you are doing it. Remember: 'If you are going through hell, keep going'.
Yes, please tell Umu' story in a video. Would love to see it.
This is the way to go. What a great project.
I love Ecosia, and have used you for many many years.
Well in that case, thanks for helping us and Hommes et Terre get this far. Cheers and thanks for watching, too!
More of these video's please!
Music to our ears!
After a year you can already see the river basin that feeds the small pond! very cool!
this is a project i have been dreaming of since i was a child, finally someone is doing something🥰
Fantastic video. It’s so good to know these sorts of projects are happening. Really impressive.
Hats off! Great job, mates! Together, we can make a difference!!
Love and respect from India! 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Yay. You're back
Você pode usar garrafas de plástico nos canteiros...para armazenar água da chuva e manter o solo úmido.
Awesome project! The before and after was also quite stunning :)!
Thank you! Cheers! 💛
This is so cool! Tree planting done right! A video about Umu would be great!
I'd love to see yearly follow-ups on your projects, too.
Also, do you work together with academia to measure the impact on habitat, local climate, farming, economy and population of the villages? Surely, this would be very interesting to find out about, too.

merci beaucoup pour vos actions, vous êtes incroyable, ne lâchez rien
Hommes de Terre is doing great work 💙✌️ Thanks for the coverage Ecosia. I would love to hear about the water scarcity story.
Amazing work in Senegal, keep it up.
Amazing video quality loved it from start to finish. Super interesting. Keep the good work going!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback
Changing my browser to Ecosia is the best decision I've ever made

Adorei o novo formato de vídeo!
Bieeeeen :)
Fatima and Melissa who’s most crazy ? May your work come to success forever and ever 🙏🏻
💛💛💛
I use ecosia at school
How deep do those roots go? would adding some biochar make a significant change
Love the green men segment!:D I’m sure everyone agrees we’d love to hear Umu’s story and point of view too.
Thank you so much! What you are doing is hope giving
Thanks for the educational video and your important work!
Ecosia team, do you have a plan for restoring the microbiome and could you do a video on it?
Hats off to your team . And best wishes to the African people.
I loved this video, the nature and all the people in it. And yes please, I would love to see a video about Oumou´s story.
Thanks for watching
Wow well done everyone! Thats a marathon effort!
💛💛

can‘t wait to support your project with our music 💚
Tell us more!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this
Really intrresting to learn about how the trees are growing and why there's no watering.
Also, love the presentation of ✨️ The Green Man ✨️ 😂
Very inspiring. Thank you for your work.
Work is simply superb
