Rolling Back the Desert in Senegal

- In Senegal, where farming employs 70% of the population, desertification and land erosion have led to food insecurity. This video shows how researchers supported by the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa program worked with farmers to identify and implement farming strategies that protect against further desertification and improve yields under these new conditions.
Produced by A24 Media, this is part of a series of six videos on research supported by CCAA.
The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa research and capacity development program (2006-2012) was a joint initiative of Canada's International Development Research Centre and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID).

6 years later, the place should be completely green, what’s the update?
rain...rain...heavy rains...heavenly...continuously...
Shalom...
Wonderful video. I heard the narrator mention that they have planted some lemon trees. But I wonder if they have been encouraged to plant any other fruit trees like mango, avocado or even the shea nut trees?

best wishes for success to the people of Senegal!
1:50 that is why you have no rain, you have to plant trees
Jup! Big enough forests hold water and create rain! And they guide water from water bodies to the inland!
To stop the deserts spreading I have just seen a simple and successful Chinese video that shows them using a system on their sandy deserts called the Straw "checkerboard" method. I can't see why it can't be used elsewhere.
can you send a link to this video than please?
thank you
Great work Senegal
Plant more jujube trees Adirachta Indica ( Neem)Mahogany and juniper and plum trees
Grazing animals have to be managed carefully. They eat saplings, preventing new trees from growing. Ask Scotland, their sheep have f*cked up their country. It's good to see you guys putting forth the effort to plant new trees. If you can dig large areas for seasonal rainwater to collect, that would be great. That could help carry you through the dry months.
Yes, Scotland is in the process of regreening the country. They are planting millions of trees but it takes time. Australia is the same way. You can check their progress on TH-cam. Their rivers have dried up and their grasslands have been disseminated by sheep. All of these countries are coming to the realization that trees are the answer and they are planting millions of them. I just feel that they should plant more fruit trees. People are less inclined to cut down a fruit tree. And they can eat the fruit in times of famine.
The Scots and the English cut down all the trees. Nothing to do with the livestock or wild life. Just dumb ass Humans. This is what happens when people lie and call everything climate change. Senegal doesn't have climate change either. They have a stupid human problem just like half the world...
Collecting seeds important too.
We need to change things now!
You need to restore the natural vegetation with native trees and shrubs! And stop overgrazing by goats and sheep!
+Another Tex Agreed! Allan Savory's Holistic Resource Management book and his video on TH-cam. Just enter
There where grazing animals in the Sengal dessert. but not goat and sheep. Animals like antilope, gazels and maybe even elefants and rhinoceros.
Grazing animals eat the saplings, preventing new trees from growing. Scotland has had this problem with their sheep. They finally had to fence off areas so that the trees could get to a certain height before letting them graze for a while, then they start the process over again.
earth has too many people, greed, overpopulation
@@user-mo3du9eb5o Not where the land is marginal and there is little opportunity for regeneration. Even in countries with plentiful pasture, grazing herds are moved from field to field,
is it due to climate change or is it the destruction of the trees and lack of watershed management?
Those days of foreign food aid are not going to end anytime soon!
What is the name of this trees?
Sadio Manē
Stopping population growth must be another tactic too stopping poverty, along with a sensible economic approach. Not neoliberalism free markets.
He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought. (Al-Quran, Surah An-Nahl: 10-11)

we need to plant more trees
thats y the rain not coming
plant more tress
No, it's not climate change. It's deforestation. People cut trees and use woods for houses and firewood. Please get it right. Instead of cutting trees, is there any way the Senegalese villagers can access to gas cylinder or even bio-gas for energy source?
In case u didnt know, deforestation leads to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting in the global warming
Well,gas sylinder cost money genius n they have to be refilled. These people can barely afford to eat.its not poor villagers cutting a tree down which leads to deforestation but cutting down trees in massive scale for industrial purposes
@Wisepersonsay, you get the desertification because you cut down all the trees and thus you get climate change.
deforestation contributes to climate change.
Look up -The Giant Bamboo grows to hundereds of feet and bigger than a tree
And???
How do we know human came to senegal 350000 years ago.... ???
Md.Rony Rasal it’s complete bull shit, it they call it “science”. No evidence. Just bull shit.
Zero budget natural farming in english is the answer to all.find on google and you tube
1:50 who will cut tree? We record you. Lol
Go to Savoury institute to study about holistic management technique of land together with live stock. I do not see any livestock around. I think Allan Savoury can change your desert land into productive agriculture land.
Say what you mean not political BS. Speak, you mean the warming of the climate and deforestation of areas by people.
Their own ignorance contributed greatly to their problems
None of these people speak the local language wolof they speak a mixture of broken French. In fact 80 % of the words they use are French words. it's a shame they have lost their traditional language wolof. They have become the true victims of colonization.
