Handling water and plants in the desert is really something valuable. Hope large areas of the Negev can be planted, that would be awesome making fertile land in that waste land
Im from somalia. We have gone through a desertification process that needs to be reversed. I hope one day we will use this techniques to overcome desertification. Because of the situation in my country its impossible now. So keep researching.Thank you.
The only problem is that planting trees here wont work. The only thing that will work is to bring back the grasslands that's used to be by using massive amounts of livestock managed properly, the science behind this can be found in the 4 ecosystem process and you will realize that livestock is the only way you can address these degrading processes, which HAS to be taken into consideration when one is about to regenerate an ecosystem. If you really care for the planet, you should be open minded to this and find this approach interesting to study. If you are going to vilify it, your ego is in charge of you
The swales on contours used here are excellent but I noticed that there's no use of mulch which would not only further conserve moisture but also help to build the soil and increase fertility.

Done it,in my small garden I have a plum tree and now a apple tree these are semi dwarf trees,most people can have a dwarf tree.Collectively this would make a difference,share the fruit with your friends and family !
I do so, trying to plant out trees every day, every year, during the Autumn and Winter months in Scotland. It's somewhat exasperating at times - as we currently have far too many deer and they eat so many different types of trees. But it's a learning experience (and I figure out which species browsers don't like as I go along). There's nothing greater than looking up at a 30ft tree and thinking - I grew that from a tiny seed the size of a pinhead.
The answer to that question depends on the rainfall and soil quality (amongst other factors). It's hard to give an accurate estimate with so many variables.
The conservation of trees is important. Wild Life Conservation of trees is also important. Thank you for sharing this video. Excellent Content. Thought provoking conservation topics.Great footage. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Planting trees in the desert, you show that it cane be done. Thank you. There is an invention which lets you grow trees in the desert without irrigation. This is called the Waterboxx. It is invented by a Dutch inventor called Pieter Hoff from a company called Groasis. Maybe this Waterboxx could be used in the arid environments of 1srael.
yes that is a great invention I think he has done keyline design as well which can store water from rain. i think we need to do combination of waterboxx with keyline design

Since they are the wrong type for the wrong climate I'm sure they are pretty much all dead. But it's not the planting that's important, it's the money the JNF gets that counts.
They need a better name. It has to be tiring saying KKL-JNF :-D. So basically they're contouring the hydrophobic desert into swales etc and allow the water to stay on the land longer and eventually soak in. Not a bad idea at all. I love seeing all the different techniques being employed to green the deserts.
Regardless of what you think about the Palestine/Israel issue, what they are doing is brilliant, sequestering CO2, reversing the desert making the land more hospitable to life.
A problem with mass plantings everywhere is that only one or a very few different types of trees are planted. When disease hits, most of the trees are lost in that kind of tree. Plantings should be of every sort of tree feasible in any given area where they can grow. Through diversity of trees, wildlife does much better. Where only one or a few kinds of trees are planted, food sources for birds and other wildlife often do not do well. I don't know about what kind of trees are being planted here, but the pictures all looked the same. I will look it up and see what it is from the comments.
When there are trees, birds show up to make nest. When they defecate, out comes out seeds from species of plants from food they ate elsewhere. Pretty soon, new plants are growing in the shade provided by the trees. This is how remote volcanic islands in the Pacific end up with vegetation.
Jacques Gauthier Exactly. And many many species lay dormant even in the he most arid desert, trees and shrubs included. Obviously ecological diversity helps, but you need a few fast growing, deep rooting species maturing at different heights, and species that are prone to catching dew and are mulching a lot, so mychoriza and other mycelia can form. You have to establish single species of extremely dry-hardy trees and grasses to begin building wind breaks, canopy's and shades, before you can sustain most other species. You basically need to establish a carbon based body that absorbs and retains enough water that it reaches a thermal stability where the evaporation creating Zeer's cooling effect compensates in water retention by condensation equal or more than the mass evaporated. This is why mulching with organic "waste", swaling and some inutial irrigation are great strategies for boosting reforestation efforts. Nature is its own catalyst. Recommend watching "what does plants talk about" and some 101 on permaculture.
True comments, Lynn. But do google Pando, the huge genetically identical forest in Utah and listen to a podcast about it. Every area needs its unique solution, but of course, bio diversity is ideal.
there is no hunger problem today there is enough food produced in the western civilizations to feed the whole planet. the lack is love as a whole in the world we can use allot more of worldly love.we need to plant more trees out of love to earth.and not just because we can exploit it.we need trees to support and better the oxygen in the atmosphere. there is so much deforestation going on. we need the reforestation surpass it!
That would be amazing. A potential problem though is that people would want to clear it and plow it up. Then after a few decades of production it would be desert again. This kind of "farmland" would need to be strictly permaculture with no tillage, very carefully managed grazing, and minimal water extraction with a strict eye on the water table.
at the begging pine trees were most commonly planted but now when we are more aware of biodiversity they plant more different types of trees. eculyptuses were also commonly planted but i dont think they plant them anymore. In the desert however they plant in limans (mini lakes in the desert) not pine trees, but acacia, tamarix trees and others , check the wikipedia page the main species are written there
We need these guys here in Santa Cruz Bolivia... we are fighting a huge forest fire that has already wiped out a milliion hectares of forest in the last weeks. I there a posibility you guys could come to help reforest the chiquitania which is part of the amazon?
A good, logical and informative narrative, and we especially liked the "Anaheim" aerial of a single person, planting a tree in a bare landscape. Very dramatic to the eye, as were the limans, as well. We understand even the Negev has subsurface water, and might serve as a model for reclaiming the entire Sahara (after a fashion). And while the Sahara never will be the savannah it once was, properly maintained vegetation will prove a lifeline, especially with advancing global warming. Post-production has a problem with audio level-- much too loud for the background guitar music and narrator. When we increase volume level to hear the KKL resource persons, we are blown away by the resumption of guitar and narrator.
You can see in India thar deserts where they dig trenches and thevrain water collected in pools creating the green areas and after two years they turned into green forests...
Such outstanding work. You guys really lead the way in water conservation on the planet. Wish you'd help us in South Africa. Strength to strength. I'll bet you look after your old people in the same way. With deep respect.
wow this a traditional water consevation method experienced for many years here in Ethiopia especially in sothern Ethiopia! u can come and get experience!
Katrian Wira I believe these and more that I found on a KKL website. The encouragement of local varieties of bushes and shrubs such as thorny saltwort (Noaea mucronata), distaff thistle (Atractylis comosa), mitnan / hairy thymelaea (Thymelaea hirsuta) and Arabian Boxthorn (Lycium shawii) ((I believe this one Mehmet Dogan calls gharqad Arabic الغرقر, אטד 'aTaD (Hebrew))), ether with a wider variety of herbaceous plants, should be considered, and planting density and composition should be changed. Native species of tree such as the terebinth / Mount Atlas pistache (Pistacia atlantica), buckthorn (Rhamnus disperma), prunus (Prunus korshinskyi), sumac (Rhus tripartita) and different varieties of acacia are common throughout the Negev...
I would like to tell you about a genus of plants called the "Spekboom". It's of the Portulacaria species. It has prolific growth habits and it is planted in semi-arid areas of South Africa. It can be used to supplement fodder for sheep, goats, cattle and wildlife. The plant has the ability to withdraw large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. It is very easy to establish and suitable for mass-planting. You will certainly be very pleased with its ability to adapt to your harsh desert climate.
soil that is covered in plants... grass for instance... has a lower temperature than soil that is not... morning dew is able to condense on cooler surfaces...
Blessup ur TikkunOlam Great Works! have u looked at incorporating frequency, working on a macro/micro-biotic level in talking to the soil regeneration ... e.g.; using water resonant frequencies, like 42.7kHz and 2.4GHz, and infamously 13.56MHz, The NuclearMagneticResonance of Oxygen? maybe u want to do this project in Jamaica with GarveyEnergyProject?
Couldn't believe it when he said Beersheba! I'm a Pastor and this week I'm studying the first book of Moses (Genesis ch21v33) - "Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God." Does any one know if it is the same Beersheba? Thank you!
I am Montagnard native Central highland I was grow up in thick jungle . Today Vietnamese encroached Degar region they destroy the jungle plants coffee, rubber trees plantations . I love watching people planting trees.
The land is rocky and dense and stable so creating ridges to bank flowing water is easier but in sandy deserts that are plain sand and with moving sands with couple inches of rain in a year , it would be real challenge and it will be good to go a natural route overtime of making the sandy desert land organic and more cohesive, except if the land is a bit rocky!
Hello people of Israel, What you are doing is great. Actually you are the only nation in middle east who is concerned towards environment. my best wishes to you all I just wanted to add that you could use the technique of growing self sustainable forest through Miyawaki method. The organisation Afforest has had much success in this area. it is an organisation made by Indian industrial engineer who employs the best techniques to grow self sustainable forests.

Fogging nets. Any one thought of fogging nets.?200mm =0.2m over what surface area? Height multiplied by area =volumme. 0.2×2000Km =400,000m cubed of water. 400,000litres a year.

Why dont you look into Allan Savory's method of restoring former grasslands that is now desserts. The dessert was created by removing the grazing animals that kept the system healthy, breaking crust, decaying grasses so they can regrow and cover the soil which allows for water to infiltrate and allows for the soil to hold it, and by that feed streams for a longer period of the year with clean water.
Suggest you look into regenerative grazing (refer Alan Savory?). They found that grazing animals in a manner that mimics migrating herds are vital to maintain healthy grasslands, especially in drier climates. It seems counterintuitive and surprised me.
@@oliverharder9057 Yep. Intentional, regenerative grazing in migratory patterns. Helps keep the underbrush cleaned and well managed as well as building up biomass, improving the soil's condition/fertility. And not just sheep and goats, either, but chickens and ducks too.
The only problem is that planting trees here wont work. The only thing that will work is to bring back the grasslands that's used to be by using massive amounts of livestock managed properly, the science behind this can be found in the 4 ecosystem process and you will realize that livestock is the only way you can address these degrading processes, which HAS to be taken into consideration when one is about to regenerate an ecosystem.

I wish you all the luck in the world, use plenty of mulch to retain moisture. Greetings from Cornwall.
Really? Good for you !

Does anyone know how long after you plant the tree does it become self sufficient (as in not needing a sprinkler to live).
The answer to that question depends on the rainfall and soil quality (amongst other factors). It's hard to give an accurate estimate with so many variables.
Yeah also the water table etc

would definitely solve their hunger problem for sure. Be able to raise more livestock, and could help with their exporting goods.

The trees are great for humans and animals alike.
Fogging nets. Any one thought of fogging nets.?200mm =0.2m over what surface area? Height multiplied by area =volumme. 0.2×2000Km =400,000m cubed of water. 400,000litres a year.
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Limans, terraces are almost the same as Zai technique which is used in sahel countries of africa.
It merely says impossible is nothing. We only have to save our land, our country and our planet.
People say how much evil, harmful and greedy humans are but we as a species have the potential to do much good too.
👍😊🥰
We all can plant seeds in are yards to. When people eat fruit plant the seeds in pots to later plant on your property .
Invest in trees and water management, not bombs and guns.
Jews r clever and hard working people, respect always
Groasis has developped a box that is used to protect the trees and keep them wet even in deserts.
Planting threes in the Sahara Desert in international project : canal Red Sea - salt depression Danakil; canal Nile Rosseta River - depression Qattara; Dam Mediteranean Sea /Rosseta Nile River
Good job keep it up
It has to be done worldwide to make a tangible impact.

Why dont you look into Allan Savory's method of restoring former grasslands that is now desserts. The dessert was created by removing the grazing animals that kept the system healthy, breaking crust, decaying grasses so they can regrow and cover the soil which allows for water to infiltrate and allows for the soil to hold it, and by that feed streams for a longer period of the year with clean water.
Limans are very controvertial when dug in a hyper arid zone
How is that? I am curious :)
Super 👌👍🌱🌲🌳🌴
Do this in Australia, right in the middle of it and make new towns and cities to boost population and economic growth! 🇦🇺
Swales and less grazing = more greenery.
what are swales?
Need way more grazing. You are the reason desertification happening.
Suggest you look into regenerative grazing (refer Alan Savory?). They found that grazing animals in a manner that mimics migrating herds are vital to maintain healthy grasslands, especially in drier climates. It seems counterintuitive and surprised me.
@@oliverharder9057 Yep. Intentional, regenerative grazing in migratory patterns. Helps keep the underbrush cleaned and well managed as well as building up biomass, improving the soil's condition/fertility.
And not just sheep and goats, either, but chickens and ducks too.
The only problem is that planting trees here wont work. The only thing that will work is to bring back the grasslands that's used to be by using massive amounts of livestock managed properly, the science behind this can be found in the 4 ecosystem process and you will realize that livestock is the only way you can address these degrading processes, which HAS to be taken into consideration when one is about to regenerate an ecosystem. If you really care for the planet, you should be open minded to this and find this approach interesting to study. If you are going to vilify it, your ego is in charge of you
its a start but they still lack a seriues amount of information to do it properly
wow amanzing. kui kui kui kui..
