A very good work is being done in stopping the advancement of sands in the Sahara. My gratitude to all the participants in these difficult projects. Thank you for sending your Jounalists out to cover these VERY vital earth issues. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! 🌍 Desertification is one of the most challenging issues humanity faces today. It's a tough fight, and many people feel like it's a lost battle. But together, we can turn the tide! Let's spread the word about these innovative strategies that are already showing promising results.
Love your channel ❤ which spreads positivity & hope for nature amidst all the depressing news of deforestation & desertification & destruction of animals habitats & swift massive extinctions that rejuvenation is possible! & doable by ordinary people just with right guidance from experts & enduring persevering hard work 😅👍🏻 thank u! 👍🏻
Some places like Australia in their Outback, they have similar high levels of RAIN, but on a very limited basis, maybe one or two rains per year. Then it runs off and evaporates. It's lost. There are very smart water conservation use programs in some very untechnical and relatively poor countries. The Rajasthan of Northwest India has a similar annual rainfall profile and they have developed a system of land structures that hold the water on the land and captures it before it can wash away. And of course they have a complex layered regenerative farming structure too. They are gaining back land from their desert and holding onto rains for the whole of the dry season. Their wells are NOT running dry. Their crops are growing. Their people are being fed. And their local climate is COOLER and livable.
They need to harvest rainwater. They can act in their own backyard instead of waiting rescue. Small and frequent is important, and avoiding bare soil. They can do it with earth and shovels. It helps to have plant diversity for increased fertility, soil moisture, healthy soil biota and to prevent different types of erosion. Its better to have heavy interplanting than to have monocultures. Yes, the main crop may be reduced but the secondary crops will produce at 80% and make up for the reductions.
@@wewenang5167 That's a mischaracterizarion to say "it only rains once a year." Firstly it rains. Also it floods. By rainwater harvesting you and putting water IN SOIL instead of letting it directly evaporate, as well as flood and remove the valuable finer soil, carbon and fertility with 8t. It should also be pointed out that rainy seasons can be quite variable and taking advantage 9f years where there is a lot more 4ain is much better than thinking flooding rehydrates the soil. It doesn't. Dry soil is compacted soil. Compacted soil resists water from soaking in, as well air. Rainwater harvesting also dilutes the salts in the soil. This further reduces plant dessication. You need rainwater harvesting. Another possibility to increase rainfall is to introduce mangroves to the coast. Mangroves CA grow in salty and brackish water to be used to increase evapo-transpiration. The released pollen from the trees will seed more rainfall, where it is meeded.
Grazing animals should be penned, not allowed to roam, according to John D. Liu, who helped to green up the Loess Plateau. They should be fed in the pens. If allowed to roam, they will eat any green thing that emerges from the ground, causing the grasslands to turn to a desert. It would be good to feed them crop waste, such as corn stalks and husks. Also, permaculture helps to retain water by building swales (long trenches) and berms(long walls made of sand dug from making swales). The berms are right next to the swales. Once the sand gets wet, trees and other plants can be grown on them.
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE is the answer! Pioneered by Alan Savory in Africa, and adapted by Gabe Brown in North Dakota, Greg Judy in Missouri, Will Harris in Georgia, and now many students throughout the world. Big agriculture and vegans are fighting regenerative agriculture, but it continues to grow because of how well it works.
Yes! Work with Nature, Permaculture is the Solution! Like Zephenia Phiri Maseko, Bill Mollison, Brad Lancaster, Andrew Millison showed us the Way. Maximizing the Profit kills the World, kills us!
The Sahel region is getting greener paradoxically one may think due to global warming and the Sahara is consequently shrinking. So this channel should get its message up to date to current facts.
That's because of the great green wall they making , but it take a lot of time ( decades ) before the great green wall have a purpose in the water cycle.
The sahel region are the only region that are getting greener but other sahara walls are not yet or completely stop now especially in Sudan where there is war. The problem in sahel region were actually magaebale compared to other countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Nigeria.
Someday they might have to cover the villages, and someday even big cities. But we need equal wealth to do that. And all nations need to build beautiful Tower cities connected to maglev Trains worldwide.
If the AMOC slows to a crawl or even breaks down, then NONE of this will matter. We, in the whole of the world need to make changes in behavior and that will be costly. Or we can start to lose vast areas to desert that will encompass huge regions of North America, Europe and Asia and then the Human and other populations will collapse massively and for hundreds of years.
I still think that when Mechanical Processes were augmented with petrol, with pumps that could move more water than simple screw pumps or hand drawn wells could produce. More water allowed for more land to be cultivated which allowed the human population to grow. Essentially, the Human population outgrew the water supply and then the water supply crashed and that will take centuries for the ground water to recharge. We seem to learn the hard way. We make a mistake and then hopefully we learn that it wasn't just an ACT OF GOD. It was Man.
Sorry Senegal, but Sheep farming is working as well in your semiarid land as it is in Australia. Pastural herding is depleting the soil of needed vegetation to build a substrate for fungal association. That fungal association creates the fertilization of the dirt into soil. I know you measure your wealth in sheep. But more sheep means more desert.
True, we have the same problem in Morocco as well. Unfortunately, the poorest parts of the country are the ones that rely on herding the most. It's not easy to just tell them to step, and they certainly won't stop on their own for environmental reasons. What makes things worse is that people in both Senegal and Morocco celebrate Eid Adha, where the vast majority of households sacrifice a ram on an annual basis, creating constant demand.
@@simomimo-t4u I grew up in a Muslim household in Lagos Nigeria, and celebrating Eid with a ram sacrifice was an annual communal tradition . The sheep were brought over from the rural, desert-like northern states of Nigeria down to the coastal south bordering the Atlantic. With increasing desertification and longer-lasting drought conditions, more and more land is lost and the southern states are now harbouring more and more sheep, causing tribal frictions and deadly conflicts with farmers in the south.
Permaculture design. See video called Greening the Desert, Geoff Lawton. First thing he did was pen the goats and bring the food to them. No more grazing the land to death. He took rubble, totally degraded, salted soil and created an oasis in a desert in Jordan near the Dead Sea, with rainfall of less than 3 inches per year. Growing vegetables and fruit trees, meat animals, chicken and rabbits eggs from chicken.
They’re beginning to have amazing progress! 12:32 it says “The loss of traditional values of mutual aid, combined with a lack of water led to the end of a number of oases.” That’s because it’s what capitalism does! We need to end capitalism! Other nations need to tell that to USA! Please. If there was equal wealth worldwide, like there should be and will be someday, they could build only modern Tower cities connected to maglev Trains, so they could build huge water catchments and many more things would be possible. Capitalism is stopping so much progress by thinking it’s right to give all the money to a few rich people, and then they teach us that “you need rich people to help you” instead of having a way for all people to take care of themselves! Other nations should tell USA to end capitalism!
Absolutely! Human ingenuity belongs to everyone, not just the wealthy. Progress should benefit all of humanity, not just serve personal interests. Let's work together to create a more equitable and sustainable future. 🌍💡
The industrial planting of the Sahel is probably too fast. I know the need is urgent. But this ecological process can't be fixed in a year or three. It's going to take Generations of Local Women participating in the New Culture of Agriculture of Permaculture of Regenerative Farming. And this is learned and passed on from Mother to Daughter and that takes time if it is going to work, spread and last.

When the Sahara issue is resolved USA eastern seaboard will benefit by having less damage from hurricanes‼️🤗
Warming brings more convection, more rain.. Colder = drier
Do the farmers at 20.21 use inoculated Biochar for their agriculture?
We just keep beating up Mother Earth, and she's fighting back! It's good to see that there are these type of solutions are being enacted.

Draught came when they left traditional farming. When people are greedy always bad things finds them.
well if you wnat people to stay they must stop sending children to school....all children that go to school dont wnat to be farmers.
@@wewenang5167 No sir i graduated from university ,however i still want to set my farm and do village works.
