What Yacouba did next...

- This latest short video from 1080 Films updates the story of Yacouba Sawadogo, 'the man who stopped the desert'. The director, Mark Dodd, filmed Yacouba on his visit to South Korea in 2011 for the UN Convention to Combat Desertification conference. Then in July 2012 we revisited Yacouba on his farm . Thanks to a new farmer training initiative funded by donations, Yacouba is now able to visit many more villages in his region to spread his Zai techniques.
This documentary clearly shows the difficulty for we Africans to overcome the weight of tradition to get us out of our actual condition. If we add to this the jealousy between us due to poverty you will understand that what this man has done is clearly phenomenal considering the limited means, hunger and water scarcity. "A falling tree makes more noise than a forest that grows." Do not under estimate the seed of good because it is still planted in the most fertile land. This is a man of great faith and we should all learn from him.
An inspiration - Yacouba shows that individuals can make a difference if they marry a powerful idea with belief, consistent action and infinite patience.
Wow - I just watched a followup video about Yacouba Sawadogo and I was moved to tears by his humility, his respect for God and for everyone he interacts with, and his sincere desire to make a difference in the lives of others. May God bless him and further his wonderful work!
+Sean Shea He could not learn the Koran, yet he has effortless virtue and grace. He readily forgave those who burned down his fields
M. Hoffman yes - an amazing and inspiring example for all of us!
Yes, I Agree.
He is so cool in person. Defying unhelpful criticism by just carrying on doing what he believed would help his barren land. He has proven to many others that nothing can stop you from achieving your dream.
This is inspiring, he is a great example to follow, especially we African. I've lived in a neighborhood where people are dying of hynger but they have a big parcel where they can grow vegetables that can feed them...
I've seen a few specials about him I like the fact that everybody in the whole village thought he was "The Village Idiot" and now he is considered to be the wisest man in land my how times have changed!!
La puissance qu'il y'a dans l'esprit de cet homme accompagné de sa foi reste à jamais merveilleux.
I'm crying from this movie but he is an AMAZING MAN!!!! #lovefromindonesia :)
Sartika D alhamdulillah indonesia tanpa gurun

master of masters
Awsome man!
longa vida a Yacouba Sawadogo
Nice work
There is a lot of ancient knowledge that is simply ignored by the modern world. I wish that prisoners in western countries were used as a labour force to reforest our deserts. This man Yacouba has helped to change the world to be a better place. Someone rich should donate some money to let him buy back a piece of the desert, I heard he needs $20000.
Prisonners in western countries are mostly... whatever.
simplesmente fantastico. Nunca tantos deverao tanto a tao poucos.
We all have the ability to do something about the fix we are in in this world. We need to plant in the built deserts of towns & cities all over the world & plant the deserts. We DO have the power to do something about global warming. If ordinary people world wide get together in their own area. We do not need governments to do this. It just needs one or two persons to convene a meeting of other locals.
There should not be any unemployed people at this time. All should be working to do something about global warming. There should be work for all doing this.
In the U.K people recieving unemployment benefits are required to apply for a lot of jobs. This does nothing to reduce unemployment. It just means more & more people are applying for the same limited number of jobs. This is devastating the mental health of claiments. Repeated rejections eat away at the mind & badly affect physical health.
We could turn this situation around. Halve the number of job applications people are required to make & instead require them to spend at least one day a week working to combat global warming. People would feel much better about themselves & this would reduce health problems, substance abuse & crime. Roles could range from advising people about how to make their household more environmentally friendly to digging up an area of concrete & planting trees & fruit bushes.
This could be a win-win situation. We do not have to sit here like a load of rabbits stuck in headlights.
Planting in towns would not only help to create resilience against flooding & calm winds, it would improve air quality, improve mental health, reduce crime, baffle noise from roads & make them more attractive also suitable areas no matter how small could be put to food production. Giving people small allotments, rather than the old fashioned big ones would enable people to have a place out doors where they could get exercise.
Humans need to be thankful to nature.
Should build a machine to dig these holes. It's pretty flat out there would work pretty well.
The Amazing human
More people need to know about this man and his work
The real hero
maravilhosa ideia,
i love trees, especially green trees and love when desert turn into greengrass
Make another short video on how he is doing now, whats going on
thanks for your comment. You can keep up to date by following the 1080 films fb page. We would love to return again but filming requires significant funding.
just like Skype interview him or something
+SomethingSoOriginal

m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153468969426477&id=107890636476
ok, i don't have Facebook but hopefully its public
1080 Film & Television is there a Facebook page only dedicated to mr. lightworker Yacouba's works?
Gostaria muito que este vídeo tivesse legenda em português ou fosse dublado para eu entender esta historia! Me parece linda...
Nice
dirt simple ...
AND IT WORKS!!!! 😍
This man is a genius!
Next is plant forest diversity and create space for livestock diversity as free worker, termite, bee and other tame animal to reduce man worker or machine equipment.
What man is a man who does not make the world better? (from Kingdom of Heaven)
champion.
Mi admiracion y respeto por YAKOUBA. UN MONUMENTO MUNDIAL. SI TENGO UN HIJO LE PONDRE YAKOUBA
waleykumu salaam yakouba
Why should we plant trees today boys and girls ? Because our old man plants some for us yesterday !!
Do someone have the whole water documentary pls confirm the name or share the link which has ABT America and Soviet union as well
Does anybody know if this man's work is being supported? It appears that at the time this film/video was made that he was receiving minimal support. I wonder what miniscule fraction of the cost of an F-22 it would cost to support him, his family, and his work? Perhaps the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would consider helping him.
+Brooks Anderson I agree totally - The problem is that most of the foreign aid does not go to efforts like this, or have the interest for that matter - they only focus on patching up a wound so too speak and not give people the knowledge on how to survive on their own. Focus should be on teaching people like Yacouba does - "give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime"
Fredrik Wickberg Yes. By the time governments act, the Sahel, North Africa, and much of the middle East will fall into chaos It's happening now. Just look at the refugee flood into Southern Europe.The effective way would be an NGO, or quicker yet, individuals like the Gates to sponsor him and his son. Talk about getting your money's worth.
islam terhormat dimata dunia karena ulah beliau. Barakallohu fiikum. assalamualaikum, yokouba🙏
Does YAcouba plants also Moringa trees?
It's amazing
Gengis Coutou well i no he plant alot of different types of palm marula and shea
😍

I tried using your link to FB to see what your updates look like and FB said there was nothing there. Please repost yr link for me so I can look at them. Thank you. I have shared your information with an instructor of mine at my college.

This link is active, so should work. We will have more up to date news after the elections in Burkina Faso. Thanks your interest.
the challenge now is to maintain peoples awareness about how important the forest even single tree, because the forest everything and everyone is back to the abandoned land, that's cause people cut trees for home and others. In indonesia, there is mbah sadiman who create 100 hectare forest 11000 trees start from 1996 until now. Just like Yacouba, peoples said that Sadiman is crazy. Now days, they drink water and eat food from him.
So scientists were to stupid to discover this way of cultivating and retaining water in dry areas in Africa. This guy is outclassing the last 2000 years of geniuses for sure. From almost nothing, he created life in desert.
Tec Effect lmao!!! You right about that!!!
Waalaikumsalam wr wb
masha'allah wise man 🙏☺
Dont get in to trap of agriculture industry teknik or education industry program to achieve quick shortcut to succed ! step by step progres.
You fo know that a Chinese man was the first to fo this. And he had to carry water froma distance to start the plants. Glad others are also doing it.
This is the right path local knoledge, we need not international big film makers driving latest 4 wheel drives and leave behind a unfinished project and a despair
The surface is like bad concrete.....
baby walnuts hope at least one serve be big tree . try grow shag barks next.
I am here to broke 100 comment into 101 wkwkwkwk
9:13 the authorities are typical jackasses. Yacouba's ideas will bring fame and fortune to their country. Instead the authorities want to bring shame to their country. Such fools need to wake up and think about their legacy.
These fools are cutting down fruit trees in which they need to feed themselves. When will people learn?
Are you looking at the right film? No one is cutting down fruit trees.
Well He can keep his Islamic religion but I applaud his efforts to help where it's really needed the practical application of reforestation & reclaiming desert!
Muskoka Man what he does is Islamic
not that I know of...I just took 2 seperate systems and combined...you could go to "ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM" and get ideas...thats where all mine come from.
What exactly has this man done? What techniques has he used? So much talk about the man but no substance about what he has done!
Veganic ♾ This film is only a follow up to the movie. You need to watch the movie first.
allah is great
Tell this dude to use poop to grow his crops and trees it smells horrible but will help in long runs
That friendly Korean woman @ 3:01 is not suppose to touch or shake his hand.I think it's against Yacouba's Islamic faith,eventhough she meant well.She's not suppose to touch him or shake his hand !!!
SithSereyPheap1 she doesn't know, and I'm glad he Didn't dismiss her. ALLAH ALMIGHTY IS GREAT and MERCIFUL!!!
This man thinks that the ''movie'' is ''spreading the word''. Yes, it is... BUT NOT FOR FREE! You have to pay to watch the movie! I think the producers want to save their profits, not the world... ;)
nacusa Natita. You are mistaken. You may be interested to know that this documentary had made no profits to date. This film was entirely funded by a private backer. Believe it or not, making films cannot be done for free, and independently produced docs rarely make a profit. We are not the evil money - grabbers your post implies.
