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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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.👏🏿
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 (:
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!
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.
This makes me so happy! I live in the Sonoran Desert, in southern Arizona, USA. Temperatures here are extreme, it can go from 30 Fahrenheit at night to 80 in the afternoon. But, it can also go as low as say 22 Fahrenheit, and as high as 118 F. Where I live. It is very DRY, with less rain all the time. This gives me hope, and I will do everything I can to learn and make our planet better, like all of you!❤ Thank you SO MUCH!!❤ Love and peace to all of you!!😊
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.
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.
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
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 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 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.

it's nice to look at the trees, it's nice to take shelter under the tree, the air is fresh when the weather is hot. It protects us when there is a disaster. The tree is a big help when there is a disaster. so let's not destroy nature
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.
Umu’s story is just as important as is interesting
... totally, water is life, etc., etc.
Es ist erstaunlich, dass es tatsächlich eine Organisation geschafft hat, mit einem solchen Auftrag so groß zu werden. Seid stolz auf euch.
Danke Dir
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
Hear hear
what you guys are doing is amazing
💛 Thanks for the support (and for watching!)

"BuT iT's ClImAtE cHaNgE" meanwhile they are overgrazing their lands... simple as that.
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 would love to listen to Umu’s story !! ❤❤
Yessss
Same!
yeah it sounds interesting
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.

I would totally like an update in 5 Years on this. This is amazing.
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!
You guys are doing better than those stupid fake environmental conferences. We need real actions not COP 26, 27, 28 etc
i have been an ecosia member for 2 years now and thank you for doing what others won't.
Hopefully soon will also sprout the love of togetherness in the barren deserts of our hearts. Thanks Ecosia for raising hope to the world.
You are a beacon of hope for the world. So encouraging to see the land being restored.
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!

I love the cooperation and how people are shown in their strength instead of as poor charity cases
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
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.👏🏿
ily ecosia
Incredible work from Ecosia, the villagers of Bakel and Hommes et Terre!!! 💚💚💚
Thanks for watching and for the positive comment
Ecosia ❤❤❤
Not only do you heal the land you also heal the human spirit thank you very very much
love love love this video, proud of everyone working tirelessly to create change and being able to show us the progress!!!
Love back

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.
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 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 💛
10:25 dam! Didn’t see that coming. We appreciate all the hard work you put on our planet. God bless ya all!!❤❤❤
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.
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!

I love that the heat made you have to laugh it off.
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.
All the best!! Lovely work! ❤
Thanks for watching and for the support 💛
Unlike the wwf browser, yours is good enough for me to switch to it permanently
🥳🥳🥳
I am so happy for these people learning and accepting and making positive change through their work and education.
The various projects in the Sahel are so inspiring.
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.
In many countries coming up these projects!
The green belt in Sahel, Gobi and East Africa... it's so great!! ❤❤❤❤
You guys are doing an amazing job out there, keep it up and continue making the world a better place for everyone.
Thank you so much ! Can't wait for the moment where the exponential curve of life regeneration start to be visible there for everyone

Thanks for all you do.
This is the way to go. What a great project.
The idea of fencing and supervision by a team of green men and women is a great move,🙏🙏👍
Yay. You're back
this is a project i have been dreaming of since i was a child, finally someone is doing something🥰
Yes, please tell Umu' story in a video. Would love to see it.
Yes, a message of hope. Well done all of the people involved.
Hats off! Great job, mates! Together, we can make a difference!!
Love and respect from India! 🙏🇮🇳🙏
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'.
After a year you can already see the river basin that feeds the small pond! very cool!
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!
18:32 Yes it was in Spain that I first learned how damaging goats can be. Where you accidentaly at the sunseed project near Almeria too? 😂❤
More of these video's please!
Music to our ears!
merci beaucoup pour vos actions, vous êtes incroyable, ne lâchez rien
Fantastic video. It’s so good to know these sorts of projects are happening. Really impressive.
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.
Love the green men segment!:D I’m sure everyone agrees we’d love to hear Umu’s story and point of view too.
Hommes de Terre is doing great work 💙✌️ Thanks for the coverage Ecosia. I would love to hear about the water scarcity story.
Changing my browser to Ecosia is the best decision I've ever made
Amazing work in Senegal, keep it up.
This is awesome! Keep up the good work. ❤ Ecosia
Amazing video quality loved it from start to finish. Super interesting. Keep the good work going!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback
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!
Really intrresting to learn about how the trees are growing and why there's no watering.
Also, love the presentation of ✨️ The Green Man ✨️ 😂

Bieeeeen :)
Hats off to your team . And best wishes to the African people.
You are the real heroes! Thank you!
it's nice to look at the trees, it's nice to take shelter under the tree, the air is fresh when the weather is hot. It protects us when there is a disaster. The tree is a big help when there is a disaster. so let's not destroy nature
The story of the elegant woman Umu would make a great video.
Fatima and Melissa who’s most crazy ? May your work come to success forever and ever 🙏🏻
💛💛💛
Ihr macht so tolle Arbeit! 🫶😊
13:35 :D Props to the cutter. Very funny!!
Will let her know ;) Thanks for the comment!
please keep going please we need more people like you!
can‘t wait to support your project with our music 💚
Tell us more!
Thanks for the educational video and your important work!
Você pode usar garrafas de plástico nos canteiros...para armazenar água da chuva e manter o solo úmido.
3times more than tropical rainforest? That’s amazing.
I doubt they meant "per area", but more like "all spaces together", because there are more of them.
Wow well done everyone! Thats a marathon effort!
💛💛

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you so much! What you are doing is hope giving
🌱 another great project by Ecosia !
