Senegal's massive reforestation project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2020
- Senegalese farmers along the Casamance River delta have been planting millions of mangrove buds to reforest the region. After decades of clearing the forests for firewood, saltwater has intruded into the delta, turning farmland into barren fields. Mangrove forests are a natural barrier against saltwater, host diverse ecosystems, and slow desertification. They also absorb significant amounts of carbon. The huge reforestation project has many partners, and forms part of the Great Green Wall initiative to halt desertification and soil erosion in the Sahel.

Great work Senegal!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, DW. Time and time again I find myself saying, “I love DW.”
In the name of Jesus I bless you and I pray that you will continually resist the bribe money from the patented drug industry and more so that your network doesn’t become worthless smut to all who hear it’s corrupt information. Amen
Senegal is very exposed to sea level rising. Reconstituring mangroves is vital for the country.
No such thing as sea level rise. Why have all the loony liberals like Obama and other elites buying sea side property. Stop listening to loony scare mongering. Land is subsiding NOT the sea rising.
if you want a spring, plant an African banyan tree every 100 meters, the tree is very strong and stores a lot of water so springs appear. and the leaves can be used for animal feed
I love the slingshot idea. It's very direct. Sometimes it's hard to stay simple.
it was done in pakistan too but was criticized
in mining water cannons are used to spray grassedseed manure mixure onto the landscape to reseed large inaccesible areas quickly
Haider.....Blessings
AWESOME. Keep up the great work everyone : )
✌✌
Thank you DW for the video. Happy to know of the efforts in Senegal.
In Goa, there are fields below sea level growing rice. These lands are khazonn (khazan) lands, growing more salt tolerant varieties of rice, like korgut etc.
Maybe the expert agriculturists from Goans who migrated to Kerala, in the past centuries, also used similar methods there. Pokolli rice variety may be same as Korgut.
Senegal could consider trying some salt-tolerant rice varieties from Goa, Kerala etc.
May God bless the efforts.
keep planting im planting trees to pnw
Lets go...Senegal...& ..Ethiopia...you have to lead The Sahel Green Wall
This is so wonderful 💚
Awesome! Keep going, you're saving the world.❤️
Tremendous work! Greetings to you, people of Senegal 🇸🇳
Excellent!

Hi from Florida - no mangroves - no Florida
Wonderful ...lets go Senegal.
Now they just need to develop a system of harvesting and replanting mangroves. Hopefully they are taught to use solar ovens for cooking and become less dependent on wood for fuel. Zero shame in mud (cob) housing either. The emphasis on diversity is good but they need more variety of plants. They need to try to find useful trees and shrubs they can also harvest from...
Goats contribute to desertigication in the first place. Keep goats away from trees and shrubs.
Topography flow of water slowed some swales and catchment ponds, making composts and mulch for happy microorganisms In the soil regenerative landscapes. Eden projects replenish nature are good.
That's a great work, indeed. Thank you.
Glad to see countries like Senegal trying to counter deforestation like the Brazilian government’s doing nothing to stop.
Brilliant
Other countries should help Africa in plantation
Non Stopping working for 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fabulous - Senegal leading the way.
Thank you for preserving biodiversity 🦚
Merci pour la propagation d’arbres.
Pour éviter érosion plantée palmyra, banyan,strangler fig, sycamore fig,mulberries &. almendro, God of nature
bless all compassionate people 🦚🌦🌎🦢🦆🦜
Wow...
Great work!
This makes me smile, goodjob guys❤❤
How are they going to protect them from illegal logging?
Great to see!!
Siiii REFORESTAR árboles nativos para que VUELVA el ciclo de vida. Los árboles regulan la temperatura en la corteza TERRESTRE. Resguardan las NAPAS SUBTERRÁNEAS. DÓNDE hay árboles hay agua. Cómo tan poca visión? DÓNDE están los AMBIENTALISTAS del mundo. REFORESTAR REFORESTAR árboles nativos.
Very fastes works as Plantaion possible
❤️❤️❤️🌿🌿🌿🌼🌼🌼
Did u guys ever Heard of salt water rice..... There is a variety of rice which grow in sault water. Try to serch more. We had enough choice now for vegetation.

Well done everyone, I really hope it works for you. Greetings from Cornwall.
Thank you for helping earth
great work
great work
we proud you.
And yet the president of Brazil still is letting logging happening and is ignoring the climate crisis
Amazing 🇨🇦💕❤️🇨🇦
Hats off to mr. Ali and all the people involved in fixing the environment. Thank you. 👏🏼👏🏾🙏🏽
Good
📢📩😇😇😇
Haider el Ali is my kind of environmentalist.
No protests. No nagging. Be the direct agent of positive change.
Nice work
Are Ghanaian authorities seeing this?
Old school farming practices. Before chemical fertilizers, etc. when everything was done "organically".
Maybe if they planted the seeds rather than slinging them with a slingshot they'd be more successful, no? I've never seen trees planted successfully by throwing them. Just saying.
No. It works actually.
Why 3 person have dislikes the video.
activities are good when funding is present but when it less funding action fails. how to sustain the project is always the problem.
KENYA WATER CATCHMENT AREAS NEED TO LEARN FROM SENEGAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS
YES, we do.
Did she say billion?
The people are hungry
Trees just make you feel so much better. We need to be one with the environment, not control it.
This is great news!
Continue this please
Rice from china can withstand saline land, i think its better to use their seeds..
It's better to restore the ecosystem than to introduce foreign plants which may not complement the other living things in the area.
Make Senegal Great Again
World 's position about climate behaviour more risky
It's a small drop in a big ocean of problems.
They will get there. With team effort.
What a beautiful tv presenter!..:--) and the reforestation is AMAZING! Please keep us updated! show the progress....All digits x for huge success!....well done!..:-)))))
Senegal faces its share of problems, it was in a pretty bad state before the pandemic, and while directly effected not nearly as badly as some other countries, the effect it is having on their economy is not pleasant.
They are saving their farmland, creating jobs and doing a hell of a lot in the fight against climate change.
Compare their carbon emissions to those of your country: here's what Senegal is doing for the environment, for planet, for our future.
What's your country doing?
What? you don't have the money?
Poorer than Senegal?
Maybe cut back a tiny bit on military spending?
stunning that trees can perform desalinization
Surprised that you find it stunning. Trees are common along coastal beaches and river inlets all over the world, and have evolved to deal with saltwater as well as freshwater.

i see deal with ... and desalinization as 2 different things.. sorry if i don't measure up

Exploring Mangrove Biomimicry for Desalination of Water
Using Mangroves as a Template to Study Natural Biological Reverse Osmosis
An example of natural reverse osmosis occurs in mangrove trees, known for their unique ultrafiltration systems that filter more than 99% of salt ions from seawater through the roots4. The water-filtering process in mangrove roots has received considerable attention5,6, however, the fundamental atomic forces behind desalination in mangrove roots and the intermolecular basis behind the creation of negative pressures that drive desalination remain unstudied.

stunning
Why aren’t the blacks thinking and doing this like 😮
Taught by the Chinese.
No. There is no Chinese involved here.
How can those guys scatter seeds when the damn goats will just eat the newly sprouted shoots from the sprouting seeds. Stop the goats and cattle from grazing in certain areas until the trees are big enough to survive. However, the goats will still debark and kill the trees. This is the major problem in Africa. No one is brave enough to tackle the problem of unrestricted "grazing". Here in South Africa we have terrible soil erosion due to sqatter locations and associated free roaming goats and cows destroying the grass and trees.
Regards from South Africa
🐐 are not taken to the near the sprouted shoots. So no they will not eat them
Why does it always seem that Africans need rescuing? A man has to leave the deserts of the Middle East to get Senegalese to take care of their mangroves and preserve their land?
Piman Mann Jaques FYI this guy is born and raised in senegal just because he has different skin color. He used to be the minister of environment in senegal
Africa is one of the most heavily exploited continent on earth. Check your colonialism at the door.
@@auhsz9140 Get your facts right, both him and his parents were born and raised in Senegal. Its his country regardless of his skin color. You guys just have inferiority complex
@@kollegs101 I’m defending Africa. Lol. I never said he wasn’t from Senegal. You misunderstood my comment.
@@auhsz9140 I think he just responded to the wrong comment
