Lebanon Reforestation Initiative - Outplanting Best Practices

[@valiaudet3415]

I hope that the project is very successful and continues for a long time. Thank you and our planet thanks you for your dedication.

This is so awesome. The forests of Lebanon were quite lierally the stuff of legends, the quality of its woods were famed far and wide throughout the ancient world, used in projects ranging from Gilgamesh's city of Uruk to Solomon's Temple and palace in Jerusalem. I hope and pray this effort is successful.

Thank you USAID for your efforts in lebanon

Really well done video. I like how each aspect of the project is broken down. Really gives a glimpse into the entire process of reforestation.

[@FullMetalPier]

Wow, from the video you really understand the enormous professionalism behind the project! Congratulations from an Italian forestry doctor!

The trees all look the same . I hope there is diversity in what is being planted .???? I hope the work continues through the current Lebanese Economic crisis . Good Luck ...God Bless .

I loved that the young trees were given a mulch of rocks to help retain moisture & prevent any possible erosion from the wind & heavy rain. I also loved the attention to detail that ensured preservation of the plastic seedling containers for future reuse. Plastic usage in the horticultural industry is extremely problematic as even the most conscientious gardener/recycler normally finds it extremely difficult to recycle the (mostly) black plastic containers once you've finished with them. After all, most of us can only reuse so much before it becomes a waste product. We're often told that there's no market for black plastic but I find this extremely difficult to fathom as literally, tonnes of new black plastic is produced yearly in various forms. I'm also curious to know if there's been a significant build-up in soil that have been planted for more than 5 years.

I imagine micro climates will be setting up in these places , biomass in the soil will only increase after this . Its all good . And for a country with a tree on its flag to actually have forests and not just 1 or 2 trees here and there .

[@dragondragon9773]

Finally some good news from Lebanon🌴🌲🌳

[@claires9100]

Beautiful. Dedicated people, and respect for science will save our world.

[@karfomachet7265]

I wish I could be there in 50 years and see how big the trees have grown , with a forestation the Lebanese will rediscover something they lost and it will help them greatly .

why is there no thank you button on here so people can donate? Shalom

Thank you for preserving biodiversity, ecosystems, save the planet 🌎 free from pollution ,global warming, & erosion Living in the Mother Earth, without damaging is good for society & future generation God bless 🦚🦢🌦🦆

[@sheetalbhalerao8192]

Very good.Pl. Plant those tall,spreading shades, give fruits, flowers, seeds,Such trees provide shelters for birds,animals,generate employments.I will mention some useful Indian trees - Banyan, peeple, umber, bamboo, teak,- Mango,Jamun,Awala,Lichi Jackfruit(vegetarian meat),for biodiesel-karanj,Jatropha etc.

Bravo! Best of luck!

A little more tree biodiversity would be good in these reforestation projects, otherwise it's just tree plantations. They need animals in these areas and 'alleycropping'would be a way to manage competition to the trees while protecting the trees themselves from animals browsing on the trees. Normally it is a bad idea to handle potted trees by the main stem. The weight of the soil breaks fine roots... Like that they're using the zai pit tchnique.

Lets protect a beautiful nature that give more hope for us.🌄🌿🌳🏞️🌳🌳🌳

At 1•43 it looks as though attempt has been made to prevent rain runoff by digging trenches but it seems that they weren't created by digging on contour which would have been more effective at water retention. After watching this video for the second time, I wonder if the valley communities below well established areas of reforestation are starting to enjoy a more reliable ground water supply. This is a common experience in other parts of the world where reforestation has taken place.

Wenn alle Soldaten der ganzen Welt Bäume Pflanzen würden anstelle von Kriegen, wäre dei Erde bald ein einziges Paradis. Wunderschön:)

Fastes doing it only Fastest desert is almost every where but against work are helping

Très bonne explication, reportage très intéressant J'espère cela se poursuivra Bon courage à tous

V.good. what does it look like now.. may all the saplings become like the famous cedars of lebanon .many thanks to dedicated foresters

I think bamboo trees are also effective for reforestation🌳🌳🌳

[@b_uppy]

Bamboo is in the grass family. Not a 'tree'...

I wish this videos was in English look like it would have been an interesting video to watch

[@kevinbarnes218]

There are subtitles man.

[@djowen23]

@@kevinbarnes218 But then I can't enjoy watching the video, the time I read what they say they change the seen and I miss most of the video!

[@richardmang2558]

@@djowen23 Hit the pause button and read. That is what I had to do also. You are correct in that it is interesting landscape, I would like to see the before and after transformation.

Use miyawaki technique

[@Nightowl5454]

I'd say you're going a little too far in over packing the soil.
