Senegal: building a Green Wall for Africa

@@vermicelledecheval5219 The destabilization in West Africa is a direct result of the NATO bombing of Libya and the capture of arms by terror groups. Nations are turning to BRICS, Russia, and Wagner out of desperation. Because of the terrorists unleashed by NATO and the bad deals forced upon them by the IMF and World Bank. Under BRICS, African nations can use agricultural commodities to back their currency. Meaning the Great Green Wall would increase wealth. More nations and people around the world are realizing BRICS will treat them more fairly than US/UK/EU.

They need to also start planning fruit trees . People need trees that also provide food. Birds will also spread the seeds and natural reforestation will also happen.

[@WillowGardener]

In Southern Senegal, where there is more rain, there are mango trees and banana plants everywhere. This video shows central Senegal though, and most fruit trees are not viable here without irrigation. This project covers far too much land to irrigate. The acacia trees provide forage for livestock though, so they are still providing food for humans. The other dominant tree in this landscape, the baobab, produces food though. You can eat both the fruit and the leaves of the baobab.

[@b_uppy]

Absolutely. They need variety for the people, livestock, but also because polycropping is good for restoring hydrology and soil. They need to start with pioneer trelivestock, Pioneer trees are site-appropriate trees that fix nitrogen, get deep roots, supply food and livestock fodder as well. Mesquite is one of the good choices.

[@lemokolyon]

[@ADDeeJay]

i grow in zone 9b. if you're planting acacia, and you live in a water starved area, you should consider planting oppuntia as well (prickly pear). Although invasive, you can protect saplings, and the cactus bodies act as water reservoirs. And because they vastly increase organic matter content of the soil, they bring in bacteria that help fix nitrogen.

[@peagames2002]

Yeah, if you're planning on planting trees, its better to plant other local plants too, because it has survived thus far well. Also excessive herding is double-edged sword. It does bring manure to fields to renurture, but it won't be much of use if there are no plants to use it. Planning trips that would benefit herd and the fields would be significant in keeping up ground rooted and stock up moisture and avoid desertification.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

To not only plant this Great Green Wall, but to consider and continue to support the herders, encourage gardening among the women - giving 'them' the means to help support their children alongside their husbands, and take into account the effects of this great change on the environment, insects and health. All at the same time. This type of holistic planning is so rare in the world today. Just hope that other nations surrounding Senegal stop bickering for 5 minutes, see the fruits of their neighbour's labour and realise that they should be doing the same instead of fighting over scraps and religion.

It is vital here to have grazing management. The grass needs to be eaten in one day then left to regrow for a month, or whatever time is needed due to temperature and moisture. That is far more productive than constant grazing which eventually kills grass , exposes soil, and leads to loss of soil. It is also vital to get rid of camels. They eat every living thing and CREATE the deserts! Goats are almost as bad, moving to sheep and cattle would help tremendously. This is a fantastic project and would be great to see all over the world in arid land.

[@peagames2002]

Yes, sheeps and cows are good. Also sheeps wool can be reused in hot summer for various mattresses, or covers to make an useful shade from hot sun. I think it would be good to donate sewing and weaving tools for those who wish to take care of sheep.

The desert came about largely because of two animals. Goats eat the Bottom half of trees and bushes and Camels eat the top half. Forbid those two animals and it is possible to re-green the desert.

[@Nphen]

The small trees are protected by fence. And must always be when grazing is involved. Grazing in general must be done in small enclosures for a short amount of time. The animals must be moved before all the grass is gone. Proper grazing helps regenerate. Overgrazing destroys any landscape, arid the most quickly. Better livestock management is possible now because of lightweight electric fencing.

Do plantations in the form of a bee hive. Area should be divided as is in a hive in different cell. Where one cell is planted and the next cell is kept empty. Keep in mind that Where plantation is done it should be very dense and the empty should be kept absolutely empty. And try to keep atleat 25 varieties of local fauna. The empty areas can be used to keep the livestock. One acre should be divided into 4 cells each . After only 10 years you will see a forest growing in front of you. Contouring should be done properly. I can see in the video that the land appears to flat. Each cells should have different heights. The plantation and the empty cells have different heights. The empty ones should be high by atleast 2 feet. After each monsoon the necessary correction should be made
