The Desert: Sahel - a region under threat

In our new special series -- The Desert -- CCTV takes an epic journey through the Sahara to explore how climate change is affecting the world's largest hot desert, and the people who inhabit it. In this installment our team travels to Northern Senegal in the Sahel - a region under threat, as it battles the encroaching Sahara.

地元政府よ、この乾いた大地にトラクターとショベルカーと散水車を導入して植林活動だけでなく、水源を掘り起こして井戸と大きな水場と水路を作って下さい‼️

Is it possible to create a robot/device that can plant native seeds at high speed, just when the optimal weather conditions like rain are about to happen in these arid landscapes. Why are we thinking of terra forming Mars where as we are loosing our own planet. These robots can be solar powered and can be refilled with seeds using drones. Why is no one developing such devices? Theoretically, this robot's only task is to push a seed 2-3 inches below the surface just after a rain. We can use Mars rover like driving logic in this device to protect it. Thoughts?

They really have to carry out birth control, as rapid birth rate and population growth brings tremendous pressure to the nomads to grow more livestock, leading to problems like overgrazing and overcultivation. These will make farming in the future impossible as soil nutrients will be depleted. As you can see, they used too much water for watering plants, dissolving salts in the soil and lead to salinization. It's neccessary to teach them to use sustainable farming methods.

To be fair, the easiest way to help out with population and generally grow the country is allow access to higher education for female mainly (male education has been shown to be less important for some reason, men condition generally follows.)

This region is one the least densely populated in the world, experts agree that the biggest threat to this region is without any doubt climate change and man-made degradation of the environment. I don't know what your credentials are to be so certain of what you're saying but to mention birth control (which is needed to some extent worldwide as the world population is growing fast) is very near-sided, reductive, and dismissive of much more pressing issues in that region.
