THe Great Green Wall being built in Africa to halt the southern progress of the Sahara Desert is a favorite public works project

THe Great Green Wall being built in Africa to halt the southern progress of the Sahara Desert is a favorite public works project of mine — it’s massive, ambitious, long-term, important, and if it works, the effect will repay the cost many times over. This video takes a quick look at some of the work being done on the wall in Senegal.

    The only thing I can’t stand is the voice in the video. Nonetheless very informative. I really hope they can hold the desert back.

      At about 3:40 the introducer steps aside and it gets far more practical, too!
