The Great Green Wall of Africa is one amazing project that will benefit so many people with jobs, food and self reliance. It is a great undertaking that began in 2007 and is on going today.
The Great Wall of China was designed to keep out Mongol hordes, but the Great Green Wall of Africa faces an even more formidable opponent, the Sahara Desert.
The shifting sands of the Sahara creep ever southward into the Sahel, swallowing up what was once farm, forest and field. But African nations are uniting to halt the desert's advance by planting trees in an east to west line starting in Senegal, then passing through Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and ending in Djibouti. When completed the wall will be more than nine miles wide and 4,750 miles long.
