Restoring Degraded Drylands

Dates to rehabilitate Senegal s forest cover

Dates to rehabilitate Senegal’s forest cover In Senegal, the National Agency for Reforestation and the Great Green Wall has just launched an operation to collect date pits to restore Senegal s forest cover, as the country is losing 40,000 hectares of forest per year. Therefore, the National Agency for Reforestation and the Great Green Wall is stepping up initiatives to restore degraded land. The agency’s latest initiative aims to plant thousands of trees in the West African country. In a 2018 report, the World Bank said Senegal had 81,480 km 2 of forest cover. But 40,000 hectares of forest are lost every year due to human activity. The most affected areas are located in the Ferlo, in the east of Senegal, in the Sine Saloum in the west and in Casamance in the south.

Africa s Great Green Wall: 3 million trees to be planted

Print Nonprofit Trees for the Future (TREES) and the Arbor Day Foundation are joining forces to plant three million trees in Senegal, Chad, and Mali this year as part of a global effort to establish Africa’s Great Green Wall. “Forests and lush landscapes are disappearing as unsustainable land use and climate change impacts continue to reshape our planet,” says Trees for the Future Director of Programs Brandy Lellou. “But with our proven solution for land restoration and exciting collaborations with partners like Arbor Day Foundation and the Great Green Wall, there is reason to be optimistic.” The Great Green Wall is a global initiative to stop desertification in Africa’s Sahel region due to overgrazing, deforestation, climate impacts, destructive agriculture practices, and the encroaching Sahara Desert. The goal is to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land with trees and plants while also improving lives and strengthening economies.
