From Blue Community Ambassador Isadora Cruxên:
Great essay by Valerio Bini and Alessio Iocchi on the failures of the “Great Green Wall” in Africa, a phantom mega-development project:
The Great Green Wall (GGW) was launched in 2007 as an ambitious tree planting project meant to create a vegetation barrier over a length of approximately 7,000 km from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea along the Sahelian region in Africa. It was led by Presidents Obasanjo (Nigeria), Khadhafi (Lybia) and Wade (Senegal) and promised to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land and create around 10 million jobs across 11 of the poorest countries on earth.
