Map of how the Great Green Wall is actually laid out across the Sahel ๐
Across Africa, more than 20 countries have joined one of the most ambitious environmental efforts in modern history: the Great Green Wall.
Stretching across the Sahel, along the southern edge of the Sahara, this African-led initiative is helping to:
โจ Restore degraded land
โจ Slow desertification
โจ Support farmers and local communities
โจ Strengthen food security
โจ Build resilience against climate change
Itโs not just a single wall of trees.
Itโs a living mosaic of restoration โ trees, native vegetation, soil renewal, water conservation, and community-led land healing across a vast region.
This isnโt about division.
Itโs about repair.
A continent-scale act of restoration rooted in resilience, ecology, and hope. ๐
