#GreatGreenWall 2.0: #China is #geoengineering #deserts with blue-green #algae
These specially selected strains of #cyanobacteria can survive extreme heat and drought for long periods, according to China Science Daily on Thursday. When rain finally comes, they spring to life, spreading rapidly and forming a tough, biomass-rich crust over the sand. This living layer stabilises the dunes and creates the perfect foundation for future plant growth.

Landwirte und Gärtner:innen in Deutschland sollten sich nicht zu schade sein, ein paar der in'ner #Sahara erprobten (!!!) #Dürre-Gegenmaßnahmen anzuwenden, statt mit Dieselpumpen (!) Grundwasser in die Sonne (!) zu sprühen. #Wendland ist ja ganz schön, aber klimatisch günstiger wird's wohl nicht.

Bereits 40 Prozent des weltweiten Bodens sind degradiert oder geschädigt, was erhebliche Auswirkungen auf #Klima, #Biodiversity und die Lebensgrundlage von fast der Hälfte der Menschheit hat. Besonders betroffen sind die #Sahelzone, #China, #Indien und Teile Südeuropas. Trotz ambitionierter Initiativen wie der „#GreatGreenWall“, die bereits 18 Millionen Hektar Land wiederhergestellt hat, bleibt das Problem ernst.

"Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys with the UN World Food Programme to the Northern border of Senegal to see an innovative land recovery project within the Great Green Wall of Africa that is harvesting rainwater, increasing food security, and rehabilitating the ecosystem."

How the UN is Holding Back the Sahara Desert -
#forestation = growing a forest
#ProForestation = growing an existing forest to it's fullest ecological potential.
#ReForestation = regrowing a forest where one was before. This is often done to stop #deforestation and #desertification.
#afforestation = growing a forest where none was before, e.g. to regenerate the soil or attract rain.
Some of my favorite forestation projects:
The #GreatGreenWall of Africa - a project to stop the desertification of the Sahel region.
#Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees.
#ForestFinance - invest in forestation projects across the globe.
