Map of how the Great Green Wall is actually laid out across the Sahel 👇
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:
✨ Restore degraded land
✨ Slow desertification
✨ Support farmers and local communities
✨ Strengthen food security
✨ Build resilience against climate change
It’s not just a single wall of trees.
It’s a living mosaic of restoration — trees, native vegetation, soil renewal, water conservation, and community-led land healing across a vast region.
This isn’t about division.
It’s about repair.
A continent-scale act of restoration rooted in resilience, ecology, and hope. 💚
