@ParangLima They're building a Green Wall at the edge of the Sahara Desert. Most trees do not need watering every day. There's rainfall at the edge of the Sahara.

great effort. we mankind should help each other to overcome challenge given by nature. hope later there will be more breakthrough either from china part or from africa part.

bravo!

Wow ! Keep at it !

​@John Zyp I'm pretty sure they got that whole process figured out already.. after all, it's been in process since 2007 and is successful thus far. Also, there is rain, and there is vegetation at the edge of the desert.. they plant more among the existing vegetation to thicken the greenery so it becomes more able to withstand whatever wind and sand blows over.

Chinas dictator destroyed the countryside and caused the climate disaster The real fix is freedom

@@Batman-to7qc I, too, appreciate freedom but, in the case of climate change, "free" countries like the USA, Canada, and England have, to date, contributed more to AGW, and climate change, than China. China, India, Brazil and other "developing" countries are certainly catching up and China proudces more, on an annual basis than even the USA. In any case, it is a bit too late. The melting of Arctic tundra and sea floor methane clathrates, appears to be unstoppable and unaccounted for, by the IPCC. Like Cronos, we have eaten our children's future.

Free countries are cleaner, safer and healthier Oppressors like the Chinese Communist Party cause drought, poverty, climate migration, lower life expectancy, desertification and food insecurity

I think it will happen, with the help of robots. And yes Geoff Lawton's work is a very inspiring.

I am looking into this right now. Studying this. I want to start a startup in this effort.

I know this comment is now 4 months old, but where would you suggest I should look if I wish to read and know more about Geoff Lawton?

You will find lots of information about Geoff Lawton right here on KZfaq. His mentor was Bill Mollison. Look up Permaculture, and Greening the Desert. Fabulous and inspiring!

yeah, like in Las Vegas. Actually DESALINATION TECHNOLOGY is the only big secret to greening the worlds deserts. Big pipelines full of water from the ocean to the deserts...DONE DEAL.

If you watched the video you can find out that the Chinese Communist Goverment came and demolished their village where they had been farmers, doing their best to live of the land, and now they have to take other jobs where they get money to buy food instead of caring for the land. Good thing Westerners have started giving the Chinese people technology so they can attempt to rebuild all the forrests the Chinese Communist Goverment have chopped down without replacing the trees!

@@jensjansson1993 My comment referred to so called experts thinking they can terraform Mars (when they can't even repair the Earth).

Too many in too small an area for too long of time, sure. But they are valuable fertilizers of the soil. Like anything else, they have to be utilized correctly.

I can help with that, I'll just eat them all 😂

Holistic management is the way to go with cattle

Opium is used in lot of painkillers.

+Hiren Patel and heroin...

Still a crop

your missing the point the fact is that it was used to grow something if you can grow opium you could grow other than drugs the same can be applied else where in all desert

plant the garden

This is a big scale, it's like "terraforming". How about a big power plant on the coast, giant pumps pump the water inland, some vast salt water aqueduct. The water evaporates and makes more humidity, and also you can harvest the salt and brine products, and have a little industry just from that. That greenhouse complex was pretty huge and fancy, clearly this is important and they're willing to think big. OK, seawater canal goes for miles inland, and some of it is covered, so you have MILES of linear solar desalination plant, and the trickle of water goes to irrigate the area close TO the desalination stuff, presently you have grass and trees going on for miles, a linear forest. Those little plastic micro-irrigation pipes branch out from that, so now the canal and the irrigators are like the veins in a leaf, and the reclamation area gets wider, and tapers off into the plain arid desert.... Seems like it could keep a lot of people busy, and who wouldn't want desert strawberries? Some desert potatoes, I can see how it might work out. Imagine reclaiming millions of square miles of sand and making it back into villages and farms!

Rainfall also depends on vegetation. Forest and vegetation attract rain and also keeps water in the soil, to a certain extent at least.

damn!

Sad! But Sri Lanka shud follow Israel, Japan or Singapore as a role model for development. They are hard working and educated people. They shudn't follow mindless and greedy developments adopted by Bangladesh, Pakistan or India.

It turns out that it takes a whole lot of resources to rebuild after a war. I do not blame them for their actions. It is tragic to see a forest get decimated for sure but I am sure that once peace and stability come back, the people will once again turn their attention to protecting their environment

*Are there people, companies, or organizations that are using the ideas and methods you mentioned? Because it sounds a brilliant idea?*

@@LifeOdysseyMotivation The Einstein fridge is the propane fridge in most RV's, any heat source will make it work and it has no moving parts. compressed air power storage is done by anyone who uses air tools, though larger scale would require using a cave or dry oil wells perhaps. the atmospheric condenser idea is for sale online but uses electric power, doing via the einstein fridge cooling method would let it be off grid and just needs heat. The thermoelectric effect can take heat and make electricity thou as well.

compressed air requires a vacuum which in turn requires a large amount of energy. Still, I suppose I hadn't considered it for energy storage

Yes; but it's a planned one, rather than one that has grown up naturally there.

Use your brain

That´s quite true. Every bit of this world has some kind of stigma regarding different types of food. Potatoes where never a "Chinese" thing, but slowly its getting there. Same for Yogurt and a few other things. It´s kind of funny how some things are regarded in different spots. Americans have a huge "Asian carp" problem, but "traditionally" don´t eat it. In my country we even import snails! Because we can´t produce enough for internal consumption. Squid or Octopus are expensive due to high demand. On the other hand crawfish (fresh water) is an invading species which traditionally we don´t eat. :-) In the North of Europe I was charged "peanuts" for some fantastic "squids" because they don´t eat it. It was going to the garbage anyway. Well the second time I bought them, it wasn´t "peanuts" anymore. They start charging seriously. Damn it. LOL :-) In Nigeria I was offered fruit "RATS" and Monitor Lizard , both are considered a delicacy... This is a really colorful world. :-) Cheers

Quit fascinating that strawberries could grow in such harsh conditions. I always thought that it took a delicate environment for them to grow.

True but Gobi is still way dryer and more hostile desert

That's because documentaries make everything unnecessarily emotional with their camera shots and music

without human intervention the deserts would continue to grow. However, in recent decades we've figured out how to green the desert. The rate of greening is increasing, despite an overall increase in desert size

sand's surprisingly heavy. Sure, the wind can move some of the sand, but not all of it at once. The roots dig down deep enough that it's holding onto enough sand. Additionally the leaf litter helps stabilize the soil so it will be less likely to blow away

Dj Genius Would I be self-racist to say that I think Asians are smarter than Caucasians in general? :D

Edgars Cirulis because Asia has long history and wars are common throughout history. Resources are scarce and People/Tribes who are dumb are eliminated through wars, and they didn’t pass on their low IQ genes. So yeah, natural selection at its finest.

Joe Trueblood - Indeed it worked and now are getting closer and closer to become fire wood!!! :-( Quite sad we don´t seem to learn the damn lesson once and for all. :-( www.pri.org/stories/2018-02-03/trees-helped-save-americas-farms-during-dust-bowl-are-now-under-threat Some 700 years ago a Portuguese King decided to plant trees to hold the sand and control erosion. Those pine forests still exist today and people still profit from it and the soil is still protected. ;-)

The examples you showed are huge energy intensive assaults on nature, they are not sustainable and will wither away once the oil is gone. One should try to increase the biodiversity and build up soil with permaculture methods, not use heavy intensive cultivation.

LOL israel?! They have been leaching all the water from the underground aquifers to the point of exhausted dried up barren places. "we can make the desert green again". Yeah by leaching water of the sea of galilea... Not only that, but the fact that the trajectory of the wall runs "conveniently" along the biggest wells just so people from Poland can water their lawns during the summer while discriminating and leaving land barren for those who families have lived there for generations.

@@ABC-ABC1234 well at some point in the past, water was able to accumulate in that region which is why those aquifers exist in the first place. Water in the soil leads to water in the air which leads to increased rainfall. The main thing to restoration is to plant a diverse array of native plants

@@justinokraski3796 I don't think you realize how this works here, they are draining water at a super fast rate!! It's a no gain game, it's depleting faster than it can replenish. And we can already see it happening in the Westbank, places that used to be lush and green are now completely barren, due to overusage of wells. Not only that, but that racist apartheid in government in ISISrael has deliberately set the trajectory of the wall in such a manner that it depletes all water resources for the Palestinians.

Glupi Medo he says that the drastic change in temperature between day and night in the desert helps increase the fructose content of the fruit, thereby making it sweet.

Gobi desert is in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia(China). lol...

You can't physically import the volumes required, the desert is bigger than many countries and would require billions of tons of compost. Compost deposited on dry sand would simply blow away anyway. As for filleting sea water- you cannot remove salt by filtering, only through energy hungry desalination. You then have the problem of super salty brine to dispose of, which causes issues if dumped back in the ocean.

Spencer Wilton To simply mix soil with sand is possible to do it all at once is impossible but to do it over a long time is possible . We have as long as this planet shall live . Mixed in the right quantities is possible . We could easily bury salt centrally inland which would disperse the salt slowly and naturally which wouldn’t cause a problem . Finding solutions is more important than creating problems .

@@danielchadwick8513 make compost you need water as it has to be wet. Water is what they don't have.

Hong Peng What is wrong with solar powered pumps and pipes to create man / woman made rivers , lakes . ‘A solution is what solves the problem’ ; not another problem .

@@danielchadwick8513 If you check out the map of China, you will find out that the northwest part of China has almost no river go through it. That why China is working on transporting water from south to north for decades now. Lack of water and hard to get out for that part of China are two of the reasons why 96% of Chinese are living on 40% of land, mainly at southeast area of China. That's also why China is focusing on infrastructure still now. From one of this year's episodes of The Grand Tour, they said that China is building 6 thousand miles of motorway per year for the past 8 years or so.
