From BBC World Hacks:



The Great Green Wall will span 11 countries and uses acacia trees! I hope I get a chance to see it when it gets growing.

My family lived in Senegal a few years ago. We, my wife especially,  are very excited by this project. I'd love to know if anybody on these forums has been involved in it.
