'Great Green Wall' planners meet in Nouakchott

2010-12-26

A regional meeting on the "Great Green Wall" anti-desertification project opens in Nouakchott on Sunday (December 26th), PANA reported. Along with planting trees to combat desertification, the Senegal-led initiative includes income-generating activities that also protect African ecosystems. Upon completion within the next 5-years, the 15-kilometer wide "Great Green Wall" will cover 7,000 kilometers from Dakar to Djibouti.
