Part 1/9:
Restoring Land to Promote Peace and Prosperity in the Sahel
What if a simple land restoration technique could help resolve one of the world's most ancient and persistent conflicts? This question leads us to the edge of the Sahara Desert in Africa’s Sahel region, where farmers and herders have coexisted for centuries amid scarce resources. Yet, increasing desertification and resource competition threaten this fragile balance, risking violence and instability.
This story explores how innovative, yet straightforward, ecological strategies are transforming degraded lands into thriving ecosystems, creating peace not just between people but within their environment as well.
