Green Wall of Sahara

Nowdays African countries fight against sand in Sahara.

Last summer 11 African countries held a meeting in theme "how to construct the Green Wall in Sahara". The main goal was the stopping of Sahara spreading. Action would be important because there is a real danger that in 2025 Sahara will overwhelm agricultural lands.

The main concept of such a green wall would be the establishment of 15 km forest to stop sand hurricanes.
