Talk:Great Green Wall (Africa)

Implementation?

I'm not really clear, have any trees been planted? It seems like its a framework and a plan Ottawakismet (talk) 04:09, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Great question, thanks! DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:50, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Untitled

Seem like there's a noun missing in the following sentence: On June 17, 2010, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) announces that the project will be first financed by a $119 million, already adopted by the African Union in 2007.

How is this possible?

As a reader of this article, I am wondering how it is possible to plant trees in a desert and make them survive. Is it really enough to plant seedlings? Is there irrigation involved? Are special types of trees being used? Are goats and other animals kept away? Joreberg (talk) 19:18, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

• Great Green Wall → Great Green Wall (Africa)
• Three-North Shelter Forest Program → Great Green Wall (China)

– Both of these initiatives are commonly called "Great Green Wall" and they have approximately the same amount of mentions in major English-language sources.

• Examples of sources using "Great Green Wall" to refer to the African initiative: NYTimes , BBC , NatGeo , Smithsonian, Nature
• Examples of sources using "Great Green Wall" to refer to the Chinese initiative: NYtimes , BBC , NatGeo , Smithsonian, Nature

"Three-North Shelter Forest Program" is the official name but is not the commonly used term.

There is no clear primary topic here, and I believe readers would be best served by a disambiguation page at the base title rather than a hatnote. The articles have a comparable number of views (the extreme spike in views last week was due to a YouTube video).

Cost Recovery

"The $8-billion project intends to restore 100 million hectares " That's $80 per hectare. I would guess that selling the land would recoup the cost - and more - as well as perhaps paying forward for more restoration. 74.127.200.98 (talk) 17:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Any coords to get a look at this thing from Google Maps? I mean, anywhere? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Dodgy official site

The site link in the infobox causes my anti-virus software to block it: "...infected with Other:Malware-gen [Trj]...", whatever that means. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
