just to take away the journey, the destination, right? document trees. subscribe. now. second name, treat the, the videos like these a popping up or the social media. they show colossal dust storms raging to delhi and the surrounding states. but this isn't a freak weather event. the storms are becoming seasonal. the task comes from the thought. does it like the sahara and the go, the it's expanding and destroying vital living space, africa and china. i've responded with, i'm fishes, prompting projects. great green pools of trees to try and stopped as though to vacation in india. india is lucky. the north has a natural green bar at the originally mountain range, which is held back to thought as it for centuries. that is until now,

the mega dust storms and hot winds blowing in from the desolate a threatening the lives of millions in the national capital region. in 2019 india made a promising announcement. it would be prompting its own quite greenville and the rob lease to help fight does a vacation. but as we're about to see, was of trees have shown mixed results in other parts of the world. and the roughly mountain range is facing some serious threat to that side. so what can india do better? and will it be able to slow the advancing? does that the arrival east of the oldest mountain range in india? they took billions of used to form and separate the sandy does it in the northwest from the 1st all plains by the east, which is home to at least 70000000 people in india's national capital region, or the powerful dust storms have led to a spike. and bronchitis, breeding difficulties and lung disease. they also destroy the soil and damage crops . but this is not just the fault of climate change. direct human action such as

illegal mining deforestation and urban sprawl. eating with the mountain barrier. untethered charging. deserved vacation in the wide region. the mining is happening to us such a big extent that he loved the units being raised to the ground. nina aaliyah runs the roughly by child citizens movement, which campaigns to protect the robberies. there are millions and millions of people living or without the and all of these, the desert is going to completely engulfed entire the northwest and, you know, but north india is construction boom demands building materials and lots of them. india supreme court found mining in the a release in 2002, 2009 on 2018. it's repeatedly ordered a stop to the and regulated urban sprawl taking place that to but the destruction

of this ancient mountain range continues at an alarming rate. it's going to impact your info tightens your climate. all of these are difficult. ition doesn't work very judge way to reduce and go zones of why did i have are technically destroyed. and of course, the florida color, vertical bill checked in as a well as an environmental analyst. he's been working in the roughly region for decades. if you guys project what you have, then you wouldn't be certainly able to predict what, what you blocked in the future. 2018 government study estimates that at least 20 percent of the arrival of hills and brought just on double ready been lost to mining. important groundwater systems have been disrupted, and many rivers have disappeared altogether. the robberies h and for us to also in trouble. scientists calculated that since 1975 over 1000 square kilometers of trees have been cut down and replaced with housing and farm

land and taking into account illegal deforestation. my 6000 square kilometers of tree cover has been lost, and that's the equivalent of more than 380000 cricket pitches in 2019 after season of especially punishing dust storms, the government proposed solution. and just ministry of environment forest and climate change would create a great green gold. 1400 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide to restore 1500000 hectares of degraded land in the rodney region and stopped the expansion of the thought. does it in a press release, the ministry pledge that will would create green car doors across the country to come by land degradation, not the will would run through the states of good rot, raw just on arianna and delhi walked as building a great green will actually mean, the concept was made famous by the african union in 2007, as a way to collect to the re green the saw how does it region, and create livelihoods for the people living that the original tree will project

started off stretching from senegal in the west to booty in the east pulsing through starting different countries. but of course the progress across the continental is being sparsely distributed. you know, some countries have done much, much more than other countries, joseph flu. he is the c e o of the africa, great greenville project, which now has 22 countries and both in the initiative. and it's not just the idea of planting trees because you know, it could go out and boundaries. but what's really important is just an ability, how do you ensure these things route to maturity? so we have to be creative about the type of trees that are planted, you know, and make sure that there's some sort of irrigation altering the trees proved a tough challenge. but important lessons while on to results suggest that the most successful re greening on the continent has actually been achieved like bomb is planting trees alongside the crops and countries like me. sharon malawi,

one of the things that i would advise any country embarking on on these the project to ensure that the people's, the communities are part of based, right from the, from the get go and the participate and have a clear understanding of what is the benefit of these project will be to them, so this is going to be the incentive event of bringing work towards the success of the project as well. ok, because great greenville is aiming to restore 100000000 hectares of degraded land by 2030, but saw fault. well, i'm the hosted the restoration target has been achieved. the un estimates that the project still needs about $33000000000.00 of investment to complete it. the question is though, would that be money? well spent great gray moles around the world and particularly the ones in hawaii in west africa, algeria. ready ready and china that have recently been reviewed in depth, do not have a good track record at all. george taylor is it, is that

a vacation ex but from the university of colorado who's worked extensively in asia and the saw how. but if the verification. ready desiccation drying things like this are happening. they're happening primarily because of global climate change patterns. and the idea that you know, trees are going to stop a desert and advancing simply doesn't, doesn't hold water. trying to start at prompting. it's great greenville known as the 3 north shelter about project 44 years ago. ready since then, the government has spent billions on tree planting. the plan is to plant an area or forest, colorado as big as bronson italy combined by 2050. so there's still a lot to do. but can china is large scale, planting power, set it apart? china is, is quite different from these other cases. and the primary difference is just the way china is governed underway. the trainings government gets things done. so kind,

india is government, get the great greenville don. the initiative was officially launched in march 2023 . but since then, no prompting has yet been done. the ministry of environment forest and climate change says it's still preparing the state by state plan and identifying vulnerable hotspots. no one from the ministry agreed to be interviewed. and shortly off to the launch event, the indian government rewrote a decades old forest conservation rule to complete the dissolved important forest protection regulations. so this actually impacts the 40 percent will for the, for this in india anomaly, which can technically now be open for. busy for any kind of commercial activity, or if you're on the stage or mine, a lot of bidding, most ruins or, or whatever, with the damage to the arrival of these ready, accelerating mixed policy messaging has made it hard to assess the government's commitment to re greening on one hand,

the guy using the noise that actually protecting the at albany is protecting all parties. and on the other hand, introducing schemes like uh that being more just saying that the, you know, they are doing it to up on badges. verification, local communities have responded to this government in action by experimenting with their own replanting strategies. so we have to start from scratch from take note the you know, to remove the encouragement start, cleaning them up like to come to cro is a former banker, a citizen that movement. i'm go has now regenerated 10 rodney forest sites around google grams. we decided that we're going to plant or be newkirk cheese because been exposed on high re, uh we reached out to exports to you about what it needs to take on. and that obviously far is good. graham also known as go go, is a satellite city of delhi that's located within the mountain range. but it's real

estate boom has left much of the surrounding arrival of landscape scott with the legal mining sites. police did waterways and dumping. i'm good guys, bus project, trunk boomed and old mining sites into what is now the roughly biodiversity park. the team collected seeds from the rally for us to recreate hundreds of native prompt increase species. the prompting projects also made use of indigenous war to capture techniques to support the plants. they were generated in old bridge and that's an environment and ditch structure i used to channel to during the months range. and they also cleaned out. several jo had small palms that helped to recharge ground water. very, very clear that no water from our projects will go out and we will find risk of taking water from the road or bid it would be good, good, except for the into the fall into our projects. so kind of great green will help to restore india is a roughly mountains. well,

probably not the way things are going. the government doesn't actually take steps to protect that naturally one from minding strong real estate development. strong commercial activities. then are these kind of teams on knoxville we uh, you know, they're just going to be cosmetic, with communities, taking the lead on localize, replanting the responsibilities. now the indian government to make good on it's great greenville promise, in forcing legal protections in the revenue. these would be a good start. what do you think of india is great greenville plants, let us not in the comments. and remember to like subscribe if you want to see more videos, some kind of a the attention of the islands, my aunt suffering as soon as frustrated by the arrival of increasing numbers of
