Stopping the Sahara: Morocco and Senegal's Environmental Battle | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Fertile land is vanishing all over the world, swallowed by the desert. Africa has felt this devastation the most. In a century, the Sahara has moved south by 250 km over a 6,000 km front, turning land sterile and forcing populations to flee.

In Morocco and Senegal, a determined struggle against desertification is underway. The oases are being revitalized, and a Great Green Wall is under construction.

The Oasis Programme in Morocco and the Great Green Wall of Senegal prove that the retreat of fertile land can be halted. It’s about more than just reclaiming lost ground; it’s about making the reclaimed desert land viable again.
