Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

@appassionato A similar kind of project in Madagascar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ef6QIuYDgw I liked how they spent a bunch of the video explaining that it's not just about digging and moving on - the key to their work is identifying why the area was deforested in the first place (eg trees chopped down for firewood), and working with the local community to regrow sustainable livelihoods alongside regrowing the forest.
How we're restoring ancient forest WITHOUT planting trees in Madagascar
