    It’s all hand made and reducing emigration. It should be backed up to speed up the process

      Seriously, I image a digger can dig one of those halve moons every few seconds or so if it is equiped with a custom shovel. And maybe sprinkle in some fertilizer to kickstart the growth.

        That would be probably too fast and requires less manpower. But manpower could be used for the consequent work needed to maintain that “wall”. Anything could help in the end, but they’re ok like that now, apparently

      Not me so np, but as a non English native, I’d say he speaks like any other brit/american

    The Sahara desert plays a vital role in the ecosystem of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s why there is so much life in that region compared to the Pacific.

      I’m sure it won’t be entirely converted. However, what “so much life” are you talking about ??? Desert <> Mediterranean sea

        Yeah the Atlantic and the Sahara are massively intertwined. I think that the other commentor is missing is that the expansion of the desert is actually negatively effecting the ocean now (ie the sunlight % drop from the sand haze)

    Western countries should look at this and learn from it. In this part of the world, rivers are canals, infrastructures are made to to flow water as quickly as possible to the sea or ocean. The water need to stay locally to recharge the underwater, to provide water to local communities, to feed people, etc.

    We distroyed the environment and need to change that.
