Next Natural Wonder of the World

The Great Green Wall is a reforestation initiative that will span the width of Africa.

This African-led movement aims to grow an 8,000km belt of trees, vegetation and fertile land across the Sahel to transform millions of lives living on the climate change frontline.

We can learn lessons from past efforts about how to mobilise ecopreneurship for the future.

The Sahel is at the frontline of our global efforts to combat climate change. It stretches across the entire width of the African continent: from Senegal in the west, crossing 8,000km to Djibouti in the east. It may not yet have global name recognition like the Amazon, but what happens here is absolutely vital to climate change efforts everywhere.
