In the drylands of the Sahel, trees are far more than part of the scenery. They’re a source of food, medicine, and hope. This video explains how communities across Niger are transforming degraded land into fertile ground by working with nature. Through tree planting, soil and water conservation, and sustainable land restoration, over 233,000 hectares have been revived, empowering 551 villages to become self-reliant, even during the lean season. Learn how the World Food Programme (WFP) and local communities are harnessing the power of trees to: Improve soil fertility and water retention Reduce erosion and desertification Boost harvests of crops like corn and mung beans Build resilience against climate shocks When trees thrive, people thrive. Watch how nature-based solutions are helping communities in the Sahel grow stronger, greener, and more food secure. #Sahel #ClimateAction #LandRestoration #WFP #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #Regreening
