We grew a forest WITHOUT planting a single tree

Video Description

We’re using underground forests to turn the desert green without planting a single tree. 🌱 Join us to rewild the planet: https://planetwild.com/join/m33 🌲 Switch to Ecosia: https://ecosia.co/planetwild Across Africa, forests are disappearing faster than anywhere else on Earth. But hidden under the surface, a solution is waiting: Underground Forests. Root systems that are still alive and with the potential to restore huge areas of barren landscape. In our 33rd mission, we're drawing on ancient wisdom and the discovery of an Australian agriculturist to help these underground forests burst out. A special thanks to World Vision, Justdiggit and Richard Allenby-Pratt for additional footage and photos. #undergroundforests #regreeningdesert Chapters 0:00 Turning a desert into a forest 0:39 Why tree planting fails in Africa’s drylands 1:55 Discovering the underground forest 2:16 Tony’s breakthrough in Niger 4:58 Learning Kisiki Hai with Samuel and the Lead Foundation 5:37 How farmer-managed natural regeneration works 7:09 How Ecosia turns your searches into trees 8:52 Champion farmers regreening Tanzania 10:26 From living stumps to lasting change Links 🔗 Ecosia - Most tree planting hurts the climate.
