Regreening the desert with John D. Liu | VPRO Documentary | 2012

Awesome!! A much needed conversation. The only thing I wish you had done was provide translation of the non English speakers.

If we continue to perpetuate that flaw in logic (not including the wellbeing of our ecosystem) then we deserve to render ourselves extinct (which will follow). Too late for yours truly, but Life must go on _ and that does not necessarily include Humanity. The Great Filter awaits . . .

The wealth is in the soil.

Im always amazed how these so called experts with the BLM and all the other state and federal agencies and even the farmers and ranchers act like they just discovered something. Nature isn’t a secret but it has No Lobbyists, no monetary resources that can influence all the other forces out there want to EXPLOIT it. Equilibrium, harmony and lack of individual greed in nature is what makes it work.

We need to let nature do it's thing and not mess with it. For what we've ruined, we need to restore it to it's natural state and then step away.

Just get out of the way of mother nature and she'll take care of the environment. She IS the environment.

There's a lot to be said for leaving nature the fcuk alone.

We spend trillions on war. Why not rebuild earth. Trillionaires. Why? We are humans. Beings capable of understanding that which is devine. Living from devine understanding. As liu said we can rebuild the entire earth, making it a garden of eden. A place where we simply walked and communed with the devine .

T-Mobile is the absolute worst

I've been planting trees on my local area,but somebody has been going around pulling them up, they even took a strimmer to were I planted one tree to find if there was anything he missed. In my area there is a problem with people trespassing on other peoples property and drilling onto healthy trees to kill them off. I am convinced that the destruction of the environment is deliberately done by certain elements. It's ok though because whoever did it can't find every tree that I plant, plus this year I'm just going to take thousands of acorns, sycamore seeds and ash trees and just through them down the bank amongst the gauze. This way the vandals will have to come out on force in a few years time when they realise that trees are growing to undo what I'm doing.

An example to the 🌎....
I ❤ 🐦🕊️🌻🍅🫑 Mother Nature!

John D Liu should have asked questions instead of taking all the credit for someone else's very hard work and sacrifices. Richard St Barbe Baker was penniless working towards this cause and is THE REASON for the work towards planting trees today.

And it was Richard St Barbe Baker who initiated what is called The Great Green Wall project. That's why the African people are planting tress, along with other countries around the world, who have been affected by the greed of corporations and big banking.

LOL, this guy did not start this movement!!! Look up Richard St. Barbe Baker. He started "The Men of the Trees" in Africa in 1922. He was the first to see deforestation during England occupancy in Africa.

Good question. Here's another one. Heard they are going to Mars to harvest the ice. Going to use it to power rockets? Ice is going to power rockets? I thought ice melted?

Allan Savory is saying that controlled use of these herds CAN save the soil. I say that all the great green generators David Bamberger, Allan Savory, Grete Davey and some lesser known generators Collette O'Neill and Paul Gautschi should get together and do their work in the appropriate stages.

Wel vreemd. 50 jaar geleden leerden we dit al op de landbouwschool. Dit is oud nieuws. The Australian cattle king, Sir Sidney Kidman, zag dit rui, 100 jaar geleden ook al. Maar de wil om deze wijsheid toe te passen was er nog niet.

Yes we can green deserts, but should we. And I can see that this is a the climate scam. If there are toxis in our land and water and air it is politics and not Climate that is the problem. Politics determine all the damage done to the planet. Politicians don't care about real science and never have.

Thanks. so beautifully documented.

NO MORE LAWN MEANS NO MORE LAWN COSTS AND NO MORE AIR CONDITIONER COSTS.
About 30 years ago I reforested the lot around our house. When we purchased the house it was a typical grass lawn with two trees suburban home. I initially planted 60 young hardwood trees throughout the yard and 90 Burford Holly bushes around the perimeter of the property. Looking at a house as having four walls and one roof I concluded that 4/5ths of the heat was coming through the walls and 1/5th was coming through the roof. The roof was getting direct heat and the walls were getting direct heat plus reflected heat reflected from the lawn. .My reasoning was the trees would stop direct sunlight and the Holly bushes would stop reflected sunlight hitting the walls of house. Before the trees and Holly bushes grew to their current size we had to run the air conditioner 24/7. This gave us a power bill close to $400.00 a month. In spite of the high power pill, it was unable to cool the house to a comfortable temperature. I made a few modifications to the house by adding roofed decks around the back and front entrances, to block the heat coming into the house through the doors, plus replacing the small window in the upstairs bedroom with French Doors plus a small roofed deck. The French Doors effectively took out most of the upper bedroom wall allowing the heat rising from the lower floors to escape. As the trees and Holly Bushes grew providing more shade the electric bill came down. Now the house is surrounded with a forest canopy and we no longer use or need the air conditioner. Our electric bill has been reduced by almost 75% and is currently $110.00 a month. The forest canopy is filled in to a point where the house can no longer be seen from the street. The property forestation is completely self sustaining and does not require watering, chemicals, mowing or any other human intervention.

Goats? Messi is there? 😯

Desert is spreading so fast to productive areas.

Marsabit central in Kenya was once agricultural production areas with enough rain all year round but climate change Has reduced it another Semi Aridland

Climate change Has no boundary and requires World wide attention

Local problem becomes National problem, equally spread to internationaly.

Technology is Higly needed to change the Desert into Greenland
