They Kept Planting Trees in the Sahara and Kept Failing. Then They Released 500 Tortoises, and the Desert Looked Alive From Space

They released 500 giant reptiles into a barren stretch of the Sahara. Five years later, satellites spotted green where only sand had been.

Yes, unfortunate for him he had a split palm otherwise would have left him for another yr or two. I cull hard with my axis porcinus stags.
They had a fallow herd in nz with cleft palms, but eventually with time and better quality animals they turned things about and now its a pleasure to shoot a trophy with no cleft.

This is great to see! I've spent a considerable amount of time in Mali, mostly in the Sahel region around Gao. It is a deserted and desolate place with limited greenery beyond the main waterways (Niger river) . Scorching hot temperatures that barely go down at night in the summer months. All that said, it is still a gorgeous country with amazing people.

Unfortunately, the Sahara is not the only thing creeping South and affecting the landscape, fauna and people... Inter-tribal conflicts, Russia, China, ISIS, etc, etc, etc., are all trying to get a piece of this land with borders drawn by white dudes that made absolutely no sense to those who live there.
