How the #Sahara Desert has Turned into a #FarmlandOasis.
If you look at a map of the African continent, you'll see that one of the world's largest deserts is located in the north. This place, unlike the rest of the continent, isn't as welcoming as you'd hopedfor. Transforming a #desert into a lush green forest sounds like something out of a disney film. Given that we're talking about 3.3 million square miles of sand, this seems like a crazy concept. If it were possible, it would solve many of the world's environmental issues and make living easier for future generations. While it is physically conceivable to #transform a desert into a #forest, the procedure would most likely take decades. It makes you wonder if it's even conceivable or if this is just a load of nonsense. Scientists are putting their heads together andhave developed a strategy to accomplish this. So, in this video, join us as we look at how scientists intend to accomplish this miracle.

The Sahara comes to mind when most people think of a classic desert environment, complete with scorching sun, rippling sand, and hidden oases. Many people are familiar with the Sahara Desert, which is the world's largest scorching desert and the third-largest desert after the Arctic and Antarctica. The Sahara is covered with so much sand that it covers an area the size of China or the United States. It wasn't always covered with sand, though. What we currently know as the world's largest hot desert would have been unrecognizablearound seven million years agowhen the Sahara desert was covered bya gigantic sea called Tethys. So what happened to all that water?

Hi guys, thank you for watching today’s video! Do you also think Rinaudo is such a genius?

The Sahara Dust Storms are required for the rains to fall in South America to keep the South American rainforest healthy. The loss of this cycle will be detrimental to the rain forest of Brazil and the like.

the one major downside to greening deserts is causing mass extinction of the animals and few plants that call it home.
Plant and animal diversity in the regions will of course improve but at the cost of killing off the "original" inhabitants.

Doesn't the sand from the Sahara fertilise the Amazon? So what happens to the Amazon with no fertilisation?

deserts exist because of the Hadley cell dropping dry air at 30 degrees north latitude, something that can not be changed

How's this for a greening possibility: redirecting the flow of rivers in the south toward the north and flooding the Sahara. Why waste precious river water on the ocean when it can be put to better use on the desert!
