From reuterspictures: Circular gardens of edible and medicinal plants are being planted in Senegal under Africa's Great Green Wall initiative
Kamara shows a sketch of a Tolou Keur garden as he speaks to journalists whilst sitting with his family members at his house in Boki Diawe.
"This project is incredibly important," said Kamara, finally at home after a night spent at the bakery followed by 10 hours of cultivating edible and medicinal plants in the garden. The wider initiative has only managed to plant 4% of the pledged 100 million hectares of trees, and completing it by 2030, as planned, could cost up to $43 billion, according to United Nations estimates.Baydi Wague, 11, waters a newly planted tree at a Tolou Keur.By contrast, the 'Tolou Keur' gardens have flourished in the seven months since the project began and now number around two dozen, said Senegal's reforestation agency.
Project manager Karine Fakhoury said it was important that local people felt fully engaged: "This is not an external project, where somebody comes from outside and tells people what to do. It is something entirely indigenous."A Fulani nomadic tribe member sits on a cart as she travels with a caravan in the Barkedji-Dodji Forest, part of the Great Green Wall of the Sahara and the Sahel.
