Forest Gardens are a genius approach to tree planting where trees are mixed with fruits and vegetables to create a biodiversity paradise. It’s a natural solution to overcome poverty, drought and desertification.
In our ninth mission, we’re planting 40,000 trees to turn the barren land into these beautiful forest gardens.

Restore 100 million hectares of currently degraded land in Africa.
The GGW initiative’s ambition is to restore 100 million hectares of currently degraded land; sequester 250 million tons of carbon and create 10 million green jobs by 2030. This will help communities living along the Wall to grow: 
one of humanity’s most precious natural assets: fertile land. 
economic opportunities for the world’s youngest population. 
food security for the millions that go hungry every day. 
climate resilience in a region where temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth.
a new world wonder spanning 8000km.
Public awareness campaign:
Growing a World Wonder is UNCCD’s campaign to raise awareness about the Great Green Wall. 
The campaign aims to inspire a global popular movement to deliver this urgent African-led dream by 2030. It centers on the core narrative that the Great Green Wall is a compelling symbol of hope addressing challenges ranging from climate change to food security, migration to resource-driven conflict. It is a concrete example of man and nature working together to create a unique legacy – a new world wonder for the next generation.  
The campaign aims to boost global awareness of the initiative in public spheres, policy debates, as well as media and cultural sectors with a clear view towards inspiring long-term public and private investment. 
It has already reached millions of people through media outreach, events, and civil society involvement. Among the future highlights is the release of the Great Green Wall documentary produced in collaboration with the Oscar-nominated filmmaker Fernando Meirelles and Malian singer Inna Modja.

Planting Great Green Walls in an attempt to restore dry land has become a continental effort, led by governments and NGOs in both Africa and China. Now India has ambitious plans to do the same. But planting and sustaining millions of trees in water scare locations is a huge and complicated undertaking. To regenerate plant life at scale, what can India do differently?
