'Forgotten' water harvesting system transforms 'barren wasteland' into thriving farmland.

The Great Green Wall initiative began in 2007 to keep the Sahara Desert from encroaching on the rest of Africa .

The U.N. World Food Programme and local villagers teamed up to regreen the Sahel region at the northern edge of Senegal .

If this desertified "wasteland" can be rejuvenated so successfully, it provides hope for recovering other land that many people might write off as useless or barren. As climate change continues to alter the Earth 's landscape—literally—we'll need to keep working together both locally and globally to find solutions like the Great Green Wall and support their implementation.
