In the fight against desertification, Burkina Faso mobilizes to plant 5 million trees in one hour

We always say that other countries cannot simply one-to-one copy everything China does, but this is one case where it is absolutely the right move to copy China's anti-desertification campaign. I hope that they either send people to China to observe and learn China's techniques or ask China to send a few experts over to teach them. This is not just an environmental initiative, it has very positive long term impacts on the local economy and agriculture.
