On a summit this week ahead of a UN conference on biodiversity, 50 countries have pledged to protecting 30 percent of the planet by 2030. Some 14 billion dollars are to be spent in the next five years to accelerate the development of the Great Green Wall project to push back the southward expansion of the Sahara Desert by growing trees, grassland, and other plants stretching over 8000 km for a width of 15 km, restoring 100 million hectares of land with plants.
