Great Kavir: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''Great Kavir''' (Kaveer meaning "wasteland" in Arabic) is a desert spanning across [[Battganuur]], [[Bulkh]], [[Pursat]], and [[Umardwal]] in [[Daria]], [[Audonia]]. Some 5,000 years ago, the area was not so arid and the vegetation might have been closer to a {{wp|savanna}}. However, desertification set in around 3000 BCE, and the desert became much like it is today.

There is an international reclamation project called the [[Great Green Wall]] occurring in [[Battganuur]], [[Bulkh]], and [[Pursat]], with investment from [[Burgundie]] to green, rewild, and de-desertify the edge of the desert to reclaim arable land.
